Really? If you do not have 10 minutes to spend in a RA game, then maybe you should not be entering RA in the first place?

Rather than you finding out yourself what the system was, you made an assumption and acted upon it. Maybe instead of pointing the finger at others, to spoon feed you, you should not just jump to a conclusion before you know the facts.

/not signed - I am so pleased that people who feel they have a right to spoil others enjoyment get this - I just wish it was more severe.

Dishonor is pretty lame, but is a necessary evil. While leaving for legit reasons (such as a warrior with meteor shower or a monk with mending and heal other) is now impossible, mass leaving to get the perfect team is also impossible. It made Random Arenas random again, and has nearly eliminated leavers. Thank god...

If you don't like it, learn to sync... seriously, all the good players sync.

his main point was that people don't know how to resign and when they should resign...to save time ofc. who wants a 3 monk team in RA?

Well it depends on what you're up against I guess, and if those monks and the other person are any good. Throw in a fire ele with those 3 monks, and if they're all skilled it'd be like fighting a brick wall with a flame thrower mounted on it.

I think the DH system was a great idea, it doesn't work right all of the time but nothing is flawless. I figure most of the people that whine about it are the little turds that QQ and leave when their's no monk on their team... Or there's four monks... Oh noes random arena is being random!!!11

hahahahaha

Sorry just too funny. Personally, I feel that Dishonorable is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The fact that you're here bitching about it tells me that you must have just encountered it, and not for the first time from the sounds of things. Meaning you either leave a lot or leech a lot, thus I have to pity for you. Cry elsewhere.

Whisper Evenstar · May 15, 2008, 01:52 PM // 13:52

um, thats the nature of RA and AB... either play, or be dishonored and leave.... i think it works great

And Dishonorable isn't intended just for leechers.

Apparently it's also intended for people in their first festival so that they get /reported whilst still downloading the rollerbeetle textures...

I really wanted to try that, too.

Give me a break. Who /reports someone for not loading into a rollerbeetle race? There are no teams, it's every man for themselves. Hell, most people would be happy if you didn't load.

Dishonorable was a good idea. I'm not sure if anyone remembers how RA was before the system was implemented, but it was a complete mess. Every team would have a member leave in an attempt to find that perfect team to farm their glad points from.

yum · May 15, 2008, 04:28 PM // 16:28

zzz, JUST REMOVE GLAD POINTS FROM RA.

It solves everything.

Lord Natural · May 15, 2008, 04:31 PM // 16:31

/agree, but you won't get much sympathy from the riverside forum.

I cannot stand having retards on my team that do no damage at all, cant target correctly to save their lives, have 375 max health, no res sig....or skills from 4 lines.

Like I posted to the other guy: since you're so god**** 1337 that you just get the vapors whenever a nub trying to learn or a build tester shows up, GTFO of RA and get back to maintaining your awesome /rank and GvG status.

Oh... right.... if you had either of those things to do you wouldn't be whining in RA...

Same goes for you.

And I fixed that one for you! I'm good at this!

Argentino · May 15, 2008, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Dishonorable is one of the best innovations implemented by Anet!

As i only play ab, not other types of pvp, i only speak for that part.
There is no excuse for leaving an Alliance Battle. The team counts on each member to do its duty. Anet should make Dishonorable more powerful. If some1 leaves the fight they should get a pvp ban for 1 day, not just 5 minutes...

I know lots of u won't agree, but if u go into ab and u have a leaver each time ... u will agree...

It's called RANDOM Arenas for a reason.

To put it rudely, they don't want to play. They want the damm GLAD POINTS, but too sucky to play in TA.

Just remove glad points from RA. Factions is gud enuf.

A more amusing reading of the comment is that he's implying that he sucks at PvP and his very presence on a TA team would make it a de facto "not decent" team.

Clarissa F · May 15, 2008, 11:32 PM // 23:32

If you play TA, Peddler, why are you crying so much about RA?

Face it, as was mentioned before, there are two reasons people bitch about dishonorable in RA: they can't wait the 3-10 MINUTES to get another team, or they farm glad in RA and want it to be as easy as possible for them. These are the same people who, in PvE, love the idea of a win button like Ursan.

Once again, if you don't play RA, you don't have a reason to bitch about RA. So throw that retarded "QQ QQ QQ QQ about RA....Oh, I play TA, silly" stuff out the window.

I see a 4:1 ratio for Dishonorable. At least. That isn't give-and-take discourse. How about a lock on this puppy?

sorry could not resist...

Actually, any skills tied with titles would fit the bill
