Trouble is for me i have no other alternative atm, i just started playing again on a new account after i quit gw like 2 years ago and i dont have the 'right' rank to find a ha team that will accept me and no decent guild will accept you either if you dont have r5-7 in ha.
So tell me what other option does a new player have except try to get a decent gladiator title and maybe find a good guild.

And btw, I have 1mil+ faction so I know what the feck I'm talking about.

1 mil+ faction! cool. Do you leave to get a 'real team' a lot.

/Report for not considering team mates.

Or you could speak to the other monks and go.. "hey, this will be pointless. Mind if i leave?"

That won't work because of the dishonor system. However, /resign still works just fine.

Blackhearted · Sep 28, 2007, 09:45 AM // 09:45

This is pretty much directed solely at the "i can't rage anymore" whiners.

It's kinda funny... You people are crying now because you actually have to play the game the way it was meant? lawl, that doesn't make sense at all. If you want to ensure you get good people and a team you know for sure can win then that's why we have TA. Go there for your ideal perfect team and quit crying cause you can't go unpunished anymore in wasting others time in RA by raging when you don't get what you want.

Personally tho, i think this new punishment for leaving system is great. For the first time in the year and a half that i've been playing gw RA will now be a viable, playable arena

Oh, i see!

ok. fair enough, scratch what i said.

I swear.... I might never be able to take my necro (Ghost of Cot Death) into Alliance Battle again for fear of running into another grieving ex-parent who suddenly decides to have it in for me because their baby died.
Reporting for leeching... and such things that actually influence the progression of play..... fine...
But reporting just because you don't like the name of another character should NOT be allowed. It does NOT influence gameplay in any way other than to cause a major inconvenience to whoever gets reported for it.... My Necro's name is TRADITIONAL for heck sake...

This report-function had better not stay..... -_-;

1) Was in AB today, accidentaly pressed the reset button on the computer with my foot.
2) Logged back in to get back to AB.
3) Dinner comes around a few minutes into the match, so I have to leave.
4) Finish dinner, log back in to see some stupid hex on me that tells me I can't PvP for an hour.
5) *Throws keyboard*.

And about this /report feature, all I saw in RA today in about every district was a bunch of twats swearing at everybody for the sake of seeing if they would get banned from /report. They didn't.

/clap /clap

shadows of hob · Sep 28, 2007, 10:52 AM // 10:52

Lol, what a bad update.

The gladiator title track is fine, I have R4 now instead of R3

The /report thing is really bad. Point is that people are **** others in AB and in RA. In AB, you have teams that just /report everybody else, the other teams /report the others teams too and at the end, nobody gains faction and you can't leave, because of the stupid dishonour system......

I am really glad they did this. I can go enjoy Random Arena in peace for now. That whole Dishonor points thing was a really good decision imo. Let's hope this makes PvP better overall

Good job Anet

Horuku · Sep 28, 2007, 11:19 AM // 11:19

^You can "enjoy" RA now? How was it before? Nothing has changed. Instead of people leaving when they see you running the worst build they are forced to try and play with your gimpyness. Nothing changed, excpet now RA is in a welfare state, meaning us vets are forced to put up with aggravating nubs that think going no-sub monk with orison of healing is cruise control for l33t!

Leavers were not a problem. It happend seldomly, and if it did then you just left yourself and were more than likely in a different game within 30 seconds. So explain to me how the same arenas that favor teams with healers has become more fun for you?

That is completely unfair. Your being punished for having to deal with everyday life events.

Good. Game.

Raccoon · Sep 28, 2007, 11:33 AM // 11:33

This new update is pathetic. More so then GWEN amour!

First of all, they have made it easier for that large group of people who go to places like Random arenas and just screw around for the hell of it. Now they wont leave and will pester the other players until the good players just leave because they cant stand it any longer.

Secondly, I reserve the right to leave a group if they are complete noobs. 98% of the time a team sounds good just before you leave but the second you enter the battle it's now a point of no return. For example, in Alliance battles, I now have to stay on the losing team when it's pretty obvious your going to lose the whole match. On average that's 8 minutes I have to stand there pretending to care whilst the rest of my team either abuses the luxons or they just leave.

My last major concern is where Anet obviously didn't pay any attention to the outcome. The /report command? Which genius thought that one up and decided to introduce it at the same time as this stupid dishonor timer? Now not only are you forcing people who are fighting amoungst themselves to stay together in a losing team for longer, but your giving them the chance to spam /report. You think this will help? The reason why people are fighting in the first place is because they have to stay where they are if they want to play again afterwards.

This new update is just going to stir up more trouble. In the past, you would have to make an effort to report someone, and even then, the player would have to seriously care about the issue to send the email because in between the original little fight players have and actually getting to their NCsoft account, they forget all about it or just stop caring. But now it's just a simple word away from getting someone who swore at you banned.

(If you aren't offended by anything on the internet, then you aren't on the internet, its a fact of life and people get over a few seconds of rage) Way to stoke the fire.

I'll give Anet about a week before they either get bored of the complaints or just get annoyed with the plethora of "/report" messages they have to go through to find the legit cases.

Don't believe me? Go to Kamadan for 5 minutes. Just about every second message is "Hey ____! I just /reported you!", "Well I just /reported you too!".

The constant PVE nerfs. Eye of the North. This update. It's a slippery slope isn't it?

Want a perfect team? go to TA(or other, higher up, pvp types). If you "vets" are too ignorant to see that is where you can pick the builds and "uberpro" players you want then, well, i don't know what we can do for you.

And leavers were a problem that happened constantly. The only reason you can't see it is cause you're one of the people who did it too.

Here here,

I have no sympathy for leavers who wont play unless they have the exact right situation in which to work. Ive always though of RA as being about survivability without a monk as 70% of the time you wont get one.
