Suppose the companies we are fighting for agree to match the worth of what you destroy.

For example, let's say my team destroyed 10M worth of enemy assets. The company would match the 10M for a total of 20M in layout, distributed based on WP earnings.

Could use some tweaking, but it motivates me to kill more expensive stuff and simultaneously makes me want to run APEX fits so I don't give my enemies money.

Give every person who leaves public matches a Coward badge next to their name, that's first.
Second, we need a punish system for leaving public battles. We could use : you can't enter new battle if the old one didn't end yet, you get put into bad lobby etc.

The Proto stomping in Pub matches needs to end. Here is a thought. In a port split all Game modes into categories. MLT,ADV,PRO and beyond. And make the matches lock where you can't leave once you enter. Because if you enter a match you selected it and are ok with getting Proto reamed. Since it was consensual and all.......
No adjustment of payouts are necessary. No complicated algorithm matchmaker BS.

I support the idea of special contracts for joining matches in progress, likely against pubstompers. I also support the idea of showing the map, friendly and enemy team members and corps, etc BEFOREHAND, so people can choose whether or not to accept the contract. You know, how mercenaries and contracts ACTUALLY WORK.

However, I'm against any kind of "coward badge/lobby/hater penalty/etc". In fact, I like the idea of banning everyone who complains about people quitting matches from the forums. If I want to leave a match to go to the bathroom, or because I don't like playing a certain map, or whatever, that's my right. Try and stop me, and I'll just afk or actively try to screw over my team.

And by improving matchmaking

two consecutive matches

I was the only one actually trying to have fun and kill some proto noobs in a mlt suit and duel flay locks

but I know there's too many cowards that wont agree to that

Today I left a match after the infinite consecutive games where my team acts as a ****** and doesn't even bring uplink to a domination game, balablablabalbalbla (you know how they are) and this time I just didn't feel like playing the logi role blablablbala.

Does that make me a coward? or just smart to leave?

There are different situations, so let's not start suggestions (bad or good) based on two consecutive matches
(and from your text it seems like you weren't squadded at all, so why don't you squad up with like-minded people to increase the chance of quality matches a little for yourself?)


Everyone has his owns way of fun, don't force yours one everyone.

PS: Please feel free to use your "You either agree with me or I'm going to call you names"-free card:


Why did I even bother to respond

So I think it's also fair for you to be demerited or taxed a fee, if you bow out of more than 2 matches per day. This will protect players who honsetly had to leave the controller for a reason---but will begin to make chronic "leavers" pay a price for regularly ducking out.
You pay a cancellation fee for waiting until party starts, to ditch out on everyone, right? And you friends start to remember you as the unreliable participant.

Maybe Loyalty Ranking should drop incrementally, so you'll need to nurse your Ranking.

Maybe the "Show Info" screen on your character should now show a negative number for the number of times you exceeded your "leave the battle" allowance.

Maybe a flat Loyalty Points should reduce by a flat fee in all of the Factions you have standing in, for EVERY match you bow out of, whether it's a pub or FW match you left.

I don't think you understood the premise of the post, however as they say if the shoe fits feel free to wear it

I don't understand why you felt the need to respond in this form not giving any useful information other then an excuse as to why you aren't a coward, as if this post was directed at you

Maybe I didn't, but you kind of undermine yourself when you start a post with these words "In two consecutive matches". You could probably gotten more attention by only focussing and expanding on your last paragraph.



Because I wanted to give a different view that was lacking in your first post but I don't think you understood the premise of my post.
I don't need to defend myself because actually I play quite the opposite of the kind of bullshit that you are trying to sell me here above.

Dust is a game play it however you want to play

Then what bothers you if other players like to leave?

Just get over it that players give up/leave and stop calling them cowards (as that gets you nowhere) because you have no idea why they do it.

PS: I would be surprised i left more than 1% of the battles I played....oooh SNAP.

however you stated that you leave battles when you are getting killed multiple times that makes you a coward as for the players that leave a battle because they get scared they are also cowards

I only leave a battle if my girl or my fam walk in. They take priority. And when I hear the bell letting me know my tacos are done.

But seriously, gf and fam take priority over frustration.

and you tell me I need to be a bit more literate?

If you want people to pay attention to your ideas and not argue with you, maybe you shouldn't make assumptions and condescend to call all or most people who leave matches "cowards'.
