Guild Wars 2

So I was on World versus World today a noticed a exploit that’s getting annoying.

For this post I will use a example using PlayerA and PlayerB

NOTE: PlayerA and PlayerB are on separate server, And is enemies.

PlayerA and PlayerB are not in a Zerg, They are just running to a destination.

PlayerA and PlayerB bumps into each other and starts fighting.

PlayerA Downs PlayerB, And in the middle of PlayerA Channeling to “Finish Him”
PlayerB Vanishes.

NOTE: PlayerB Does not use a Skill to Vanish. PlayerB Decided to “Log Out” or “Alt + F4” Because he was Downed, and Did not want PlayerA To get credit.

I seen this happen several Time tonight and was hoping if there is some sort of fix under way.

Sadly, I don’t see how this can be prevented. You cannot stop the other person from killing the GW2 client process and terminating their connection to the server. It’s very easy to set up a batch file to this end as well. If armour repair costs were removed from WvW, which is probably why this nefarious technique is used, then we would probably see it done a lot less.

I would propose a way so if a player DOES lose connection in WvW… the server checks if the player is in combat… if true then.. the connection may be loss… but keep the presence of the player there until player is removed from combat

EDIT: But I do agree that Repair costs in WvW should be removed.

Just to let you know, if you log out whilst in the downstate you will be dead when you log back in

Repair cost is not a lot. 1,5 silver max for 80 lvl char.
And when you log out when downed you spawn dead in Lion Arch(one time i really lose connection when in WvW) so you have to still pay repair costs.

The only reason the do it is because you defeated their “glorious myself”. They are elementary school jerks(mentally at least) and will log off even if there will be no repair cost. Thankfully it only happened to me once.

Thats really good to know… But the fact remains that PlayerA Doesn’t get Credit when he should had… especially if the player is dead anyways from logging out.
