Hello,
Per your patch notes on 12/9 for game update 6.2 "Leaving a PvP Challenge early will no longer apply any PvP deserter penalties"
However, if you leave a match early either intentionally or accidentally (d/c etc), you still get a 15 minute deserter penalty.
This is problematic for a number of reasons,
- primarily, that there are many kill farmers who do not care about the objective, and will repeatedly kill you over and over, and intentionally lengthen the game so as to pad their numbers. This makes pvp less fun for those of us with day jobs who don't have the flexibility to play video games 80 hours a week.
- Disconnects happen, and particularly for people who are free to play, or like myself who are working two jobs while in grad school, having a 15 minute timer across my legacy, means I can't do anything pvp related on any character.
- It is punitive to those of us who want to play the game and complete our weekly and daily quests when we are stuck in a hypergate for 20+ minutes.
Myself and other in the community have put in tickets, but we have been not so kindly referred to the community forums.
Is the expectation that deserter penalties will be removed in the future as is indicated by your 6.2 (and after) patch notes?
Myself and my friends who play the game would most appreciate your time and atttention regarding this important matter.
Sincerely,
A subscriber, a pre-order, beta testing, progression raid, valor 90+ player.
