I’m sure that new players to PVP wouldn’t notice a problem, but what happened to having different classes performing different skills and having to work together to fight a match? Now its worse then before HoT. You have Hunter Warriors, Hunter Guardians, which as a hunter is personally insulting. Now you have traps around everywhere and you made these classes so strong that no one tries to work together half the time because there is no need. GW2 screwed up PVP making everyone all things. Used to be a warrior was the real power in a group and each class had a different job to do. Guess its time to hand the torch to the Warrior Mesmers.
Actually take your pick pretty much any class can be a “Warrior” with no fear. You really get a sense of it if you are on a team with players who don’t have the new talents. I just had one of those matches and it is ridiculous everyone oneshotting the what I assume are new players with all these overpowered abilities that have no place in mixed PVP. Even the ranking is going to be screwed when the new business starts because the playing field is so screwed up between the talents and lvls that its just a matter of who gets the new talented people on their team that decides the win. Not PVP anymore just a who’s the biggest bully fest. Very disappointing.
The big issue is not letting people leave when they join a match and if they do then they may not enter another match for 15 minutes. Right now there is no consequence for players who don’t stick it out even if your losing. The auto balance is just a punishment for someone who is playing on the winning team. It just happened to me in a match and then still you had ship jumpers and I was left completely disappointed. Why make people who put in the effort on their team switch to a team that didn’t stay together. I feel bad for those who get caught on that team who are trying still to put out the effort but auto balance just penalizes the other team.
I would say the best remedy for jumpers is the 15 minute time out. Fine leave the game but you may not enter again in another as you please.
As far as the spectator I see no issue, but choosing where they join the team is clear, they should only be able to join the team that is already down points since that is the most likely to lose a player to jumping. After 2 days of trying I have yet to get a even match. They have been 3v4 or 3v5 or 4v5 If you sit and try to say that extra player doesn’t matter you would be very mistaken in most matches it determines the win. There are the exceptions of course but not enough to mention.
I have to admit anyone taking all of your life in a one shot type of scenario is going to make you suspect. I have been there, mainly with assassins they hit me for all but 1200 I think it was, of almost 19000. So I even thought something very unusual was up. I had to decide that it was cheating of some sort or the assassins are way over where they should be. I opted for overpowered. Reporting someone for hacking is not verbal abuse. trying to bug you after the report is. Unfortunately people love to use the reporting system as a get even kind of thing but that is why they should be reviewing the report and do fact finding. If you have done nothing wrong then it should show. After a good match one of the players reported me for an inappropriate name so they made me change it. So no they don’t always treat reports with sense but I have faith that they usually do. My name I had to change was Gotta Pee Man and was hardly inappropriate. I also had it a long time with no issue. Be careful of not becoming the very thing you are complaining about.
