GigaChad Joe.7094 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Question about the Dishonour System in SPVP, Why is it that someone can be afk within SPVP ranked matches specifically, receive minimal consequence (someone within my last match bragged about never getting banned) but then someone has to intentionally "cop one for the team" and leave the match so no match points are deducted from everyone suffering from the individual AFKING under everyone's nose typing, standing in starting area, and laughing at the match because they don't want to participate. And receive little to no reason for remorse for such action. But one of the team mates who is involved takes a stand and leaves the match for everyone else's sake. I mean what?! am I missing something.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotejjeken.1267 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Had this yesterday, but it was two players from a previous game fighting. One said the other was 'bad' and so they AFK'd 90% of the game; I just reported for idling and moved on with the -15 rank loss. It's crazy, because I did ask them to leave if they were going to AFK anyway and they told me no, the other person must lose points. So, they intentionally threw based on something 3/5 of us had no clue about. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khalisto.5780 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 cuz when ppl dc or leave match for 90 secs the system or computer or whatever you wanna call it will execute the command to just -rating that person and no other person, if the player is afk base it would need somebody to look at to actually punish the player. i believe at some point in 2020 they removed the feature that would kick the player after 90 secs of "COMPLETELY" afk base, but this would super rarely happen, 99% of afker are there, and a chat message would pop "after x time with no action you will be kicked" and ppl would just press any button to reset the count and never get kicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magickthief.6492 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 how hard can they punish afk'ers, when the players that wintraded the very first MAT, amongst other things, are still in the game. they literally, didn't get anything but a short time dishonor. probably need to worry about the legality, if someone wanted to take it that far, anet would lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they will go back to base and totally berate the team whilst not contributing, laugh mocking etc. And in the end they wont even get punished because they were every so often pressing a button on their keyboard. Absolutely insane experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the punishment or integration, has to be better than that I would imagine. AKA the current state of SPVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely insane experience! Yup, in NA there's a specific dragonhunter, the "L" dragonhunter, if you look he's just a harmless boy, be he'll afk once he gets behind in the game. He's already on his third account, he brags to have another 40 something account to keep afking matches he doesn't win from start. Yesterday he afk a match while we're winning, cuz team got wiped twice, we still won, not thanks to him tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
