Guild Wars 2

For example, if there is some AFK player, or DC player, the opposing team has the opportunity to volunteer to “sit” the match, getting a bonus or something for doing it.

This would balance out the problem of afkers or people that DC/ragequit.

(this would also require an afk checking system)

I doubt this would work unless someone is randomly chosen for “sitting”. Most teams would rather take the much higher win chances than whatever tiny bonus Anet would give.

If the afk checking system worked we wouldnt need this, itd boot the player and the losing team wont lose rating, the afker gets nothing. Vanilla WoW had a working afk system already.

Then in addition to the already existing problem of people being payed to throw matches, you’ll have people being payed to flat out DC.

The solution is actual punishment toward players who abuse the game. Anyone can run around throwing matches with literally zero punishment. It’s absurd that Anet is so incompetent with this issue. I’m more likely to be banned permanently from the forums for calling out their kitten than someone is for throwing a few dozen matches and being reported for it.
