This is becoming epidemic. Several ranked matches in a row our team has had 1 or 2 people quit early on or go AFK because people aren’t playing the strategy they want or some other ridiculous reason. This sometimes happens even when we are winning making everyone lose the match.
This is killing the fun of sPvP for me, without even mentioning broken conditions. Anet need to reintroduce the dishonour system and have some system in place to deter people from AFKing at the respawn point.
For unranked I can tell you if we’re 3v5/ 200points down, I really don’t see a reason to prolong the inevitable while being farmed. I much rather see the match end quick and move on.
One other problem is the fact Anet pushed the reward system (best in the game) into spvp to help popularize this esport thing. I’m here for rewards as I kill time til the next WvW tourney or Xpac. Nothing would please me more to find out WvW was getting the same reward track system as spvp. I, and I’m sure some players would never set foot into a spvp match again if this happened.
I know this doesn’t relate directly to your concern, but thought I would address it anyhow in hopes Anet someday adds this reward system to WvW. In other words, I’m here for the loot and could careless how the match moves forward in this type of gamemode.
