Guild Wars 2

25% of games have a DC or a rage quit, please do something to punish these people so I don’t sit in queue for 5-10 minutes to just have a steamroll match.

The worst part about this is there was dishonor and then it was removed to be “revamped” and just never came back. Where is the dev work on this? I would prefer a fixed queue system to “new game modes” because any mode you add will have this same problem.

Seems like it would be good. I’d be worried it’d punish real dc’s rather than people who sit in spawn though. Oh well. If they said they’re revamping it, I can save them the trouble and tell you it’ll be fixed “soon”. Whatever that means anymore.

I think the problem with the old system was if you DC’ed or the game crashed to desktop, you where punished for something out of your control. Ut yes, “soon”

Remember that time the servers got messed up and people were getting disconnected constantly? I do.

So no. That can stay dead.

ANet couldn’t make dishonor work properly, which is why it’s still disabled. Fixing it is probably lower priority than other projects.

My problem with the “beyond their control” argument is, I wouldn’t punish someone for a single disconnect but if you disconnect repeatedly due to any reason, dont queue. It’s disrespectful to people who you are in a match with; and there’s a good chance you know it will happen.

Even if anet could tell you dropped due to connection and didn’t leave, you should get dishonor anyway. That was the point of hte system to allow some meter to fill up slowly and only punish those who repeatedly do things against the interests of other players.

Yes, but the servers messed up once, and was DCing people at random from PvP matches. People where filling there bar quickly. So ANet turned it off because it was not working as they wished. Like when the game randomly loses connection to the authentication servers. Happens every so often. Just have to look at the patch notes as to how often they have to fix a server crash. Is it right that players get locked out of there proffered game mode because of this? ANet didn’t think so, and I have to agree.

Just allow leave match with an insta refill.

But I often just hang in the starting zone after I realize its a moot point in fighting.
Then the people that suck blame me for the loss… its funny
