I noticed since coming back to the game, some people are skipping the downed state and death timer penalty when they are about to die by leaving the game. People with fast load times, people who have the game uploaded on an SSD that is also their main drive can load really fast.

I don’t know what can be done to prevent this since people who disconnect shouldn’t be penalized. But it is very annoying to see the same players repeatedly abusing this tactic.

I do it sometimes to change characters when I die, when I see that a certain comp is going to wreck my build.

That’s a lot of effort for something so insignificant. I wouldn’t mind if someone wanted to try that hard to save a few seconds.

Well if you put GW2 on an SSD with a fast computer you could prob have instant loads meaning you skip 20-30 seconds of downtime. That is HUGE.

Ill just confirm that the downtime is enough to; relog and charge back into a teamfight instead of sitting there waiting for someone to come stomp you.
