Long story short:

-I only decided to try PvP now, after having the game for a little while.
-When i travel to one of the Random Arenas, it takes more than a minute to download everything.
-When i get there, the fight is over, my team is all dead because it only had 3 chars, and i get reported.

I know loosing a match cos one of your teammates isn't there sucks, but what can i do to prevent it?

Well IF you are having that problem EVERY time in Random Arenas then your Internet Connection is slow.

If you feel your internet is not slow then the next time you load the same map you just loaded slowly on you should now be fine, as the info has been DLed. You know, 20 of 346 files downloaded, the are not going to re load EVERY time.

They are not going to take long to load everytime..this i know.My net isn't slow also, its just that are lots of files. The thing is, i've tried RA twice, got 2 diferrent maps, and got reported by 6 different people...
Don't know how many maps are there or what are the effects of getting reported everytime...

Use -image to download everything overnight or something. That way you don't have to load entire maps when you fight.

typing /image??

Right click your shortcut to run Guild Wars, go to properties and there will be a box that says something along the lines of "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe".
Add ' -image' after that (make sure you include the space).

thanks, man! i've already started downloading 70.000+ files....

Trying not to go way too much off-topic, how can i "get rid" of these reports? My name is being displayed in green and yellow...

and once you are done downloading all the stuff with -image command you'll need to remove that command to run GW again.

easiest way to bypass this is have a 2nd copy of the GW shortcut on your desktop and rename it. use that one for the -image and the real named one for the actual game.

I do something similar but use the quick launch gw icon on the toolbar for my -image and the desktop one for the game.

You don't. If you get too many you get Dishonorable, which is a way of keeping you from entering PvP for a while. Dishonorable goes away after a point.
