How would you suggest they handle it then? How are they supposed to tell people who leave a game to avoid losing from those who dc?

This isn’t something new. Games in 1998 were doing the same. I know, because I had computer overheating issues and I was disco’d quite a lot. And, there was the time I got so excited playing a SC match that I kicked the restart button.
As mentioned previously, it’s not possible for us to detect accidental from intentional disconnects. If we want to reduce the number of players who disconnect to avoid a loss — and I believe that for the good for the game as a whole we do want to reduce the number — then I can’t see any way around this. Sorry!

i <3 you gaile you make me smile…i remember when we used to stand in kamadan in gw 1 together…was good times
You need to fix this issue.. I dc twice and now i’m not allowed to PVP for 8 hours….THANKS ANET appreciate that one…really warms my heart to know that i get punished as a quitter because of internet issues.. I’d assume you won’t do anything about this also? THANKS ANET.
Do you seriously think THAT attitude will result in anyone WANTING to help you? I get your venting, but try to get it in your head that the entire game does not revolve around YOU.
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
Most all ANet employees do such a great job of being patient with people who have no patience with ANet. I enjoy their occasional subtle sarcasm comebacks too though.
I DC multiple times per day. There’s nothing I can do about it, it’s just because I don’t get great connection in this area. HOWEVER, I’ve also felt the pain brought on by even just 1 person disconnecting as the rest of their teams sits there in defeat, some just leaving to go afk. 1 dc = 9
While I wouldn’t be surprised to get hit by dishonor due to a dc, I 100% support this.
