Dishonorable - Worst Idea Ever
Rhaenys
I see plenty of people ragequitting RA teams as it is right now. I can only imagine what it was like before the system was implemented. The system works, so go cry until your ten minutes are up.

Is this the thread where I complain about the mechanism to prevent whiny ragequitting because I'm a whiny ragequitter who got hexed by that very mechanism?
Don't ragequit and there won't be a problem. If you're so 1337 that you can't tolerate playing with all the nubs and build testers who are trying something new, STFU and get back to maintaining your GvG and HA status.
Your inability to play the game as it was designed is your problem, not your team's. If you don't have time to do an RA match, don't go into RA and you won't get hexed. Problem solved.
Except that unless your fellows agree with your assessment and also /report, you also get dinged for an unsupported /report. Kind of makes just reporting innocents pointless since you'll quickly get yourself hexed as well.

The worst idea of the system is the /report command, because its like being guilty till proven innocent. |

Funny, I didn't even know this existed in Guild Wars. Maybe it's because I never leech or abandon my teams.
You should try doing as I do. It makes for quite an enjoyable gaming experience. ^_^

Kassad,your one of the reason they added and THANK GOD they did
Ra and AB sucked without it.
Ppl would leave a RA team if they didnt have a monk war and ele on there team.It F***in' sucked.
and AB ppl would just stand around with there thumbs up there @$$'s at spawn just waiting for match to end or like you said wanting to leave cuz they was losing.
So get over it you cant rage quit on your team anymore.

They should up the dishonored points given by leaving to 10.
You leave, you can't play for 10 minutes.
The matches last like 3 to 5 effing minutes, I'm sure you can wait this long.

the thing they need to do about ra is just add rez shrines to all of the maps that way it would eliminate people who are too stupid to bring a rez sig and runners.
my question is where is my dishonorable title?!?!

If you want high quality pvp, do GvG or HA or TA. Don't come to RA and AB and expect pros.

lot of people mad about those rage Q. and leechers ..so anet made this so we can know who YOU are.

I disagree. Best Idead ever. It used to be HORRIBLE. Everyone ran spike builds with no healing (shadow prison sin was BEAST) they would enter until they got a monk. It was so dumb to have people just leave with no penalty. It just needs to be changed so you dont get dishonorable for leaving roller beetle races or /resign'ing out.

The title makes me lol. The system is fine. The only issues I've experienced is with resigning in RBR. Everything else functions as it should.

I agree with dishonorable. It's the only way to keep people from leaving random arena/snowball/dragon arena when they either don't get the team setup they want, or were trying to sync enter with their friends and didn't get it. Occasionally people who don't deserve it get it, but overall it keeps people from ruining the game completely for other people. And as for leaving so you can save time when everyone else on your team is dead... ugh. Seems like if they all died and you're just running around deciding to leave, maybe you should have been helping more?

Signed.
I've monked my way nearly to g4 (next week or so) and could not agree more. I cannot stand having retards on my team that do no damage at all, cant target correctly to save their lives, have 375 max health, no res sig....or skills from 4 lines. Dont even get me started on the no-loaders and afk'ers. If the timer hits zero plus a little and someone hasnt loaded...i immediately resign and leroy. I could probably start a whole thread on how the last man runner deciding to waste 4 minutes of everyone's time could be fixed.
I refuse to hold idiots like that up for 4 minutes...either win or lose because I'm not going to get a glad point with anyone like that. Typically I have to either leroy the other team, or leave right after a victory because of the dishonorable system. It just makes me spend extra time with teams that have no business being a team.
Dishonorable had good intentions...to stop people like me from leaving nub groups right when we load...but if you're going to do that, you've got to de-randomize it a little to make the matches more even...or enjoyable. Maybe, throw in some logic to not have 3 healers on a team...or not have 3 players with no pvp points in any track on the same team. Make a res skill a requirement to hit "enter battle" in RA.
Maybe i'm just a bitter old monk, but RA definitely needs work done. I wont even start griping about not having an emote while letting nubs BUY one.

^^ What part of "random" is so hard to understand? Maybe if you stuck around more "back in tha day", Grandpa, you could have helped some of the "nubs" get better. If you are so bad ass, why are you scrubbing around in RA, if you hate it that much?
RA is fine. Go look up random in the dictionary. I'm sorry some people lose 3-10 minutes of their lives in a bad match. It's a lot better than elitist marble gobblers leaving when the team didn't fit their mold. They have GvG, TA and HA for you, if you can hack it.

/not signed - I am so pleased that people who feel they have a right to spoil others enjoyment get this - I just wish it was more severe.
Lord Sojar
Dishonor is pretty lame, but is a necessary evil. While leaving for legit reasons (such as a warrior with meteor shower or a monk with mending and heal other) is now impossible, mass leaving to get the perfect team is also impossible. It made Random Arenas random again, and has nearly eliminated leavers. Thank god...
If you don't like it, learn to sync... seriously, all the good players sync.

I think the DH system was a great idea, it doesn't work right all of the time but nothing is flawless. I figure most of the people that whine about it are the little turds that QQ and leave when their's no monk on their team... Or there's four monks... Oh noes random arena is being random!!!11

hahahahaha
Sorry just too funny. Personally, I feel that Dishonorable is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The fact that you're here bitching about it tells me that you must have just encountered it, and not for the first time from the sounds of things. Meaning you either leave a lot or leech a lot, thus I have to pity for you. Cry elsewhere.

Dishonorable was a good idea. I'm not sure if anyone remembers how RA was before the system was implemented, but it was a complete mess. Every team would have a member leave in an attempt to find that perfect team to farm their glad points from.

zzz, JUST REMOVE GLAD POINTS FROM RA.
It solves everything.

Dishonorable is one of the best innovations implemented by Anet!
As i only play ab, not other types of pvp, i only speak for that part.
There is no excuse for leaving an Alliance Battle. The team counts on each member to do its duty. Anet should make Dishonorable more powerful. If some1 leaves the fight they should get a pvp ban for 1 day, not just 5 minutes...
I know lots of u won't agree, but if u go into ab and u have a leaver each time ... u will agree...

If you play TA, Peddler, why are you crying so much about RA?
Face it, as was mentioned before, there are two reasons people bitch about dishonorable in RA: they can't wait the 3-10 MINUTES to get another team, or they farm glad in RA and want it to be as easy as possible for them. These are the same people who, in PvE, love the idea of a win button like Ursan.
Once again, if you don't play RA, you don't have a reason to bitch about RA. So throw that retarded "QQ QQ QQ QQ about RA....Oh, I play TA, silly" stuff out the window.
I see a 4:1 ratio for Dishonorable. At least. That isn't give-and-take discourse. How about a lock on this puppy?
