Hi im just wondering how many times can i leave an RA match before i get dishonorable. and i dont mean whilst everyones alive, mean when 3 of us is dead and we've got a retarded ranger using escape ect to stay alive just to waste time or say a warrior with 300000 health and 300000 armor using defy pain ect... ive noticed ive been able to leave twice under these conditions, im just wondering whats the limit?

Thanks in advance.

The limit is twice. In fact you get dishonorable after that, each time you leave gives you 5 dishonorable points and when you reach 10, you get dishonorable.

ah crap. perhaps second time didnt count. probably last person died just as i zoned out. should happen if 3 people in your team are dead. dunno how theyd do that though. but still. ive been in alot of teams today where we're failing, and then you get a ranger just decide to go on a run for 6 minutes.

10 points is the limit. i believe you get 3? points each time someone reports you for leeching too.
but the 1st might have worn off in time for the 2nd to not given you dishonorable.

this system has many flaws to it, but what can we do. it just seems worse this weekend especially with all the damn pve'ers who are in ra just for the weekend and refuse to resign.

To be fair, things were much worse without dishonor, with people leaving before matches even started if they didn't have a healer. Prior to dishonor, you would be lucky to get 1 4v4 match in 10 games.
Anyway, dishonor decays over time. You can still leave early if there is some ranger running around, just don't do it more then once an hour.

From wiki:

* Players who leave a PvP match prematurely will receive 5 dishonor points.

* If a player is reported for leeching, that player will receive 2 dishonor points for each report against him. Players who report a team member for leeching without a third of their team also reporting that player will also receive 2 dishonor points.

* Any account that has accumulated 10 or more dishonor points is given the Dishonorable status, which is displayed as a buff icon on screen. While affected by this status, no characters present on that account may enter any PvP missions.

* The Dishonorable status remains in effect for 1 minute for each accumulated dishonor point. This status cannot be removed by logging out or changing characters.

* When the duration of the Dishonorable status has expired, characters on that account may once again join PvP missions.

* Dishonor points will remain on the player's account for a total of 60 minutes. If further dishonor points are acquired during this period, that account is once again given the Dishonorable status, though for a longer period of time.

* To clear dishonor points from an account, a player must go 60 minutes without accumulating any new dishonor points.

* Dishonor's Hex timer does not decrease unless you are in a PVP area.
