Re: PvZ GW2 Garden/Graveyard Ops - Hosting a game and then not playing

I've experienced this a couple of times just recently.

It's understandable during  game to have a character "go dormant" for a couple of minutes while the player has to do something else but I've been in Garden ops games just recently where, as you said, the Host is playing a Peashooter or another character that can climb up into some inaccessible area far away from the Garden or Graveyard which was spawned and they sit there the entire game. I've also seen it done by non-Hosts but that definitely requires that they do some little thing every now and again to avoid timing out on the server; I've even been in one game where two people were sitting it out far across the map just waiting for the evacuation phase.

On Normal difficulty I don't mind so much because that just means more vanquishes for me, but when you're playing Hard or Crazy difficulty  having the game spawn enemies for 4 players while only 3 are actively defending is pretty annoying.
