Guild Wars 2

When is ArenaNet going to bring in a compensation system for players who took part in an event but lagged out and/or disconnected before the end and so lost their rewards?

What’s to stop people from abusing this, purposely lagging and/or disconnect themselves to gain free rewards.

there are always problems, but when it happens to people that never experience this at a critical moment with an event like tequatl, it can be very furiating… I was in teq yesterday and I would have gotten the reward, but for the first time ever I got a random dc… Let’s just say I’m not pleased… all I want is my achievement reward, the chest is of less importance to me, but all the time spent into trying to get in the main server in time, and waiting for the event to start, just to dc out of nowhere just before the end isn’t what I call fun… A way to compensate this is to let the server remember what server you were in and give you 60s with a reserved spot to get back in… they don’t need to go and give people free rewards, but at least make it so that if you DO dc and log back in, you don’t get thrown in an overflow…

I hear what you are saying but I don’t understand why anyone would lag themselves or dc just to get a reward they would get if they stayed playing normally…

I have seen in other games when a player dc’s or misses the reward due to lag it is later automatically sent to the player via the mail system, this can be done without worry of it being abused
