100,000 isk clone and MCC usage charge. Refunded at the end of battle.

Penalty for switching server?

That would just be another way to screw over newer players who most likely don't even have 100isk, and if you can't even afford to get into a battle you really have no way of ever earning more either.

Maybe increase the payouts for winning and losing too.

where did everyone go!

I understand a few rage quits here & there , because of blueberries don't push or hold points or they keep shooting you in the back or jumping in front of every shot etc , but when everyone says "fruck it , I'm out" and leaves a entire team chasing one red dot far in the mountain tops . I'm like WTF , can't CCP just make a penalty system when a team has under 6 players to forfeit the match & give a minimum payout to those that fought & keep the matches moving ( instead of waiting 15min ) or a lock can't leave battle system after 1st 3minutes . penalty for butt hurt players that quit every other battle should be noticeable . reduce LP or something CCP . they only lost 5clones & all left asap . happens several of times .

Why? If you hold the contract, you get paid. If you decide to leave, you don't get paid.

All the resources that you've used is already coming out of your pocket (fittings), as for MCC costs, the contractor pays for it, so that wouldn't be a fee.

Eh I can't say with how the game is right now the penalty would fly. It's bad enough trying to get into a match right now. Forcing people to stay in the match won't solve any problems, it would just make more people camp in the MCC or stay in the redline because they are forced to stay but gave up. Some times their perfectly valid reasons too. Join a match in progress, why should you stick around for the rest of the 5-10 min of the match when the enemy team is spawn camping the redzone? Just to feed the KDR of the other team?

It's also not uncommon to push the objective, fight a bit and die and find out just how few people your team has when you get to see the numbers on the deployment screen. Wasting your time in a 3 vs 12 or worse match is no fun. People who don't leave those extremely unbalanced matches usually just sit in the red line and snipe anyways. It's about all you can do against those odds other than die horribly.

Plus you have to consider the player base is already shrinking and matchmaking can take forever as it is if you pick anything but public Dom matches. FW can be a joke for certain factions at various times of day and your chances of getting into a Skirm, Aqu and Ambush battle are almost non existent at times. If you applied the most obvious penalty most games would have for leaving, aka unable to deploy to another battle for some timed penalty it would drive people away.


It's not people leaving battle that is causing the problem. It's the fact the player base is so small that not only are matches half empty most of the time with 10-12 people to a team instead of a full 16, but there is rarely any players available to fill in partial teams. Outside of the first minutes of a match rarely do you see any one join a battle in progress. Claiming that they should stick around and take up space is stupid. I would rather people leave than stay and not contribute in any meaningful way.

There is already a penalty for leaving battle btw if you think about it. First off you get no rewards at all. No isk, no SP and none of your kills, hacks, etc seem to count towards your daily missions if you don't complete the battle you were in. In most cases you also wasted a good chunk of your time already just trying to get into battle and deploy before you left, never mind the time you spend in battle before leaving.

Honestly we need the carrot not the stick here. Give people a reason to want to play the game, not try and force them to play it.

Why try to police the game ? I leave matches that are played on grounds that glitch , like the underground where all people do is camp the sides where you jump down onto , with MD's and scramblers , all the while jumping to the back area's laying links because if you don't have bio's you can't reach those places and again , if you don't have MD's you can't do anything about that , people have complained about that for awhile now , I get that ground I leave .

Some people just know the tricks of some maps and don't want to be bothered , it's silly to punish people for that and if you want to police the game then people will just stop playing , I mean .. why go threw the hassle when your already dealing with bugs and glitches that get no attention .

Some just leave like DustPlayer , because they can .. it's their choice , I might not like it but it's their loss in SP's and ISK , who's to say that they would contribute anyway so I think that's enough .. you can't motivate players that don't want to be .

People need to start thinking about others before themselves and see the bigger picture instead of trying to nerf and create restrictions , who's to say your idea's are right to begin with and when you don't think about others and what they might be going threw , you become self-centered and that's a bad attribute .

You ever wonder how over half those matches end up like that people either see a challenge n leave or rage quit mid match which is how allot of people end up joining prematches. Deposit for match to reward those who actually stick it out is completely reasonable.

Ah ha ha! I have seen that dust player leave my team and the enemy team in the same match.

I say GOOD. screw playing the try hards and officer stompers. Hope it teaches you a lesson. I hope no one plays you scrubs and make you leave dust or change your approach and fight with dignity for a change. Serves you right.

wouldn't stop anyone.
do 100,000 SP, however....

make it actually profitable to both stay and participate
