Control in pvp you get in gvg and ha, you dont need control in RANDOM arena dude, not everything you do in a game has to be controled by anet or some whiners with the /report power.

Nuff said on this subject no point in arguing with a "mature" player like yourself.

before you go, read the posts:

In summary, I responded to Horukus post and I never accused you of anything. But!, you felt it was ok to lash out with personal insults.

Are you insulting me at random, because no one loves you?

because your feeling guilty about being a leaver? because you may get labelled as a 'leaver'?

Guilt maybe? hmm!. Yeah that may be it.

Dumps teams for selfish reasons then pretends it's because the others were unworthy 'noobs'. Or maybe your a really cool player; But, your really not very cool on this forum.

If you were a cool player, someone people would respect, you would probably have the sense to explain to your team mates that 'x is waste of time' and use /resign. But you don't, as you now admit.

It's sounds like, if it's not, me, me, me, it's rage quit and dash onto the forums to take it out on someone else.

Oh, and now you get smacked on the forum

you don't want to fight. Is this where you rage quit for another 2 years...

*/wave*

ps. please answer

I'm happy to help anyone struggling with GW.

I think people should wait to see how things work before they jump to conclusions on how this or that will affect the game. It could be that what is being said will happen, but at least it is an attempt to correct some problems.

SSSHHHHH!

I have noticed that the amount of monks in TA and RA has gone up considerably.

Leavers were not that big of a problem. If it happend, you hit F12, log out, relog in and go on again. It really wasn't that big of a deal. It is the nature of random arenas. But now, if you have a really crappy team, you're stuck.

This on top of the Glad Point carebare BS. I was working my butt off to get glad rank 3, I was 15 points from it. So much frustration to get that high, and now its easier than stealing candy from a baby.

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

EDIT: The time remaining instead of elapsed is the only good thing to come of this. I can't tell you how many games that have gone on for over an hour because of idiots running away.

A) You are stuck and can't play..well then the update worked...got rid of leavers.

B) "Leavers are not a problem" and "I worked my butt off"....do you really not see that you did nothing? Just join and quit until you get a great team then rolling 10 randomly chosen teams is not work!

C) 1 mil faction is not much reall....and has nothing to do with you knowing anything about anything

D) QQ

There's more griefing than ever in RA. Too many teams with 2 or 3 monks just healing away until the timer goes down. This update had good intentions but lack of testing.

I wouldn't worry too much about your name. The word raccoon is not offensive in and of itself. I'm sure there are certain contexts where it could be, but by itself it's fine.

The only time I see this being a problem is if a computer program is set up to judge what's offensive and what isn't. As long as a real live human is making the calls, it shouldn't be an issue.

I was playing on another game site once and got banned for offensive speech. I didn't say anything wrong. After some research I found that the statement that got me banned was "it's possible for your score to be negative in this game." Huh? What could possibly be racially offensive in that statement!???!!!?

It turned out that the word "negative" is banned. In looking back at the chat logs, the statement actually appeared in the chat room as "it's possible for your score to be ----tive". The "nega" in negative sounds too close to another term that is highly offensive and so I got banned.

This is what happens when computers decide what's appropiate and what isn't.

maybe now we can see more caster hate, mesmers, necros, daze assasins, bha rangers, enchant removal, and so on

wow thats weak. I cleared 3 areas full of charr last night and got NO plans. I hope they fix this so i can do the mission.

HKSdivision · Sep 28, 2007, 03:18 PM // 15:18

HAHAHA! Yes! Finally they do something about the leechers, leavers, bots and so forth! Can you say owned?! hahaha!!!

They started dropping again, i got one just last night.

It'll be interesting to hear how the reporting feature turns out. Rest of the update is ok I guess.

lol

Yes, and rightfully so because you know that saccing yourself in RA is griefing. Your teammate with minions also needs to be reported, just for bringing them to an RA match.

wilson · Sep 28, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

They should have made "Dishonorable" a title. I'd farm that. Probably the only title worth having.

wolfwing · Sep 28, 2007, 05:18 PM // 17:18

One new thing I've noticed, unless it falls under the *we announce it now* I've been getting a message about +100 reputation for killing bosses. THough I'm not sure if I actually GET the points.

So; if you also agree this system is terrible, do this:

Make a PvP Only Monk
Equip 5 Superior Runes
Run this bar: [Dishonor;OwUTEsGD3QkLBEAAAAAAAAA]

If enough people do this; clearly they need to have the report feature accept reports on people being terrible at this game.

You sound like you are a leaver and this is going to hurt you personally. How many competitive games do you just quit because you are losing? We have a term for people like the above they are called poor sports.

wolfwing · Sep 28, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Funny thing is, this update helps RA alot. Most 'terrible' teams I get into that win at least 1 match usually make it 5-8, rarly do they get 10, now this way you actually get one gladiator point, so less excuse, and with syncing being canned, there will be less chances of perfect teams being created, and if they are it's totally random.

grow up.

I thought random arenas were for people to learn PvP. If you are so good at it maybe you should help the people who aren't as good as you are learn how to play. It is a team and you are certainly not a team player as can been seen by your comments.

I was thinking the same thing. It'd be funny, especially if it was a mandatory display in PvP outposts on all characters in your account. And just for fun, max dishonorable rank= Ban!

Maybe he doesn't want to help them? If I were to help/answer to every annoying person who messages me just because they see my titles I would never get any time to play. If he wants to farm the gladiator title, it's now a tedious task instead of something midly-fun (I still think all PvP in GW blows) because he has to stick with people who have never played.

And who the hell do you people think you are, telling that guy who had to go eat that he shouldn't be playing when he has to go eat. Seriously, he RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing payed for the game and he has the right to play it whenever he damn wants to. One person leaving in AB will not change much, and at least 3-4 people leave every single match for each team. He is being put in "timeout" for that, it's ridiculous

This update is horrible, seriously... I am not going to go on my 55monk for the next month at least because I will get banned for it because of the retards that thing being guildless obviously = bot.

Reporting anti-social behavior? WTF? I don't like answering to everyone all the time and now they can report me for it? Like those annnoying people in low-level towns that whisper you to join their guilds... now I have to answer them or I might get banned? Wow great stuff.

This game isn't about having fun anymore, it's about watching your every action so you don't accidentaly hurt some idiot's feelings and having them get their guild to report you. If they don't remove this update after this weekend, I'm finding a different game to play.

Seriously, I hope all you whiners are happy, you are killing the game one update at a time.

DoA is too hard! Nerf it!
PvP is unfair because I use an inspiration-only mesmer and everyone leaves when I show them my build! Force them to stay!
People have to leave a PvP match for any given reason that might of been unexpected to them when they started the match, make them unable to play for an hour!
That guy is a monk with no guild, Report him!
I want all the rare skins because obviously I CAN'T enjoy the game without them! My character sucks if he doesn't have that one skin! Make sure they aren't rare at all anymore!

EternalTempest · Sep 28, 2007, 09:01 PM // 21:01

How is this any different from ppl taking screenshots, and reporting them via support?

Anet's just making it a lot easier. They also sided with a segmented of the community that feel that leavers, leechers, etc are a problem and empowering players to be able to report issues quicker and easier.

@ mlandry

People are also reading the update wrong.
Leave = 1 point = new game *1* min wait to get back in
60 min to work off that 1 point.

Now say they leave 5 times = 5 min downtime before entering a new pvp
It will take 5 hours took work off those 5 points.

What have you heard that the same rules/test's conditions for punishment would be any different from what they are now.
