Guild Wars 2

This has been an ongoing problem in hot join or solo queue. Basically the autobalance system doesn’t do its job. A bunch of people join a server, and then basically farm everyone who joins. When autobalance goes off, they switch to spectate to break it, and then rejoin. For those who say.. “it’s hot join” or some such blah, I say from Karate Kid: “One to one problem, yes. Five to one problem.. too much ask anyone.”

Yes, it’s hot join. That means the odds should be pretty even, more so than any other type of pvp. But not when people are grouping up, exploiting the system, and farming people. And yes, it’s farming now. There’s a reward track and it has some pretty decent loot boxes.

Here’s an example of how long ago this was first reported:

1 It’s not an exploit.
2 It’s Hot-join.
3 This does NOT happen in solo queue as there’s no autobalance so why mention?
4 Go in another server if ppl are ‘farming’ you, at most it’ll be a 1v2/2v3/3v4/4v5 so not sure what the ‘farm’ is.
5 It’s Hot-join
6 Yes it’s not fun that ppl in hot-join go into spectate mode to join the winning/one person more team.
