Default Dishonorable - Worst Idea Ever

99% of everyone effected by this are NOT leechers.

RA - People leave games because too many teams in RA are 2-3monk teams with no damage dealers and too many people playing do not have the IQ required to type /resign.

So you are stuck because if you leave you become Dishonorable.

AB - Simply, half the teams usually consist of idiots who try to 1v1 people or people with terrible builds.

Tweak it or just simply remove it.

It's doing more harm then good.

Part of the point of Dishonorable is to keep people from abandoning teams for these very reasons as well.

Some players in the community enjoy PvP'ing even if the random teams aren't the most desirable outcome. Your abandoning hinders these peoples' gaming experience since they have to, then, play with a three party team.

You know it's random, so you accept the chance of a shitty outcome when you join.


As for AB, people have a right to try out builds. A lot of people are learning how to PvP. Failing is a part of the learning process. Instead of leaving, you should make respectful suggestions to help people become better PvP'ers.

Abandoning people like this is not going to help the PvP community.

Dishonorable - Best Idea Ever


post script: I also get Dishonorable when I don't feel I deserved it, but I see less people bailing so it is doing more good than harm.

Please provide solid information or test results of where you got the 99% from.

And Dishonorable isn't intended just for leechers.

making this topic is the Worst Idea Ever.

In ab, your team can resign.
In ra, if you have a crappy team, either convince them to resign or play that one game and leave afterwards.

I'll tell you what's worse - getting Dishonorable when you leave as soon as everyone on your team's dead, in order to save a few seconds. Even worse are the people who report me when there's one member of our team who wants to run around for 7 minutes when he has admitted he has no res and the rest of us are dead - so I leave.

Whoever reports me when I do this, WHY DO YOU DO IT?!

Oh yes... because it's so harmful to have to play the damn game instead of endlessly quitting because things aren't EXACTLY how you want them..

People leaving RA was like an epidemic prior to the dishonor system. It does it's job well and if you really need to leave you don't get dishonor unless you've done it repeatedly and even if you do 10 minutes isn't going to kill you. Cry more pls.

It was a dumb system to begin with. But why did they implement it? Because people QQ'ed about RA leavers. You pretty much have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

I won 4 matches in RA the other day with four healer monks, we won by wanding everything to death (seriously) so not always is it a good idea to resign purely because you dont like how the team looks.

I also like the dishonourable system

so not signed

Well, I guess it's supposed to keep you there the few minutes it will take to finish the RA-game, or whatever you were playing. It's not working, but it's not bad either.

I never had dishonorable for me. Actually I didn't know it exsists till a former allymate started complaining about it 2 weeks ago.

We spend hours trading.
More hours farming.
A lot of hours forming groups PvE/PvP whatever.
And probably the most time posting/chatting nonsenseon guru in local or guild/ally chat.

But when it comes to RA all of a sudden everybody is in a hurry. Can't you just wait those 5 minutes till the round is over without spoiling it for the rest of your team?

Everyone seems to be missing the point, I leave when my team has 2-3 monks and no one on the team can do damage.

That is a waste of time.

No i'm not going to stay 8 minutes just so both teams die in a draw.
