Right now it sits at 1 point= 1 minute. Are you serious this is a joke, so you accrue 10 points what you have to sit out for 10 mins, OHHH WELLLLLLLLLL. guess what when its done you go back in and do it again, the next time its 15, anyone else see the joke in this. There are reall jerks out there and while RAing, HAing, and ABing i have noticed the same people doing it over and over again, just up and leaving.

PLEASE make it harsher. Up it to maybe 10 mins for every point and it take you more time to remove a point. There are a TOn of leavers and leechers and if you think not then you obviously dont even watch your own game.

Ohhhhhh I so much agree with this let's make them sit out their entire gaming time period.

i hate the fact that there is always one person who will report you if your phone rings or someone comes to the door while you are playing. what are you supposed to do? not have a life?

The point to places like RA and AB is you get what you get, if you want coordination then try to coordinate with people you know in guild or people you know are not noobs. I mean isnt coordination what you do in TA, HA and gvg. Besides from personal experience if you have one capping team In Ab i know you can save the match if all the rest are not so blessed with brains to know what to do. As per random arena deal with what you get, hence the name RANDOM. But yeah the system should be reworked and make it much harsher. yeah crap happens and sometimes you DC but live with it, if your DCing that much, enought to acrue that many dishonour points then maybe PVP is not for you.

Yeah make it harsher haha. RA experience: while I am reading things on the net, back to gw and hit enter, switch to reading, back to game check team => use one skill and go suicide with auto-attack, back to reading, rinse and repeat. I never get dc points, sometimes one guy reports me (others don't) and he gets a few DC points lol. DCS was a fun addition to RA.

RA before Dishonor - priceless - 2 vs 4 half the time

Not going to read the entire topic, here's my problems with the dishonorable system.

So what if you get 1 or 2 reports when you're afk for something urgent in real life. It's not like it's going to kill you. I dont get why people sometimes overreact to it.

If you have a team of 8, say in fort aspenwood or jade quarry, and more than 4 are leeching, which sometimes isnt that uncommon, it seems to come and go, then you can't even report them all without punishing yourself. So the person reporting gets screwed.

Another thing, the punishment is laughable. Yes, laughable. At first 10 minutes of dishonorable hex? Oh noes. Someone who specialises in leeching or botting has made it a point to not play the game. So a punishment where they can't play the game is hardly going to demotivate them. Players have actually given up on using the report function because it does absolutely nothing. This causes people that DO report, to get the dishonorable points themselves as well, since you need the majority of the team to report so you don't also get dishonorable points. I understand how this is a failsafe from abuse by individual people, but it also punishes the few people that do think it works.

I think in some places, like AB or JQ and FA, your final reward should be proportional to your contribution. Hard to say how this would work, but perhaps a timer of some sort. Every moment you're not not giving any input on your mouse/keyboard and/or being a certain distance away from any relevant action, NPC's or other players, a timer goes off. You can't see it, but it's there.
And then at the end when you get the reward for the mission, the percentage of time you were essentially useless, you get detracted that percentage from the final score. Of course this wouldn't work on cleverly made bots, or in certain areas like RA. Things like a standoff, where both sides are reluctant to attack, that wouldn't work very well. So maybe the timer could be very lenient, like having a margin of a few minutes before it starts to deduct points.
Something else, increase the balthasar and alliance faction for every individual kill, but make is so that if you weren't even in any way related to the team making the kill, such as outside of radar range for example, you don't get any points.
The thing is, leechers in these arena's that I talked about get the same reward as the people who actually play. If you change it so that leeching isn't rewarding, it will stop.
Obviously it's not a perfect system, Im more thinking out loud. It's a little lame to have criticism but not offer anything constructive of your own in return, imo.

System is not going to change, that much is clear. Did not need a TWO YEAR bump for this.
