Guild Wars 2

So I was playing ranked with a friend, who got a lag spike and then disconnected. He was gone for the rest of the match, which turned the match into a 4v5 and caused us to lose the match.

Well, kitten happens, at least we didn’t lose any points, right? Wrong. I did.

I whispered my PuG team mates to ask if they lost points as well, they reported that they didn’t. None of them lost points, except for me.

Is this a bug, or by design?

If this is by design… why? Why do I get punished for my partner DCing? It’s not like I can help it that he DCed?

It’s by design so you can’t duo and get your friend to ‘disconnect’ every time you look like you might lose.
