A letter from a concerned gladiator

Dear Frog of Tyria,

I wish I was writing to you about my love for the game, but a matter vexes me more and more as time passes. It seems that the children of Tyria seem to think it fun to clad themselves in a gladiators armor and enter the Colosseum. As the battle begins, they charge bravely into the arena to do battle, but once faced by an enemy that could best them, they flee from the Colosseum to let their once allies to battle at a disadvantage. The more honorable combatants stay, and stand their ground and are vanquished without any loss of honor. These children have not a courageous bone in their body and know not the meaning of honor. Many a time I have come to aid one of these children, to revive them so they may do battle once again, but their first failure had sucked every fiber of honor and every ounce of courage from them, so only fear lays within them, after which they flee from the arena, never to be seen again. I ask for either for the gates to close behind them once they enter the arena, for a way to chastise these children, or for when they flee, they may not enter the arena once again so quickly. I greatly appreciate your time.

Sincerely,

a saddened gladiator

What? Oh, you're complaining about leavers in RT 4v4? Yeah, it's a problem.

and the sad part is, Most of the time I win in random, it is without without a monk.

By win I mean 10+

And they need to even it out, I hate it when I see teams with 4 warriors, or 2 monks.

but limit the amount of time you can't leave to like 1 minute, because there is times someone on your team will run around in circles for hours.

Use team arena.. you pick who you play with nobody else so if they run off or something alike (not entirely sure what your getting at there) i guess you picked the wrong team

No, I've still seen it happen "multiple times to other teams" in team arenas, even in HOH. its sickening.

keep in mind, error 7 is like the grim reaper.

usually in hoh everyone is on ts/vent so its easier to find out just exactly what happened.

this is a problem that (for me at least) affects 4-4 random arenas mostly, and those are for fun, rather than being serious. just relax and try again
