We are unable to remove the Dishonorable Debuff. I’m sorry if you’re having issues, but it’s best to not risk playing matches if your connection is in question, for your benefit (to avoid the dishonorable gameplay flags) and for that of your team.
Incidentally, we’re not aware of any general connectivity issues from Belgium, so that sort of points to it being local on your end.

Wow. Apparently there is an ongoing issue. Don’t you just hate it when a vendor, company, whatever says its not them, that it is you when it is happening to multiple people from the same area, country, locale?
Yeah I know demerit time most likely but come on how many times have any of us been told this and it wasn’t true?
Because welcome to the internet where the problem might actually not be on Anet’s end but on some connection side that is outside of Anet’s troubleshooting control. It’s very possible that since it’s a certain location issue, there is a node out that needs to be fixed and it’s not something Anet can fix as it’s not theirs in the first place.
Thank you for the clarity and accuracy of your comments!
I cannot see any indication that we are having server issues in a general sense. From every available fact, the issues that you are having from Belgium seem related to issues somewhere between you and your ISP and the Internet as a whole. But I do know you’re having problems and I responded in this thread asking for a few details to help us review.
As a player, I would be contacting my ISP first to try to find out what’s going on on their end. And I confess I’m not a technical support expect and I will fact-check my thoughts after I post. But it seems to me that if there were issues for Belgian players, there would be issues for players in France, Italy, Serbia, Germany, Norway,… for every European player because you all connect through the same data center. Doesn’t that point to an issue somewhere within the Belgian infrastructure, something that can and should be investigated there? On the other hand, I don’t know that for sure.
(All love and respect to Belgian players, btw. You guys and your country truly are awesome!)
