Truth be told, the hex hasn't really increased quality among the PvP settings it effects. All it has done is make the people you would have lost playing with before, feel more loved because now you have to watch their utterly disgusting build run around/not rez/ or just fail...
It's still all the same, only now you'll lose with whatever max players instead of less.

(I've been moderator on a huge forum where you could get up to 10 posts per second at worst times and dozens of reports where you need to track down the information and I can tell you it's not an easy job contrarily to what you seem to suggest, people make mistakes and that does not mean that you have to point your finger at the system)
You think Im lying about this guy? lol
for the last time spend a day in Luxon FA and you will see him too. You will see everyone report him and you will see him back in the next match.
With as many reports as this guy has gotten he shouldnt even be allowed back in at all.
But Im done responding to you.
You dont seem to get it.

Even mentioning initials is against the rules, I think. We have no concrete proof that he really is leeching. Yes, I know, you've said, "go to FA on the Luxon side and he'll be there." It's still calling out an individual in a bad light.

Guess what? THAT'S THE POINT! It's made with the idea that people in things like Random Arenas, Alliance Battles, Fort Aspenwood will be discouraged from leaving. Having a subpar build, not resurrecting, that is their choice which you can't influence.

The dishonor hex was put in place to help make people feel happy, so others couldn't leave, when the people I mentioned above all deserved to lose. Sry I do not enjoy having to sit and watch retards in various PvP settings. This is why everything besides GvG and HA, is a sess pool of lower quality, no good players bother going into those arenas because Anet is now forcing us to play with dummies. Pretty much Anet has said with their actions "do what you want, bring stupid skills, don't rez, enjoy the show"

I think: some small changes that would make it less troublesome.

Dishonoured Hex not stopping you from GvGing: I find this to be a problem. I was asked to guest while RA'ing - I was in some boring 2 monk vs 2 monk fight where nothing was really going to die. There was 8 minutes left of the fight. I left, I'd been asked to gvg.. didn't want to keep people waiting.... aaand, I got disonhoured! 5 minutes till the AT match, couldn't play. Fair enough, don't let me RA for a while thats where I was causing "problems" - but making it so one can't gvg even - and it's not like I had a choice... if I didn't leave I wouldn't have made it in time.. and leaving got me the hex. I'm pretty sure the people I was about to gvg with couldn't give a toss if I was disonhoured or not... Um yeah i think that's one of the things that needs working out.

I also think you should be allowed to leave if only one of your team members is alive - way too often is there some dipshit who will run around for the duration of the match and you have no choice but to wait it out (and eventually lose), or get dishonoured

actually in RA, thats not really true.

I remember being monk(not saying im great or nething), but then having a w/e fire ele, a w/ i think he was missing some skills too, and a wamo- i think he was mostly a smite character. we got to 10 and then beat some teams like rezQ in TA.

on the topic of dishonor though.

I think the thing about ppl leaving b4 every single game is alittle hyped out. I played RA quite alot cause i have nothing to do, and well, i didn't really see it as bad as ppl say(even when i didnt monk).

also-ppl do not /resign. It just does not happen. So ppl shouldnt even be assuming that /resign will save the day because it does not.

All in all, the dishonor well, its incredibly annoying to get dishonor after leaving 1 game(for random reasons like all ur members left, or game was going on with nothing happening for 5 min and would go til 8 ect) then another for same reasons kind of sux too. In addition, getting teams like the 3 monk 1 rit or the 4 monk, ect seem to be a drag to which happen every once in awhile.

it doesnt seem to be incredibly bad during monk playing, but on a war and sin and such, it gets pretty annoying b/c u get the urge to leave the team when its obvious ur going to lose(which happens alot) it also sucks when u get a runner on ur team. saving time is nice.

There are reasons why dishonor has helped some and then reasons why it has made things worse...so dunnoi cant say i like it, but i havnt really felt the severity as i expected, then again, ive just been playing monk to avoid these hex issues neways..

Dishonourable sucks... I got it today for leaving, yes I did leave, but the team added me under false pretenses. And another game I was being abused for reasons I won't go into, but had something to do with my gender...it wasn't major, not enough to report someone for verbal abuse over, but enough that I don't have to stay in a game and put up with that behaviour...and somehow I'M the dishnourable one? The whole system is flawed.

How do you know there is no chance unless you stay? I know I've been in teams of three after leavers have gone and still won...leavers are as annoying as leachers, they usually guarantee a loss.

If there is half team leaching (1 person leeches, then second, third and up to 6-7), you are loosing 10-300 and your only allies are morons with pre-searing bars, you KNOW there is no chance.

Imo remove for AB, stay in RA. I mean, if team is bad, just loose, let them kill you. Then exit.

DHH is dumb, but it is getting better: I report all the noobs who won't resign, and we manage to give them a few DH points every once in a while.
EDIT: this is in RA (not AB)

Explain to me why you would report someone who won't resign, when by resigning you get 5 dishonorable points.

BS, you don't get 5 points for resigning. You get 5 points for leaving the game before it ends, then 5 points again when you leave again and then hex kicks in.

My two cents. If you are the leader in a Guild then you can Boot members out of the Guild.

So if you are the leader of a Team you should be able to Kick members out of the Team.

Makes sense to me especially if you are the one paying 1000 gold to get there in the first place.

Uhhuh... anyways I've won 31 games in a row with an RA team with no sort of healing. Perhaps it was the skill in which we played our 4 sway builds or the fact we rolled every other team we faced.

DISHONORABLE WORKS. Aspenwood = phail for faction AND balthy fac compared to AB. Please don't QQ about ur aspenwood experience because I've played as kurzy plenty and I see maybe 1 leecher every 5 games.

Lol, didn't know. But in AB teams never resign. Really. Unless it's a guild team, but guild teams usually pwn randoms.
