Guild Wars 2

dear anet, please please please do something bout the 5 vs 4 in solo arenas.ive been in literally more than 10 5 vs 4 matchups in less than 5hours. that’s around 2 games an hour and the most u can play in an hour is 4 so that’s 50-50 ratio! its not that the player(s) quit.they werent even there when the match started. im sorry but it is very very very annoying.its a waste of time.if u cant do anything bout it then i really suggest u make solo arenas quittable/leavable if the maximum numbers of players are not met.i believe its better to play with players who would quit rather than with players who are not even there.thank you.

I would like to side with this. It is SO frustrating to start a game knowing that there is pretty much no chance whatsoever that this will NOT end in a total disaster. Additionally, there’s a lot of people who will quit the game or afk upon seeing that their time is behind 100 points. Especially on maps like Temple I’ve seen more than one crazy comeback with tranquility&stillness.
I do realize that some people might actually have disconnects but there has to be some way that this does not affect the entire team. Give us a buff, make the game not count statswise for the losing team except for the quitter. Take away some of his glory, reduce his rank, kill his cat whatever…
But PLEASE address this issue.

+1.

I’m afraid to go back into solo q. it feels like at least half my games are like this. this is WAY too common a problem. Why does it feel like things aren’t properly thought through?

I have 4v5 matches every day. Every single match I stare at the B menu with dread that someone is gonna quit. People usually quit within 30 seconds of the start of the match. I just came out of a match where the enemy team STARTED with 4 players.

How hard is it to just refill the spot with someone from the queue? Leaderboards might be a concern, but maybe just give them the option to decline to join a match in progress.

Anet, seriously.

…kill his cat whatever…

Mew?

I’ve definitely been noticing more 4v5s lately. Not sure what’s going on, but that’s why I created my thread on the queue.

Definitely lost 3 games in one day due to 4v5s. Such a waste of everyone’s time.

yes please, do something about that
