Guild Wars 2

Last few days I have been intensively playing tournaments and I notice the big amount of leavers before and during the game. Even when the team was winning people keep leaving.
There should be a penalty for this or some kind of punishment atleast.
I saw a developper post once about adding this. So I wonder is there any ETA?

as usual for fix stuff the best answer is:

soon

It’s what you get with increase to population, you get increase to the tools in that population as well.
The crowd who are there just for their daily, don’t stick it out if they aren’t winning, they tend to bail to “greener patures”…while this is ok in hotjoins, it really screws with tournaments. I think if the ability to complete the dailies was removed from tournaments and made hotjoin exclusive, much of that would disappear.

The problem is that there is already a shortage of tournament players which is probably a big motivation for introducing it in the first place – to attract more players. So removing the dailies from tourneys would have a negative impact on the number of people playing them.
