Guild Wars 2

Just witnessed it. Doesn’t bother me since I get a free win, but what’s the benefit?

You don’t have to play a frustrating match, I don’t do it but I have seen some matches where it could be justified. After all you play to have fun.

Were you in my game? I was on the team that made the comeback when our mesmer came back while the other guys were under 100 points from winning a Foefire.

Honestly, even if unranked is a bit more casual you at least need to play a little bit more competitively than ‘honoring’ the other team out of pity and letting a 4v4 happen.

That will cost ya.

I was not clear in my initial post: The other team completely threw the match. They stood around and let my team win. It was a guild team, they all had the same tag. What do they get out of it?

Less playing time on a losing/unfun match? More time communicating and socialising == having fun? More fun matches?

These guys were clearly better than us. They could have won. They threw the match almost immediately.

They could had thrown it cause one member was AFK?

They may had thrown it cause they just wanted to try some sort of new something?

They may have thrown it cause a few members were dealing with guild issues?

Personally, there too many possibilities here. Yet, I have noticed in solo queuing that it MMR seems to be affecting matches even in Unranked. Not sure why… but it just seems it when looking at history of matches.

OK, it seems to be a mystery based on the responses so far. They appeared to have a full team and were better than us, so maybe they were just tanking MMR for next season

Depends on the map as well. I refuse to play skyhammer and spirit watch.

Sometimes I afk skyhammer matches, I happen to dislike two things about that map so much that they just make the whole thing unenjoyable, mostly depending on the class I’m playing. I still feel a little ashamed because it sucks for my team tho…

Fix the godkitten kittening jumpads already, make them launch you higher maybe with no falling damage, not interrupt your skills OR BLOCK YOUR MOVEMENT AFTER JUMPING, kitten they are annoying right now. And please fix the LOS bugs that make me waste every single shadowstep on thief, for example. And build a kittening staircase to the hammer, not even RO nostalgia makes me like spawn camping mechanic, also delete the platform on mid that serves no purpose other than enable cheesy fights, frustrate people with the jumpads and block the view of the very point you are fighting in.

Would still be a bad map but I wouldn’t afk it out of disgust.

Spirit watch is horrid too but at least you can usually deathmatch at mid as much as you like.
