Guild Wars 2

Players are often spending LARGE portions of the match Akitten solo queue while returning to the keyboard for a few minutes to circumvent the 3 min kick timer.

Either the timer for an AFK kick needs to be decreased to 30 seconds or ANET needs to implement a vote kick feature.

Should never be anyone beginning a pvp match AFK to begin with. I don’t get why the ‘I am ready!’ button is inside the pvp lobby when it is much more important to have it in the open world especially for SoloQ.

It would be so much better if say people queued for SoloQ and when it popped all you get a message saying something like ‘PVP game found! Click ready to begin!’ and that message stayed on the screen for say 30 seconds. After everyone clicks then you enter in the game and it begins in 15 seconds or so. If even one person does not click the ready message then it should throw everyone back into the Q to begin the process again. This is so much better then starting games with people who are AFK or people who do not join at all. There should be safeguards/checks in place to prevent this AFK or 4 v 5 situation to begin with and having a ready button outside the pvp lobby streamlines this process.

SoloQ should be the type of games that once everyone enters they are ready to go – no need for character switching just give a short time once everyone is in before the game starts to discuss strategies. If they get it right before the game even starts then there should be no need for a AFK kick.
