eh, I'd rather get farmed by 5 stacks occasionally instead of having the insane amount of afks. at least I can play those games. but hey, back when we could Q as a team I actually utilised it so if I would face a 5 stacks it would be with one of my own.
pop is so low right now, I can literally get the same players in 5 matches in a row and they just afk. seems like there are only 100 active players at a time, and I can see why.
as far as rating goes, who cares? I'd just rather not play 3 games in a row with the same dragonhunter who just rages and goes afk. at that point why even Q up? he's deciding all the matches, no reason to even play. honestly, I wish I was being hyperbolic but at least half of the games in my last few duo sessions have been decided by afk baby rage. how are me and my duo even supposed to maintain the will to log on if half of the games are just already fixed because anet won't ban anyone, and also won't let me not play with the afk babies.
like, let's be real. competitive gw2 PvP is done. it's over. remove ranks, who cares. just have tournament gizmo, or not. as I said who cares, not me. I just want to not have to deal with toxic afk players, nothing else. I just want to you know, play the game and if anet won't moderate I can't see any option apart from selecting a team of non-baby players.
