Guild Wars 2

So I just had a ranked game where one of my teammates purposefully akitten because someone on our team went to far. The player that akitten is Cruuk. S/he told everyone before the match that if anyone went far, s/he would afk. Of course, no one took it seriously, as most players know that sometimes you have to play sides, decap far, ect. One of our other teammate that was at mid went far to help him out. Cruuk then left far and then akitten telling us how he wasn’t joking about afking and insulting us for not obeying him/her.
Needless to say, we lost the game. Everyone on our team lost a pip for this. I’m fine with losing a pip and losing the game, but I’m not fine with people throwing games because you don’t do everything they say and then afk.
People that purposefully afk should ether generate dishonor which won’t allow them to play spvp or ranked pvp for a period of time (I would say at lest a hour or 2), or should be band from pvp out right if it happens multiple times. (this would have to be a lot)

Here is a screenshot to prove it. I have report Cruuk, but I just wanted to bring attention to this as I think there things that could be done to make pvp a better over all experience, and now that pips are on the line it’s needed to be looked at more then ever.

It is kind of frustrating when you are a mobility class (thief) (mesmer who has left portal behind) and you go to just get a decap and teamates follow you and end up turning the node into a losing xvx meanwhile you lost other points as a result.

He’s right, but also a prick. meh Which why now I chat “going for decap” “left port” so people realize what I’m doing.

dont worry i get constanly leavers or afk ppl…

Cruuk always goes far. Always.

There was no reason for him to AFK.

There are also no reasons anyone to run with a thief to help kill someone. Good thieves choose when their fight ends, whether it is in their favor or not, it’s still the thiefs’ choice.

So many people have big kittens for far point, no idea why…

Cruuk is a kittening scrub. Everytime he is on my team I have to stretch out my back and shoulders. That feel.

Sadly, most are being more clever about it. You’re not seeing them go afk instead they are just purposely throwing the match by running into 1-3 scenarios, etc… Not following team objectives set out pre-match, etc… You know something is up when you’re fighting on point and it’s a 4-2 or even 5-2 battle and the opposing team has the other two points capped and they are not contested and the score is like 100+ point lead in favor of the other team.

This sort of scenario has played out at least four times today and unless ArenaNet has a way to rewatch the match (they don’t) then this sort of thing goes completely undetected and unpunished.

The bottom line is solo queuing and even partial pre-made queuing for ranked will end up giving you a rank that most likely has no real indication of your skill.

Yes there are times that someone is just feeding the other team free points, but it’s not the same as out right afking or auto running into a wall. It’s too hard to tell if some one is flat out bad at pvp or handing the win to the other team and I’m not asking for Anet to fix that form of behavior because that’s impossible to really address.

The fact is that he was responding and was clearly able to play. He actively chose to hand the other team the win. Keep in mind that all of my OP happened in the first minute of the game. The game is not an out right loss at that point.You are right, there is no way for Anet to see past games, but that’s why I took a screenshot.

Yes the league system only really shows how time you spent pvping rather than skill, but I think that’s another whole other problem.

Cruuk can decap, but his ego is way higher than his skill.
