Haha...I've never played a Wammo. I play mesmer and necromancer and sometimes monk in PvP.

Ok Zui, that longer post was more satisfactory. I suppose the PvP stacked punishment system would really only be good in RA and AB.

I'll respond to your reasons:

1. I said somewhere the penalty would be lifted for RA games lasting 7-10 minutes.

2. Sub level 20 teammates are a separate problem. This would be a separate suggestion of mine, but I think they shouldn't be allowed to enter any high level PvP.

3. Good point. This is why I agree more with this reply.

4. What? If I read this right, it doesn't look like a good reason to leave to do something else.

5. If you're getting harrassed, you shouldn't punish the other two people on the team by leaving. Play the game out and then leave before the next match if you're going to leave.

As for your idea of taking away the Gladiator title from Random Arenas...if it would truly cut down on the rage quitters, I'm all for it.

Are you saying if your team is so good there's no sign of losing you should be able to leave? You CAN leave...before the next game with no penalty under this system.

Thallandor mentioned something about another game (Gunbound) with the gold system I mentioned. I am aware of this, and that's where the idea came from. Back a long long time ago when I played gunbound, lag was a terrible problem, but I've watched other people play it recently and now it rarely, if ever, happens. Regardless of that, Guild Wars, on a much more reliable system, rarely (to me) gets to a point where you have to leave because the game "freezes".

Oh well, thanks everyone for giving this a look. I wasn't aware that this was brought up before. I used the search function, but I'm not quite sure what to search for with respect to this. ("Rage Quit" returned PvE results. "PvP Rage Quit" returned one relevent topic, but I was trying to implement a different system than that post.) Regardless of the random nature of the arenas, measures should be taken to maximize the enjoyment from this game type. If not punishment, then something else for the people that stay. (33% Morale Boost...heh.)

/Not sign to the OP's suggestion.

I would go with

1: When people leave, they will still leave a dead body on the floor, which when rez, will be a AI hench that that their stead.

2: Honor Points: If you have less people in you party due the leavers (and they are not rez), you will gain double or tripple faction point earn.

3: Cost of Faction Points: Enforce where each time you join a PvP game, it cost 50 or 100 faction points. But once that game is over, regardless of win or loose, you will get that point back. So if a leaver leave befoe the game end, it will cost him points.

4: Surrounder command: If all member of your team type /surrounder (must have all ), it will automatically finish the game. (to still enable people to leave to a unwanted game)
