99% of everyone effected by this are NOT leechers.

RA - People leave games because too many teams in RA are 2-3monk teams with no damage dealers and too many people playing do not have the IQ required to type /resign.

So you are stuck because if you leave you become Dishonorable.

AB - Simply, half the teams usually consist of idiots who try to 1v1 people or people with terrible builds.

Tweak it or just simply remove it.

It's doing more harm then good.

Part of the point of Dishonorable is to keep people from abandoning teams for these very reasons as well.

Some players in the community enjoy PvP'ing even if the random teams aren't the most desirable outcome. Your abandoning hinders these peoples' gaming experience since they have to, then, play with a three party team.

You know it's random, so you accept the chance of a shitty outcome when you join.

As for AB, people have a right to try out builds. A lot of people are learning how to PvP. Failing is a part of the learning process. Instead of leaving, you should make respectful suggestions to help people become better PvP'ers.

Abandoning people like this is not going to help the PvP community.

Dishonorable - Best Idea Ever

post script: I also get Dishonorable when I don't feel I deserved it, but I see less people bailing so it is doing more good than harm.

Please provide solid information or test results of where you got the 99% from.

And Dishonorable isn't intended just for leechers.

So you just got the hex amirite?

And you come here make a QQ thread about the dishonourable hope it will last 10 minutes so you can go play again?

britnie31 · May 14, 2008, 06:54 AM // 06:54

why be upset over RANDOM arena .. You get the key word in that right .. its RANDOM some times you get 4 monk / or 4 warrior / or you get a good balance .. again KEY WORD IS RANDOM

making this topic is the Worst Idea Ever.

In ab, your team can resign.
In ra, if you have a crappy team, either convince them to resign or play that one game and leave afterwards.

Washi · May 14, 2008, 06:59 AM // 06:59

wow... just leave after the first round? fail

Dr Strangelove · May 14, 2008, 07:06 AM // 07:06

If you care about what the rest of your team is using, go play TA.

tezza151 · May 14, 2008, 07:07 AM // 07:07

Yea honest to god dishonorable is a great thing, its punishment for those who rage quit, simple play PvP the right way and u wont be hexed with it

mazza558 · May 14, 2008, 07:11 AM // 07:11

I'll tell you what's worse - getting Dishonorable when you leave as soon as everyone on your team's dead, in order to save a few seconds. Even worse are the people who report me when there's one member of our team who wants to run around for 7 minutes when he has admitted he has no res and the rest of us are dead - so I leave.

Whoever reports me when I do this, WHY DO YOU DO IT?!

Oh yes... because it's so harmful to have to play the damn game instead of endlessly quitting because things aren't EXACTLY how you want them..

People leaving RA was like an epidemic prior to the dishonor system. It does it's job well and if you really need to leave you don't get dishonor unless you've done it repeatedly and even if you do 10 minutes isn't going to kill you. Cry more pls.

Div · May 14, 2008, 07:58 AM // 07:58

It was a dumb system to begin with. But why did they implement it? Because people QQ'ed about RA leavers. You pretty much have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

jiggles · May 14, 2008, 08:12 AM // 08:12

I won 4 matches in RA the other day with four healer monks, we won by wanding everything to death (seriously) so not always is it a good idea to resign purely because you dont like how the team looks.

I also like the dishonourable system

so not signed

traeskapa · May 14, 2008, 08:14 AM // 08:14

Well, I guess it's supposed to keep you there the few minutes it will take to finish the RA-game, or whatever you were playing. It's not working, but it's not bad either.

Mystica · May 14, 2008, 08:38 AM // 08:38

I never had dishonorable for me. Actually I didn't know it exsists till a former allymate started complaining about it 2 weeks ago.

We spend hours trading.
More hours farming.
A lot of hours forming groups PvE/PvP whatever.
And probably the most time posting/chatting nonsenseon guru in local or guild/ally chat.

But when it comes to RA all of a sudden everybody is in a hurry. Can't you just wait those 5 minutes till the round is over without spoiling it for the rest of your team?

Kassad · May 14, 2008, 08:58 AM // 08:58

Everyone seems to be missing the point, I leave when my team has 2-3 monks and no one on the team can do damage.

That is a waste of time.

No i'm not going to stay 8 minutes just so both teams die in a draw.
