Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,
has it ever happened to you that players that are joining your squad through an LFG post or maybe in WvW and they turn out as a troll or aren’t happy with your decision to kick them? Here’s a scenario that has occurred quite often for me now:
Because I mostly play raids, I have the most experience with raid LFG. Posts on the raid LFG are quite specific, as sometimes the desired classes, build and player experience combination can be pretty limiting. So it happened a few times now that people join, it turns out that they don’t meet the requirements in any kind or are unfriendly etc. and it leads to a kick. This person would then join the group again through the LFG again and again. This is especially annoying when the group is 9/10 and this player is blocking the raid squad completely to finish forming up and start playing the raid. It’s no rarity these days that this happens and like this I had to cancel my squad 3 times already.

Could we maybe get a possibility to temporarily inhibit players to rejoin squads like this, maybe for a short time period like 2-5 minutes? A suggestion would be that the commander has to type the Character name of the player.

In advance I want to point out that this is not meant to discriminate players or something like that. And I don’t know yet how you could make this feature abuse-proof (maybe use this feature on the same player only once per [time period]). It’s just a desire of mine to not waste hours of valuable playtime because one random unhappy person blocks 9 others from playing the beautiful game. Maybe there’s use for this in wvw too when you think of a spy and such.

My bad experiences made me leave this suggestion, maybe other people had similar experiences and maybe we can find a solution together? If this post turns out to offend someone I’m happy to remove it from the thread (if that’s possible; or have it removed)

Have a good day and lots of fun playing!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say that I just got to the point that I could say I can clear most raid bosses as a Mesmer and I was pretty hyped about it and had great fun. Seeing this post now is making me feel pretty diminished in these regards. I sincerely hope they’re laughing in their offices knowing they’re going to split skill mechanics into the three game types, but I doubt that this time.
I feel like this update could hurt the PvE game type by a fair amount, especially raids. It’s going to make it harder for groups of random players to keep up boons and in general harder to complete bosses. People will become frustrated and leave it behind, which imo is not what everyone is looking for.
Also, I don’t get the point in increasing mesmer’s personal damage as commander’s gear will probably necessary to wear.

I just hope they have a great solution in their lockers. I think they did a great job with the last updates, everything was reasonable. For wvw it’s totally reasonable too, but in PvE it’s not going to be enjoyable. And I would rather not get pushed into playing something different.
