This is hilarious. Why the RED GO ENGINED GO ENGINE can't we leave if we know for sure we can't win, and HAVE TO stay there for other teams to kill instead of leaving. It isn't a waste of time, is it ? And how can you say "ruining other people good time" in those ones ? Besides that, never talk about "/resign" in RA because it seems no one ever uses it. I have ever seen any team resign in RA (both sides), and many times one in team resign and tell others to do, they still keep running around or wamo tanking and waste a lot of time.

Here’s the difference.

People like me, who are “QQing” about leavers, just like to hop into RA to play for a bit, and want to play for playing’s sake. Do you know of this concept? Anyway, we have accepted the “randomness.”

People who are “QQing” about lame builds, noob players, no monks, too many monks, no “guarantee” of winning, and then leaving … you have not accepted the randomness, unless it benefits you when there are lame builds on the opposite side for you to exploit. You are attempting to circumvent the nature of RA, by turning it into your personal TA. Only instead of taking the time to form the team you want, you keep pulling the lever on the slot machine, wasting even more time, waiting for the perfect match. And, making your (ex)teammates grumpy in the process.

See the difference now?

We can all see, that you wish to form a TA team in Random, in order to smash an RA team over the head in Random. I don’t know why some of you cannot see how lame that is.

I’ll reiterate, I wish they take the glad points rewards out of RA. RA is supposed to be casual, it’s supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be random, it’s not supposed to be all business.

A small time penalty (5 mins or so) for one who leaves within the first minute of the match, is reasonable. It may be just the incentive to find out your crazy build, and your crazy team, actually works.

^ couldn't have said it better myself.

I do RA for glad points, but I also stay when my team looks bad. I mean, is 1 min really going to kill you. If after that 1 min its obvious that your team sucks or its gonna be 30 min of no killing then you can leave. Besides, I've won 10 consec with teams that looked really bad at first.

If a 10 min time limit would be implicated for all types of arena matches, they could never stretch into infinity.
But people should stay till the end.

I voted "yes" ...

But there are things that sound better than the word "punishment" on your suggestion.

I made a "detailed suggestion for RA timer" a while ago, where i tried to take into account all the "valid reasons" to leave matches.

I think my suggestion could use some support

People leaving RA teams at the start is a problem. It is selfish and spoils the fun of up to 7 other people. There is no justification for it.

To all of you people moaning about how we should shut up and just accept that people leave....i dont get it.. if you dont care, then dont post in a thread like this since it doesnt effect you... far too much hate goes on in this forum which swamps genuine concerns and good ideas.

What some of you forget is that RA is the first place new players learn about and can experience PVP.(and they need to win there to get further anyway) I have only been playing GW a few weeks and entering RA was a big experience and deal. Then i find out that so many people leave cause they are 'too good' for the rest of us or whatever reason they tell themselves its ok to leave... meh.. have some respect for others please.

What that sort of behaviour does is influence us new players to think that maybe we dont want to get further involved in PVP if that is the attitude displayed and promoted.

Thanks for the link - "detailed suggestion for RA timer" , Halbarad Wolfson. I have added my support to your good idea which i would like to see ANet implement.

Locking this thread, and all the other "Fix Leavers" threads in Sardelac, for the time being. When the new system is revealed, we'll look at it, look at these threads, and see if they need reopened or not. Until then, let's all be patient and see what we get.
