so I was used to people being cowards in pubs but now even in FW I see some Q syncs that just give up when they see another Sync on the opposite team

I cant believe it does the cowardice never end? at least in FW players keep getting fielded but even then all that join in are bunch of newbros that dont know what they are doing its hard to win a match if I am the only one trying to do anything

if people only play full syncs and even then only stay if there inst any opposition the problems that everyone complains about will only get worse, its pathetic and the DEV's shouldn't have to step in to make things more "balanced"

its getting to the point that the only thing that will fix things is to lock out deserters for x amount of time, you're a mercenary if you accept a contract see it trough to the end

heck i don't even mind losing but its pathetic when I have to go in 1 v 16 because everyone on my team refuses to even step out of the redline, to make things worse in FW you aren't rewarded for your individual ranking instead you either win and get a good reward or lose and get a pitiful reward, if that's the case I have almost no reason to do FW without having to Q-sync an entire match to make sure I don't get stuck with deserters

yep running solo in fw is tough... very observant.... :)

Role play is fun and all, but no one here is a mercenary. You are sitting in front of a screen playing a video game.

As such, if CCP were ever stupid enough to lock out players as punishment for playing DUST how they want, the game would be dead in a month.

P.S.

If players leave matches, it is symptomatic of problems within the games core concepts. This is not the players fault. It's a game after all.

It's CCP's job to provide a game that compels customers to play it, to want to stay in matches etc.

It's CCP job to make players want to play the game, not the players.

I guess you missed the part where I said I don't care if I win or lose, its annoying to not have a team to fight with considering this is a team game

sure I can sync up anytime with another 15 players, but that's not my issue my issue is that people leave matches just because some competition comes along even people that are Q-syncing

Heck I jumped off the mcc and died 36 times = yay and got paid at the end. I also got hatemail. Everyone try it and see if you get hatemail. Some n00b called me out on the forums from dead mans game = boy did that guy took it to a whole new level of rage. Dont worry keq will deal with that pest soon.

I'm sure you make KEQ proud = :)

i get it but, why SHOULD ur team try?
theyre going to lose isk and waste time getting stomped.
they owe you (and whichever faction your in) nothing.

I don't think a overly harsh punishment is a way to go. A carrot is better.

With that said, we are mercenaries signing a contract for a corporation / faction to fight on their behalf. I would not find it unreasonable if we can't sign a new contract until the previous expire, right?

TDLR: If you leave a game, you need to wait until the previous match is over before you can search for a new one.
(Or you can opt to rejoin the same game you left).
This solution would work the same for deliberately leaving and unintended DC.

Your spot is reserved for 1-2 min, before Scotty tires to fill up the game again.

There's no real fix for people leaving other than to blacklist the squad leader / individual for a fixed amount of time. You run into problems with that though because not everyone is leaving bc they're cowards.

I've only quit one FW match as of late and that was because my wife brought our overheating bulldog to me. I was AFK so I just quit so someone else could get in.

it would suck if I was banned from FW for 24hrs bc of that.

I just did it because I was bored

Yesterday I ran ambush for once.... had 4 matches in a row against some carne guys... inall the matches at the end of the match were left 6-8 player.

the thing is they don't even have to try that hard all they have to do is defend but they dont even do that, the only reason I brought this up is because I saw one corp leave two syncs and another sync that I recognized from a certain channel do the same

however it is not everyone that does this in fact one of the matches I did mange to win was due to the help I got from another corp that decided to actually fight back, on their own they would not have won as the match was very close and I can say without a doubt that me going from point to point in a basic min scout speed hacking managed us the victory

I cant carry 15 incompetent players but I can do my best to help those that actually try and hopefully get the victory, I could easily assure victory by going off on my own and doing my own syncs with players that I know are more then capable and just stomp ALMOST everyone but that's not the point I'm trying to make I wont call out any specific corp or player but they know who they are

so u dont mind losing.
and u COULD organize some resistance but u choose not to.


what exactly is the problem?

This has always been going on.
