After the first 3 early exits, every early exit after that is a fine of 100,000 ISK. This will be divided up among the remaining teammates equally at the end of the match regardless of ranking provided they have either 150 WP or a total of 3 kills + deaths. This means people can't stick around and AFK for the free money. They have to participate. That way, the more people who quit, the more it incentivizes those who haven't left to stick around. If everyone but me leaves, I will gladly get my ass stomped into the ground for a 1.5 million ISK payday.

Yeah... i was a bit ragy when I wrote this since I had gone a couple of games with the same ****. I ate a snickers and am a lot better but there has to be some sort of compromise between the players. A bit of half and half because I know a lot of people simply look at an enemy team and leave.

Or maybe not penalties tbh. There could be incentives instead like a multiplier for the payout for fighting in handicapped matches...

It doesnt have to be all stick. I wouldn't mind the carrot if you understand the reference. You know some cream for after you get fcked so hard you can't walk straight for the next two matches

XxGhazbaranxX Eternal Beings 1	Posted - 2015.06.19 04:11:00 - [1] - Quote RANT First off; HTFU I am fcking tired of starting a match with 12 players of which 5 leave immediatley because they such fcking pussies that they don't even want to play the game. Then when you only have 7 left against 16 the team starts rage quitting and filtering out of the match leaving 5 cats to struggle against whole squads. Harden the fck up. Srsly. Play the game and stop pussyfooting around your kdr. No one gives a flying fck whether you have a 4.0 kdr or a .07 kdr. What matters is results and you aint got results if you leave match. I'm mad. To compound this problem, matchmacking is what makes players leave because even if the teams are numerically equal; they will never be equal in skill, buying power or just plain cjones. Spineless fcks. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, you probably have your mother to blame for raising such a fcking pssy. Srly END OF RANT Idea - 0.1 k/dr for each time you leave the match +an additional - 0.1 for each time after the first. So te second time in the day you leave a match you lose - 0.2 the third - 0.3 etc. To be reset at downtimw - 50K Isk for backing out of your contract + an extra 50k for each one after that. To be reset at downtime. 5 minute waiting penalty for leaving a match AKA coward fatigue. Thats right. Your a pssy and a disgrace to the merc community in general. You're bad and you should feel bad. 2 extra minutes for each battleleft after that. Countermeasure for the afk group that will emerge To be given any sp or isk the current warpoint system 5 minute redline timer. If you're in your redline for more then 5 mins then you die. They are paying you to do your fcking job. HTFU Plasma Cannon Advocate

I'm not even talking about the fact that it is impossible to hurt the some enemy. And how about the fact that the part of team was not set up. Every day even more difficult for the public to play. First - fix game. And then impose penalties for exit.

Once trying to play a game isn't some messed up Icelandic torture method, punishments for leaving battle can be added.

But I've been seeing a lot of matches start of with even teams and 1/3 through the match all of the sudden you realize half the team left... I thought at first we were getting uneven matches but a closer look seemed to point out otherwise. People were simply leaving. Anyways like I said. Any fix is a good fix at this point Plasma Cannon Advocate

You know some cream for after you get fcked so hard you can't walk straight for the next two matches . I like the incentive idea as well. If you finish with 13-16 players on your side, no bonus. 10-13 players payments bumped by 50% 6-9 players, payment bumped by 75%, 3-5 players, payments bumped 100%. 1-2 players, pay bumped by 150%. The only problem is this does nothing to keep people from leaving. Without the penalty, the same people will still quit 30 seconds into the match and the same people will stick around to be stomped because od the higher payouts. That is why I figured my penalty. They can even "lore it". You pay 100k to secure your contract. If you fulfill your terms, you get your hold back plus payout. If you don't hold your end of the bargain, you forfeit your holding fee.

I can enjoy some of these matches because I run scout and can hide and hack stuff. But it is usually very frustrating and boring I usually only leave the battle if I don't want to play a particular map ( i.e.: Caldari facility - Domination)

I feel like if someone has one of those missions that requires more than a few wins and they are constrained on time, they are more likely to leave the battle if they feel that it will be a loss.

If there was a scotty error this function would allow that squad to properly deploy and if a player was lobby shopping then you get an effective wait time penalty for that particular game mode. That does not fix the reason why many people quit in the first place. All you do is punish and annoy them, when they are most probably trying to find some measure of fun (which is the entire point of videogames: FUN), or they are just trying to get a key mission completed ASAP. An ACTUAL solution would involve: * Replacing the daily "Win 1 match and get a key" with "Complete a match, winning or losing, to get a key." Missions that involve "Winning" encourage lobby shopping and such, thus contrubuting to quitting matches that look like they will end in loss. * Fix Scotty. Suddenly, squad deploying functions as it should. No workaround. Problem actually fixed. * Tier/matchmaking. Going up against people in proto when you want to mess around in BPO/Militia/STD fits is often not enjoyable to non-masochists. Tiericide. Making STD/ADV suits suck a little less compared to their proto counterparts means that going up against proto users while you are not in proto is an easier pill to swallow, and would result in less quitting. Provide more incentive to sit through a match, fighing other players even when it looks like you will lose and get your teeth kicked in. Such a thing partially deals with Risk/Reward, and more importantly involves game-design 101: Make player want to play. A thing about solutions: they should actually "solve" whatever problem you are looking to fix.

Even if this game wasperfect I am never fond of any system that punishes people for leaving because stuff like real life happens. How bout you take your own suggestion, put on your big girl panties, wash your hair with johnsons "no more tears", HTFU and stop crying about how other people do things differently than you want them to. The match making isn't bad. It actually does it's job but people quit and the game doesn't put people into partially over matches anymore. Ruin other people's fun because you're a quitter? Alright lol. I'm replying to you because yours is the easiest, but this also applies to the OP and thundergroove, probably more than yours. That said, I don't think you understand what freedom of choice means. Maybe you should go look that up before posting asinine nonsense about how you think everyone should do things your way? If your fun can be ruined by someone else then you're doing it wrong and the HTFU comment applies to you. Let me put this in a way you can understand: This is not a job. I have a job and I don't want another one. This is a game. I play this to have fun. If I'm not having fun, then I'm going to leave. It's got nothing to do with trying or not wanting to (for previous comments that refer to laziness) and quite frankly there's this equation to consider: My Fun's Importance > Your Fun's Importance If it comes right down to it, then to hell with your fun. Secondly, punishing people for staying in a game where they are already not having fun, is even less fun. In a game where you have nothing to lose, a la halo some people might stay, because they have nothing to lose. This isn't that game. People have potentially a lot of isk that they will lose by staying and I'll post up another variant of the equation for you below: My ISK's Importance > Your ISK's importance. Thirdly, I'm not a child. You can't punish me because I don't want to play the game the way you think I should play the game. If we want people to stay in a game where (and here's the crucial point again) they have something to lose, then they have to be incentivised as others have said. If you go the punitive route, people will just stop playing. I like some of the incentive ideas. The keys are not worth the paper they're printed on for me, but I'd change all the win x battles to complete X battles. Much more reasonable.

If the contract is crap then why do it especially if you don't have the gear necessary to leave the red line if the match has gotten that bad, like a scout suit for example and you specd into heavies.
