Default No Opposing Party
I posted this on Riverside Inn also

Isn't it about time that we start getting fame / another chest for no opposing party? During prime time we had THREE no opposing parties before we gave up. 12 minute waits are dumb. At the very most you should have to wait 1 minute before you might get another no opposing party.

With PUGs taking 3 hours to assemble, there still isn't going to be anyone to play so whats your point. You still would have sat there for 36 minutes regardless.

Depends what time you were in, peak hours is around 7PM-11PM GMT.

I dont think anyone deserves rewards for a no opposing teams, otherwise farming glad points would be so easy during off-peak hours and most of the random daytime thumperway teams would rank up incredibly fast.

I don't think giving fame or items will fix anything.

Well I'm new at the game and I personally have no idea how I'd even get into a HoH game without a PUG, and who knows where the hell they form at. Not to mention I have no fame or rank.

Nobody deserves fame for a no oposing party, a minigame would be more fun like a neverending swarm of pve monsters that reduce your fame count by 100 every time you are attacked as a n/rt or a ranger wielding a hammer.

I agree we should be given something to do for those 12 minutes, with a possible reward, but not fame/chest drop.

I can recall at least 12 times last summer I gave up. My normal hours of play are 5pm onward, (central US time). Generally after 10pm theres lots of 1v1 crap and nop. Seeing as I was participating in an REU I had to rage quit often so I wouldnt be late next morning, where as those are 3 matchs I couldve played.

Not for nothing

How about fame/loot for being pretty.

I'd have like 1mil fame and 10 stacks of armbraces.

HA already get rewarded more than it should, standing and doing nothing, although a talent of many HAers, should not get anything.

Something small would be better than nothing though. If I somehow luck out and win halls, I'd rather fight and lose it right away than sit around for 12 minutes doing nothing. Some sort of minigame, or a Zaishen Key, or some faction would be nice, considering that the people you just beat in halls are off earing fame on UW or whatever, and you're sitting around discussing whether or not it's a good idea for your monk to go take a shower and come back.

PvE mission that if you complete in 10 minutes, your team gets +5% morale.
