Despite this current season having some issues, I haven’t once complained. I hold no delusions regarding my own ability. Sometimes I play well, sometimes I play like a kittened dog. Regardless, I always do my best and play hard.

I just lost two matches, and precious mmr, because of one guy. He went afk in both matches. My team and opposition reported him from the second match. I have grave doubts, considering how often this is happening, that anything will come of those reports.

No matter your skill level, rating, division or whatever; all pvp’ers want is a fair matchup.

I really love playing pvp in GW2, but I’m asking myself how much longer I can continue supporting a game which shows such blatant disregard to quality for its playerbase.

It is extremely frustrating when you have afk players on your team. It should carry a much higher penalty especially if it’s obvious. If someone can’t be bothered to play in the match they queued up for, then they shouldn’t be able to play in the tournament at all. Plain and simple.

I couldn’t agree more. I am creeping ever closer to the school of thought GW2 pvp is broken

OP, such posts are not wanted on forums, fyi.

I care as much about what is wanted on the forums as Anet care about pvp. But thank you for the heads up.

Nothing, but that is what you will get in your message box probably.

The false narrative that sPvP is thriving and in a great spot that Anet is trying to get people to push.

One foot out the door, yet again.

I feel your pain OP, lost 2 games back to back. Because of this also. But then I’ve won matches because of this. Sadly this will always happen, some people believe they are better than they are, they don’t realise they are 20% of a team. Everyone needs to be good to win, and stop playing because they think everyone else is a noob.

The thing they seem to forget is that they have the same mmr or close too as the rest of there team. But then these players think they are ELS pro players.

Like you, I’ve been on the receiving of a win because of afk. It never feels good to win in such a way. I would much rather win fair & square by playing better.

I also had a couple afkers and trolls in low plat and it just sucks. You can report them all you want, ANet doesn’t punish them.

I strongly suspect that people are tanking placement matches. After all, the leader board considers only win ratio.

Why not tank into bronze, hoping for win streaks?

Yeah me too. Having your team out play the other is always the best way to win, even if it’s by one point. The close games are the best.

Take note of the score and the chat…. This is the quality of my games when I was in Gold and players were actually friendly and not salty.

I’ve seen some good gold games as well. Last couple of days though, even gold has had more than its share of salt. Sadly games were teammates aren’t bickering like pmsing frenemies are becoming fewer and fewer.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

I’m just wondering if there is a way to submit an official complaint to Anet. Something other than the dumb support ticket system?

Im sorry i havent PvP more but to give a heads up to everyone.

We qued together and one game we had 2druids, 1 DH. I was playing ele at mid and when anyone went down at mid i was the only person to rez. Having a druid in ranked should mean search and rescue or a DH F3 skill but all 3 would “f” button must of been broken.

Also when we had corners and Misscee was at home defending the druids and DH would run to mid and not help defend the cap point we already had.

We won the next game but It would be nice if Anet had some of the GW1 game replays because there is some issues with players across all tiers but those bronze matches stand out.

Thanks dude, totally not necessary, but much appreciated. My problem is not what division I am in or not in. I wholly blame Anet for pushing “competition” without any regard for sportsmanship or penalising kittenbaggery.

+1 for harsher penalties for afkers and people throwing in the towel after 30 secs.

There must be a way to penalise people who contribute close to nothing in a game.
Im no programmer but it can’t be that hard.
