Team Switchers and Quitters need to be punished

I am so tired of this unfair nonsense that is caused by players who simply don't care. And the game should simply treat them how they treat their team.

Punish them. Take their money. Take their Stars. I don't care. Make them suffer. 👿

Everyone with at least a bit of experience in this game should now what happens when the teams become uneven, because people quit after they joined a new round. Instead of quitting BEFORE a new round starts.

But i also blame Popcap and the complainers about a shorter timer during the result screen of each match. If anything it should last longer for people to buy cards, check their Quests, check their stats and then to decide to quit or go for the next match before it starts.

And if you don't know what happens with unfair, uneven teams - my screenshot will explain it all in detail. It also demonstrates perfectly what happens when a new player joins that match and ends up in the wrong team. All in one screenshot. It's magic! 🥳

    This is a casual game. There's no need for further punishments than not getting the coins for the match.

    That's why the leave. You can switch teams only if they are balanced, no if there are 1 more player on the other team.

    If there was an option to only play as plants or zombies I suspect it would greatly reduce the number of team switchers.

    Why are you even here when you think the game is already ruined?

    You can't really control when, or why, players will quit a session but the fact is that sometimes Life Happens while you're in the middle of the game and you need to step away for awhile.

    What I would like to see is a limitation on Team Switching; right now the only thing which stops you from moving from one team to another is a lack of open slots on the opposing team. I've played FPS games in the past which wouldn't allow switching teams if the teams were already unbalanced, so a player on Team A couldn't join Team B if Team B already had one extra person.

    I know there's a lot of players who only want to play Zombies or only want to play Plants but a measure like that would stop the crazy unbalances from being caused by players swapping teams. I know that the system itself will eventually add more players to the undermanned team but the time it takes for it to even out can be really frustrating.

    I refuse to play Zombies. Dont want to join the dark side. I like living things, not dead derpy Zombies 🙂
    I would love an option to only play one team.

    Because i like the game but that doesn't mean i have to ignore all the problems it has. There are quite a few things in this game that i disagree with and stuff that can really ruin the experience for most people that the first game did right.
    Punishing people by taking away their income is just going to push more people away from the game when it's already stingy enough with the amount of coins you earn from matches vs the costs of the packs and the drop rates, having silver-gem versions of everything to make you grind up more coins, the unnecessary drop rates of legendary ect. (keep in mind a lot of kids play this game)
    The main problem is that they are trying to make this game like a light version of Destiny which not a lot of people were a fan of though the devs themselves seems to be big fans which is fine but that game isn't liked by so many people for a reason.

    Taking away coins and stars matter not to those who have played this game since it came out. Nor would decreasing a player's rank since half of the GW2 players don't even care about max levels. They only play their favorite characters.

    Sure I hate players who switch team in the middle of a game. Yes, I also dislike it when players leave causing in balance.

    But how do we know they switched on purpose too. Before the start of the game, the server puts players on opposites to full equal rosters.

    And when the game is being played, sometimes the server disconnects you.

    How do you know if they are flippers or quitters?
