Guild Wars 2

If you do Solo Que, then you know there can be nothing more annoying than having that person who clicked to join Solo Que and then just went AFK or decided at that they were going to drop and go do a dungeon or WvW 30 seconds into the match.

These are rated matches, if people leave these matches the penalty should be severe! No one cares about a little 15 or 20 min dishonorable status, particularly now that the reward tracks are implemented, there is a lot of PvE players who just come and try to get the reward tracks, they don’t care about their stats, or leaving the match for that matter. Dishonorable status must provide more of an incentive to actually finish the match. Please increase the Dishonorable status duration to like 3 or 4 days for people who leave matches prematurely. If you join a rated match and leave prematurely, then you lose the ability to join rated matches for 3 or 4 days! I love the sound of that.

There also needs to be a report feature for match manipulation, on several occasions we have qued for TPvP with 4 people and decided to pug the 5th. We’ll go in and fight Example Guild, and oddly enough our 5th is a member of that Example Guild and will literally throw the match and make us do a 4 v 5 by running around in circles and laughing at us trolling the whole time.

Not a big issue and nothing will be done. The matter only affects 0.001% of the playerbase.

It’s already severe, if you leave 3 times in one day you get banned from structured PvP for 3 days.

What this guy said.
Also, the servers are claimed to have instability issues, I’ve disconnected once in the past week, but that was out of like 50 games.

I’m not sure if that’s counted to me being dishonorable and it’d be kittened up if you got dishonorables off of server instability causing you to dc out, which leads to you being unable to pvp.

If your losing games, the problem for sure isn’t people ragequitting, its the matchmaking. I’ve played 16 or 17 games 2 days ago, all of them legit. However I lost ALL 16 or 17 of them and the only reason there can be is that matchmaking system is terrible.

OR nobody playing PvP except really good players which causes me to lose all 16 or 17 of them.

I’d really like to believe theres a lot of people in GW2 playing PvP, but if I’m losing 16 or 17 games in a row… By sucking… Even though I have 3k tpvp games under my belt which means I’m pretty much a veteran. Thus, losing even though I have good standing and know what kitten to do, losing because other players are just far more dominate, than this game has no future because I’m sure the majority population that has zero games, or under 100 tpvp games played will likely perform worse than me, and if I cant win a game, they wont be able too either. Not with the population so small I’m pitted against superior players and/ or terrible matchmaking not giving me a breather and win a game for once.

If you think about bad internet connections and the game being unstable sometimes, that is easy to get.

The matchmaking is the real fun killer. It leeds people to quit or go afk.
It’s not enough to only use mmr for matchmaking. New players should be saved from playing with veterans and the regular player should be saved from playing against top players. To much difference.

Solution: Maybe brackets.

They try doing something like that in the cups. Can’t be wrong to try.

As others have said, the issue is that matchmaking is solo queue or horrible. Unless that is fixed, you will always have people leaving.

That said, I don’t know why anyone does solo queue. The rewards aren’t great, and you tend to run into a lot of people who think they are the best player in the game. Those people also tend to tell everyone how good they are while they are dead and waiting for the respawn timer.

The issue is the matchmaking yes. Way too volatile, meaning you can have anyone at any rank( let’s reasonably say that good active players will rotate between #100 and 90%).
However, people shouldn’t leave matchs in my opinion. Both teams are very poor sometimes, and it’s quite easy to come back even from a 150 points gap.

Random thoughts from a casual player about YoloQue:
Some day ago out of 10 matches there was at least one “afker” in ~5 matches. With the “excuse” that “My teammates are naabz, I’ll not play with them” (he couldn’t be speaking about me as it was my first game since months, so he could not know my naabishness), so he just ruined the other 9 player’s fun, or at least mine, as I couldn’t have fun regardless the fact that the afker was in my team or in the enemy.
(I’m playing YoloQue for fighting against players and not standing and waiting ’til the timer runs out..)

I can try to report him, but.. my time spent on waiting for a better match can’t be refunded. (Needless to say that as it was during “offtime”, we got the same players for match after match, so I just went to do something else for some hours hoping I can get better fights then.)

And rankings.. rank 14-15 (I still have some leftover glory booster! ), leaderboard ~500-600th (that day).. Somehow I don’t think that’s the spot I should be for the sake of my teammates who wanna get a competent sPvP player to play with and not me..

Xerrex had on his steam a comeback game on soloQ from 2xx:499 to 500:499. Some games are to remember. This is the reason I never quit
