Guild Wars 2

Situation is this: Ranked or Unranked match is starting. Map has been selected, players are waiting for the game to begin. Clock is counting down to start the match, but one or more players are not present for some reason. This happens alot! Far too much, so…

If they don’t come back by the time the match is supposed to start then abort the match! Declare an instant draw and give all remaining players reward tier points (200-500) as compnesation for their wasted time.

Something that could very easily be abused.

Why give that many points or any points at all? Just have it so that the game ends instantly. Better yet, don’t show the name of the opposing team’s players until after the match starts (do show the class). This way, nobody will feel compelled to leave if they recognize any players that they don’t want to play against in particular.

Do you think it happens often? Since december I had maybe five 4v5 from the beginning in total, and I played a lot.

I rather have it abused than play with 4v5.

And yet if one thinks more of the game as a whole rather than just selfish desires any way to abuse something is bad.

Well otherwise just instant-lose the team with only 4, faster and much less frustrating if it ends instantly. I mean its obvious the team of 5 is going to win, its no fun at all for the 4.

Something has to be done about this. I gave a suggestion, its up to Anet to solve this problem. It cannot be left as it is.

Or don’t start the game and find a replacement before the game starts. If someone leaves during the game, tough kitten, deal with it.

Uh, find a replacement? This isn’t a premade team, its solo-queue. How do you find a replacement exactly? Not possible.

Whoa, did you actually suggest giving instant reward points for a player leaving? You do realize that matchmaking would probably turn into a bunch of kids yelling at someone to leave so everyone else can get easy free points right?

Sigh, people who don’t think their ideas through… smh

Why would it be not possible? The game could just put everyone back in queue but leave everyone in the map. Nothing not possible about it.
