New Issue: In-Fight Arena Team Deletions

[Henhouse]

In has come to our attention, time and time again that people will disband an arena team while in an arena battle. This ends the arena session and no points and deducted or gained. At first I didn't see a problem in this since it was simply a time waster. Player, Mysterious, however provided me with one reason people are doing this --- to attempt to beat teams with high rating and cause them to lose rating. If they are on the brink of losing, they disband so no points are gained to that team.

This is exploitation to the entire arena system. I have quite a few names in fact of people doing this, in which many are donors that could receive 3-day suspensions. However since this was not made official to us we will not press any charges on anyone's account until a in-game quest announcement has been added to the NPC: "Backstab" Bindo Gearbomb. At this time I'm unavailable to adding it but it will brought up soon.

I have reported this to the developer of the arena patch in attempts that he can provide a fix for this and not allow team disbands until after a fight is completed.

I sent a message to the developer. Good news, he wrote back with this:

Hi!
First of all, no need to apologize :)
Thanks for letting me know of this issue, I would have never thought of this.
Currently I'm busy with 3.0.3 support, as soon as I'm done with that, I'll check this out.
Take care!
