Guild Wars 2

Approximately 0% of players will continue a hotjoin in place of accepting a queue pop, so it wouldn’t affect unranked/ranked attendance. As for hotjoin attendance…does it really matter if there is a leaver in hotjoin? They could (and often do) leave anyways, whether or not for arenas.

As it is currently, the only option we have while queuing is to alt-tab out of the game and do something else. We’re being encouraged to not play the game. Is that the message that ArenaNet wants to send out?

I agree, also the other issue that is a problem for me is that even when you have switched to a different window (or walked away for a minute), when the timer pops up with the check box – the external battle call sound that you hear, sounds a couple seconds after the pop up giving you even less time to get your hand on the mouse and check the box. If I’m halfway across the room, I sometimes miss the timer and have to queue again.

Or at least maybe put some crafting stations at HotM so we can at least be doing something productive while waiting for the queue.
