Was just wondering if there are any limitations to this....it doesn't seem so. Almost an hour ago I left a team of 4 monks in RA because I simply didn't want to wait 10 minutes. What are the odds? Several matches and nearly an hour later...my power went out. When I reconnected several minutes later I was marked as dishonorable.
Now besides the fact I'm posting to kill the timer I must admit this is a very good system despite the fact. Anyone else have similar problems? Or know what I'm suppose to do in such a case...

The system isnt perfect, but its deffinately better than nothing. Its rare to get something like 4 monks, you can quit and hope you dont run into another or just wait it out.
You were just unfortunate to run into one of the flaws in that GW cant tell the difference between a crash/power outage and someone quitting the game or pulling the plug. However due to the rarity of crashing, while its unfortunate for those it effects, the pros of stopping people leaving far outweighs it.

How about waiting 10 minutes?

I find that the most flawed thing about /report is the people using it. I have seen countless times in Alliance Battles where someone will lose connection to the server and they get reported. People are just so quick to use the /report function they seem to do it when it isn't required.

Why should you put others over yourself in a game where those others are probably so terrible that you can already predict the outcome before the match occurs?

If I did PvP, I'd have so much dishonorable I'd end up getting perma-banned... But at least in instances, the modem comes back in a minute or two and anywhere but that last boss I can reconnect to my PUG and carry through.

Yesterday I was with a bad team, 3 people died and our riposte warrior waited until the match was seconds from being over to res. I say to him, dude why would you res when the match is over and waste our time. The other 2 guys leave, and the emo reports me for "leeching". gg dishonorable.

(in the circumstance you indicated, I would have reported the guy)
It's sad the the Dishonorable Combatant System doesn't make people realise that there are many situations where it's still possible to win (it's been reported here). Some people are simply lazy and careless, and take the fast track to winning, at the expense of others.

It doesn't even seem to be doing anything. Leavers seem to be just as much a problem for me in the matches as if the system wasn't even there -.-
But maybe that's because I always get stuck on a team with 2 Wammos and No monk.

Since the change I dont think I have ever ran into more than 1-2 leavers an hour.
Over the 1-2 every 5 games thats a huge improvement.

I've been dishonored for the 2nd time from leaving a match too early. I don't even leave in the middle of the match. I leave right when my last teammate dies, and apparently that counts as leaving the match cause it didn't officially declare the winner. I got it this time after I got impatient and left the match early because my only remaining teammate was running away from all the guys like an idiot and he wouldn't die.

Don't worry anet has taken that into account, they dont just auto ban someone just cause they were reported, they go back and look through the log check out what really happened before taking any sort of drastic measures, the /report command is more or less a way for us to help anet police the place, and nothing final at all.

Bought a new account (pvp access kit), so dishonor is no longer as much a problem for me. If I get it, I can just go to my other account. I can leave pretty much whenever I want, and the rest of the time I can just c-space onto a target and minimize until my team finally gets itself killed. Having to go find a way to entertain myself while playing a game (whose goal should be to entertain me, yes?) is pretty amazingly retarded.
Still think the dishonor system is pretty dumb. Makes it too easy to grief your teammates if you have some stupid runner build, shadow form sin, or 55 monk. Your whole team just died, except for the shadow form sin, and you're going to lose because of morale within 7 mins anyway? TOO BAD!
Reporting for leeching is entirely automated. The dishonor gets applied with no review whatsoever. I don't think the system could work otherwise though.

Before the dishonor update I'd see that many in a day. It definately works at lower the # of leavers.
