Guild Wars 2

I decided to create this topic as there is a new trend within GW2 community which is basically opponents whom you have recently beaten in fight are denying you badges by closing the game client using alt-F4 shortcut while in downed state.
Now, as small scale skirmishes are the most successful way of getting your commendations and you are rewarded far more often then when you are running with zerg of players.
This leads to a situation in which my average badges income suffers by quite a lot. Recently it gets even worse as 8 out of 10 opponents will use this way of denying your badges.

My question is:
Is there anything that can be done to prevent this kind of practice or is A-Net already working to put appropriate mechanism is place?

I’d say you need to transfer to a top tier Wv3 realm. I know on SBI the queue is a significant deterrent to closing the client and leaving Wv3 entirely.

Perhaps a deserter buff for 30min would work; but then maybe not. IDK.. seems it’s my job to deny you badges however I can, especially when it’s 4-10 vs 1.

Honestly I have never used this method. If I get killed, it’s just another facet of the game… and typically I play so badly- I deserve whatever comes. (And I know my ‘rank’ is so poor opps are kitten lucky to get any badges all from killing me)

In short I’d say debuff them and deny them the ability to rejoin Wv3 for 30min or more.

NOTE: I have noticed that if I queue for another Wv3 borderland that I can transfer…even if I’m in combat or dying. I can transfer dead and the ‘tutor’ npc will rez me. I’m not saying that folks are quitting the game entire, but there are other ways to avoid being staked.
