Guild Wars 2

Just yesterday I had someone in my tournament team who went leeching and made us loose 2nd round.

That’s a L2Play issue Sirendor, anyone out of hotjoin has been taught to stand on node and 5 cap it, it’s like they think they cap faster or something.

Ultimately that gets resolved after the person realizes he gets more fun actually getting past round one.

I’m not entirely convinced the 4v5 in tournaments are ragequitters issues though. Sometimes i’m whispering the guy who didn’t join ( not offline) and he says that he doesn’t have a tournament window..

It happens so many times that i can’t believe it’s all ragequits ( whether it’s before the match starts or not )

I agree, but even if it is out of stupidity, they should put a harsh example by kicking those players from PvP for a while.

@Sirendor.
Punishing people like this would decrease sPVP population not increase it…

I’m happy you people care about sPVP but you’re being overzealous…

Instead of ostracizing these people you should instead take the time out to help them out, send a friendly tell explaining that tpvp is team based and he’s only hurting himself by hurting the team, instead of NOOBS LOL L2PLAY GETOUT

Instead of systems punishing people, we need systems which foster the PVP population , maybe mentorships which increase glory gain for higher ranked players.

If you’re not interested in helping new players don’t aggravate the situation.
Want to hardcore tpvp? I suggest you find a team, Pugging is just going to aggrevate you.

ive never had that issue. Every time I message the 5th they are offline. So they queued then said screw it due to wait time and logged off before they got a pop, or they joined the game before I did, saw the other team was a premade and logged off.

part of the issue seems to be if someone logs off while in queue they stay on the roster.

I was halfway through a match today.. and I spilt a can of cola on my keyboard. I freaked out and went to clean it up, by the time I get back I have 4 angry whispers from people calling me the most horrendous and creative names imaginable lol.

Ya, thats unfortunate swiftpaw, but those of us who solo Q alot, i’m almost done with solo Quing, because im so frustrated dealing with afkers/quitters.

I think the OP was mentioning more about the fact that he’s sick of AFK’s.

It’s perfectly understandable that some times RL things happen and you need to step away for a few minutes…and that’s what the timer for AFK kick should be …a few minutes. If you can’t make it back from your RL engagement in a few minutes, the TEAM should not be penalized, it is YOU that should be penalized, regardless of what your RL issue is/was. You are NOT a special snowflake.

As for people that outright quit a tourney, they definitely need a 15 minute lock out of Tourney play.

Again, for tourneys, I’d suggest having the tournament not begin until all 64 players have accepted. It wouldn’t be hard to have the tournament system wait until all 64 players accept the tourney; if only 61 respond, their spots can be filled by others.

I also see no problem with an afk penalty, and that would be effective for hotjoins. The only thing worse than playing in a 5v6 hotjoin is playing a 5v6 hotjoin where two of your teammates are sitting in spawn. 5v6 is manageable; 3v6 is frustrating. It’s no wonder the PvP playerbase isn’t growing—everyone who tries it has a very frustrating experience at least once in their first 2-3 games.

I wasn’t talking about kicking new players. They just shouldn’t allow one player to ruin all of it. I don’t see why anyone would stand at the WP and do nothing for a whole match, so that’s pretty much leeching and not really innocent.
