So every other game out there with a matching queue system does not suck players into a match until they click a confirm box.
People do not want to watch a queue for five minutes and do nothing else so they will alt tab, attend to real life, get the pizza at the door, etc.
The ranked match should not vacuum players in and then saddle HALF OF RANKED SOLO Q MATCHES with someone afk and conversely kick a large amount of the player base for having a life beyond watching a 5 minute queu and hand out needless 3 day auto bans.
This is the worst queue system I’ve ever encountered in a game and the fix is simple:
IF THE PLAYER DOESN’T CLICK ‘JOIN MATCH’ HE OR SHE IS NOT FORCED INTO THE MATCH AND THE SYSTEM GOES TO THE NEXT PERSON IN THE QUEUE. NO HARM NO FOUL
Seriously ANET fix this ASAP.
