Guild Wars 2

I don’t play spvp all the time, I usually play a while then go to wvw then come back. Every time I come back to spvp, hotjoins are more foul than they were when I left. These days, almost every hotjoin I join has multiple people talking kitten and cussing each other out. It’s like being back in league of legends a couple years ago.

Why does this community keep getting more and more toxic? Is it because it’s shrinking and these people are the ones that are staying? Are people bored of the gameplay itself so they’re looking for entertainment somewhere else?

I don’t know what it is causing it, but the hotjoin community has completely gone to kitten.

Hotjoins are an issue, they really should be removed.
lets create 1 spvp community.

I find hot joins are normally full of people from WvW who have ego issues and becuase they can’t talk to the enemy in WvW they think its fine to talk trash in hot joins.

Luckly tpvp isnt the same, personally I think hot joins should be removed.

Ah, I came from WvW to sPvP, though I think it was under different premises than the verbally vile. I knew I sucked at 1v1/small group fights, so I headed to HotM to get better at it.

That said, I’ve had the same experience you’ve had. I’ve been flamed by my own teammates plenty of times even. And for kitten’s sake, I’m in hotjoin because I know I suck, not because I want someone else to tell me that :P

They’re all people who were downed one-too many times and got irate or lost too many times and couldn’t fault themselves.

Hotjoin is the reason behind all the thief complaints
