Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 9	Posted - 2015.06.24 11:20:00 - [1] - Quote Since we seem to have a nightmare epidemic of people being intimidated by the spectre of actual competition in their never-ending drive to boost their KD rating, I propose the following deterrent measure. First time you leave battle in a day: no penalty. this is to account for the fact that some people DC and some squads legit lose a member every so often. Second offense: -30 kills from your weekly/monthly/lifetime KDR ratings. Third Offense: -50 from your weekly/monthly/lifetime KDR ratings. Fourth offense: -70 from your weekly/monthly/lifetime KDR ratings. and so on and so forth. Fight like the rest of us. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Simply then stay in battle and not do anything. Moreover I don't really like arbitrary punishments like this, not really in the spirit of New Eden as I see it. The game is becoming ******** because people won't stay and fight at all. Health of the game FIRST, New Eden is SECOND. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.

Changing mechanics and conventions to make sense in infantry operations is not "Pushing new eden to the back" It's not using naval warfare as a baseline example how infantry and ground vehicles should operate.

Health of the game FIRST, New Eden is SECOND. Yes, because negative reinforcement is always a better solution to behavioral problems. What world do you live on again? In the past, before matchmaking was implemented, people left quite often in a match, yet the match would replace that one man down fairly quickly. Now though, you are lucky to get a single replacement. Maybe start there, and quit blaming it on KD padders. the replacements were disabled after a set period because the forumgoers were more or less unanimous that we didn't want to be dropped into matches in progress after a certain point. we asked for that aspect of matchmaking and rattati obliged. That's our own fault. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Since I'm a greedy, mercenary sh*t i'd have the option turned on all day long. My problem with getting dropped in late is entirely the fact that you really have no chance at a good SP reward or a good ISK/salvage reward I just don't give a rat's ass. I'll shoot at Negative Feedback, Outer Haven and all of them all day long. I don't care who's on the field. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.

I wanted to see how many people would make outraged responses about how they should be able to back out of fights they feel are stacked against them. I was not disappointed. And yet I was disappointed all the same. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

That way, your kills and deaths are always saved after the match, regardless if you leave prematurely. It leaves people the freedom to leave if they wish (because I myself have been in matches that were worthless - beyond hope. At which point it was my choice to abandon the client hosting the mission and refuse ISK reimbursement.) The notion that your KDR isn't saved if you leave a match before it ends is rediculous as I am sure there are people who abuse the mechanic to their advantage. How do we fix team imbalance? I'm at a loss. But I think my suggestions negates punishment idling over you (there's punishment in other games and I -really- don't like punishment), but keeps in place recording your kills and deaths. Is this method feasible? It's saved, that sht was fixed WAAAAAY back in the day. Kills and Deaths get added to your permanent record when they happen. You can't artificially pad your stats by leaving. the reason people leave when you blast 'em is they don't lose the fit if they punk out before you terminate the clone. So remember kiddies, put a bolt pistol round through every corpse you come across. If they're planning to leave they're probably running an officer fit under that SKIN. I also like how a half-serious tongue-in-cheek shtpost actually turned into something somewhat constructive. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.

Incentivizing people to stay in already-started matches would be good too. One solution mentioned would be higher WP rewards for ganking higher meta level gear. And for those of you not paying attention this started off as a trolling sh*tpost that seems to have grown into something constructive. Keep the ideas coming.

I have been the only man left on my team before and I just giggled and killed as many as I could in a last act of defiance and enjoyed the full match payout that would normally be divided among a team. But my actual problem with this behavior... Is it makes everyone else not want to play. If no one plays I have no one to gank with an AHMG. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.
