afkers
I had guys who went afk before the game even started.
Yes please, but what I see is they don’t go totally afk because if they do and it kicks them out then they get dishonored points, what Anet must do is if they just stand around in the starting cage thingy for more than lets say 10 secs it should warn and after that kick because they just stand their and tell us how bad we are while were the ones trying to actually win a 4v5 then
When 9out10 games is lose to unbalanced matchups, then yes, I also cannot be bothered to stand there getting ganked repeatedly.
Every game, I try, if it’s a loss or unbalanced, I give up. I’m not there to be a free kill, I join because I stupidly think PvP is ‘balanced’ and find out the hard way it’s not and end up afk’ing bored because you cannot exit.

This is the problem, it shouldn’t be encouraged to go afk just because you feel it is “unbalanced” might as well not queue to be honest. I understand if it is 4v5 and you are missing one person.
Under your logic is it ok if I just look at the enemy team and after losing 1 team fight go afk because I deem it as a “loss” or their comp is apparently OP?
I get afk’ers when my team is ahead in points with a double cap =’(

Hate this mentality.
Are you in pvp to fight and force your enemy to respect what you can do? Or just to get the pat on the butt for winning one match? If only to win please don’t queue at all.
A game has ten players, one deciding to go afk ruins any chance for the game to become an enjoyable experience for the other nine. Non-participants make people stop enjoying/playing pvp altogether. Especially if they decide to ruin team chat while standing around. At least have the common courtesy to just kitten off entirely. Still annoying but might make the match not affect mmr/ladder.
Cannot fathom the arrogance of feeling justified in ruining the game because someone perceives the matchup to be: not sufficiently balanced/not enough fun/already lost with 300 points to go. And then blaming the other players or the game devs.
But this might be like preaching to the choir. Can’t a player count as if not present (left the game) when inactive for over a minute? (Something that isn’t fooled by putting the self heal on auto-cast.) They often hide in an obscure corner of the map. Ater baiting in chat or stating something like hotjoin team/gg/good luck.
Assuming there is any sort of penalty for leaving the game. Wiki says dishonor isn’t active. Or, if possible, add a report option with a low chance of abuse.
The easy fix for this would be if they could make it so that you can leave a match and not get kicked back into it when you try to log back in. The other day one of the objectives was daily defense and twice in a row some troll picked “Courtyard,” which meant I couldn’t log back into the game for like ten minutes each time or it would just kick me back into that Courtyard map.

Didn’t know you get kicked back in if you leave. That explains all the afking. Still prefer people joining the uphill battle though. Being outnumbered all the time sucks.
Still wonder if afking is reportable conduct.
Just implement underdog rewards for continuing to gain points in the event of an incoming game wipe (200 point discrepancy before halftime), with rewards becoming progressively better the better you do (with prime rewards at winning the match.)
Insert algorithms to determine which matches fit this criteria here.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

It’s specified in the TOS that it IS reportable conduct.
