This is getting ridiculous. You start a battle with both sides having about equal number of players then within 2 minutes half of them leave. For the team where people leave its awful because it is damn near impossible to win and if you put an effort you will get your rear end handed to you. If you are the team with the most player then the battle gets boring.
I suggest imposing a fine for leaving battle early. 300,000 isk sounds about right to me. The idea here is that you are under contract and violating that contract just like in real life means some sort of penalty. Ofcourse I already know most of the arguments against this idea. for example:
#1 what if one of the squad members doesn't deploy as it often happens? A: give a 1 minute limit. If you leave withing the first minute of the match then there are no penalties. a second after that will cost you 300,000 isk.
#2 What if I get kicked out of battle? A: This one is a valid concerned as internet connections are unreliable. but, how many times are you going to get disconnected during the day. I think loosing 300,000 isk once a day or maybe twice a day for long playing binch is not that bad. I definitely loose more than that puting up a good fight because the other scrub berries leave. Its a small sacrifice.
#3 What if I'm playing and something come up that needs me to leave the game early. A: It's a game, not real life. Just like when your clone gets killed nobody really dies loosing 300,000 isk is not going to deplete your real life bank account.
#4 300,000 isk seems too much. A: Its about what you would make in about 2 battles depending on your performance. The number has to be high enough to make people think twice before leaving but, low enough that it doesn't punish you for legitimate reason for abandoning battle. |

Most people play a game for fun. If they perceive that a match won't be fun (i.e. They will be stomped), then they won't play (they leave battle).
Impose a fine as suggested and, given the model of this particular game, many may stop playing altogether. Is an even smaller playerbase what you seek?
Uneven matches are frustrating but fines for leaving battle won't fix that. Consider basic human nature; therein lies the key to success of incentives or disincentives to remain in battle. |

I kind of like the idea of the fine on grounds of violating a contract.
So long as that isk doesn't go *poof* and is paid out to the teammates that are left behind, as well as any isk earned during the battle by the deserter. It would actually add incentive to stay in the match as well as to not leave it.
"Your loyalty will be rewarded." Becomes even truer.
It would also become a gamble regarding DCs, power outages, etc. Sucks when it happens to you, but when you play a full match all the way to the end the payout will be huge.

Last night we had 8 v 11 and we still won.
Sometimes people back out cuz someone didnt make it into battle. So you are gunna punish thoes who back out to pick up a team member?
Backing out of a stomp is encouraged for obvious reasons and if more than half the team leaves then just back out. You are probably not going to back out of every game but most of the battles that people backout from these days are fun battles.

What do you do if someone simply doesn't have 300K? Force them to negative? Great way to treat a noob when he gets enough of stomping.
And adding a fine will just cause people to sit in the MCC when they've had enough. Or find another way around it. It won't make people fight, there's no incentive to fight against all odds.

I (many otheres, I suspect) fully agree with you, Luna.
NOT about the "darn-near impossible to win when so many players have left your team" part (...because half of the time at least 30% of the players don't know enough yet to help you win---or never intended to "help fellow players" at all in their matches....so it's no advantage if that 30% leaves or stays anyway, LOL).
But I do agree with a "consequence" being designed for those who Leave-Battle. And it should be a Payout-v-Action equation similar to all the RISK-v-Reward concepts that an Eve game is based on. You want to kill with the bigger gun---you must take the risk of losing more from your wallet if you get killed carrying it. You want to mine the more lucrative Ore---you're going to have to take you ship out to the most dangerous 0.0 areas of space to mine it. You want to Leave-Battle? When Aura does tell you "you are contractually obligated to enter the Burnzone"? Everyone should be allowed to Leave-Battle two times a day--no questions asked, no penalty.
But on your THIRD Leave-Battle of the day, you should pay a Contract-Tax. The tax can be 10,000 point deduction in your "Loyalty Points" (which over time will cause you to drop in Rank that controls your trading/bonus %'s).
The Tax can be a deduction in LP in the Loyalty Store (perhaps only the LP for your default Race gets reduced---the other 3 race-LP stay the same).
The Tax can be some kind of Player-Rating scheme (a DED-standing that appears in you Character Info screen for others to see, and rates you as 'High-Loyatly'---'Steady-Contract'---'Low-Contract'---"Criminal-Flag', depending on how many Leaves per week you perform.
OR, the Tax can be ALL of these things simultaneously, all occurring in the background, so that you are not readlily aware of the damage you are doing to yourself until you decide to look and YIKES, you see what a mess you've made of your game standing.
Also note, all four suggestions are MODERATE enough so that a player has some wiggle room to count how much great standing she's got, and she can still CHOOSE to Leave-Battle X-number of times a week at the cost of X-amount of Tax against her.
In New Eden, you should still have the freedom to abandon your team and Leave.... just so long as you Pay something for the freedom, like you pay for everything else in this galaxy (err, star cluster, or whatever it is)

^
I have made this point every time someone who doesn't understand incentives comes in with the same penalty suggestion.
It won't work. It might make you briefly feel better because you are seeking some sort of justice or vengeance, but it doesn't fix a broken game, and you will be the same person to complain about how poor games are and nobody plays while it was your poor suggestion that hastened the end in the first place.
The games aren't fun, and no amount of of penalty or reward for staying will make people stay if they aren't enjoying themselves.
You have to understand why people are leaving and fix those problems directly if you want to improve the long term health of the game.

What a joke, people leaving and not being put into battles when they are needed has been a problem for months. Frankly i'm tired of people trying to cover up CCP's incompinence when it comes to developing a game with good performance. A year ago taking money from a player for leaving battle would'nt have even been a topic of conversation, because they were being replaced in battle, gg CCP. Add to the fact that CCP took developers from Dust to go work on one of several projects that will be coming out, it looks bleak imo. I think also if you look at the state of the game and the lack of attention it's getting, well...
Only your complete and total awareness is needed, nothing else will do. ----- OSHO

Fines don't mean much to those that been around a while. I would think an automatic loss should be counted. Afterall, most seem to care more about their stats than their ISK (which is laughable but true).

I'd pay a 1,000,000 ISK fine if it meant I could leave a terrible match.
But if it ever got to a point that I was poor because I didn't want to be bored, I'd just quit playing. |

There is the biggest issue. The payouts are obviously not big enough to make the effort worth it for some. A big fine for leaving and really big reward for staying and participating are necessary. Then tweak the dials until you find the happy medium.
Risk/reward via asset loss is one of the things that sets Dust apart, but they have seemingly ignored tweaking those dials as long as I can remember. I beat the "raise the payouts" drum from a soapbox at least twice a month for a few years.
They should look at PC as a competition mode and not necessarily the most rewarding mode in regards to difficulty level. It is such a small percentage of players that have participated in PC at any stage of Dust. People have always cried that public contracts should be casual, but they've devolved into garbage. All modes became so garbage that everybody just plays Domination, that way they don't have to go very far or put in much effort. |

GǪand watch people say "screw it" and stop playing the game.
All that is needed is match slots like World of Tanks does with tanks. You can leave a match, but that tank remains unavailable until that match is over. You have to buy and use another tank if you want to play another match.

No?
Because it is an equally stupid idea.
RL penalties carry more weight because they are real. This is a f*cking game. Its not real. Its money isn't real. The only thing real about it is the fun or frustration people have playing it, and the time they spend playing it.
If you impose a ridiculous penalty, people will NOT STICK AROUND AND PLAY!!!
Get it through your thick skulls.
They are leaving because they are not having fun (or having technical problems), both of which have more REAL meaning than the penalties you want to create.
Penalties will be inneffective for anything other than driving people away from the game. Rewards for staying and playing despite being on a losing team, and despite entering the battle partway through are your best and most effective options.
And even that is not a silver bullet.

Ya know, the people I see leaving battle the most are usually squads of people who have been playing for 1-2 years - mainly polish - they prefer stomping noobs who can't fight back. |

The number has to be high enough to make people think twice before leaving but, low enough that it doesn't punish you for legitimate reason for abandoning battle. This will affect people who are broke
Well maybe if they didn't give up all the time and learned how to fight they wouldn't be broke.

The only thing real about it is the fun or frustration people have playing it, and the time they spend playing it. If you impose a ridiculous penalty, people will NOT STICK AROUND AND PLAY!!! Get it through your thick skulls. They are leaving because they are not having fun (or having technical problems), both of which have more REAL meaning than the penalties you want to create. Penalties will be inneffective for anything other than driving people away from the game. Rewards for staying and playing despite being on a losing team, and despite entering the battle partway through are your best and most effective options. And even that is not a silver bullet.

If you are the team with the most player then the battle gets boring.
I suggest imposing a fine for leaving battle early. 300,000 isk sounds about right to me. The idea here is that you are under contract and violating that contract just like in real life means some sort of penalty. Ofcourse I already know most of the arguments against this idea. for example:
#1 what if one of the squad members doesn't deploy as it often happens? A: give a 1 minute limit. If you leave withing the first minute of the match then there are no penalties. a second after that will cost you 300,000 isk.
#2 What if I get kicked out of battle? A: This one is a valid concerned as internet connections are unreliable. but, how many times are you going to get disconnected during the day. I think loosing 300,000 isk once a day or maybe twice a day for long playing binch is not that bad. I definitely loose more than that puting up a good fight because the other scrub berries leave. Its a small sacrifice.
#3 What if I'm playing and something come up that needs me to leave the game early. A: It's a game, not real life. Just like when your clone gets killed nobody really dies loosing 300,000 isk is not going to deplete your real life bank account.
#4 300,000 isk seems too much. A: Its about what you would make in about 2 battles depending on your performance. The number has to be high enough to make people think twice before leaving but, low enough that it doesn't punish you for legitimate reason for abandoning battle. This will affect people who are broke Well maybe if they didn't give up all the time and learned how to fight they wouldn't be broke.
Lol, hear at folks? This game is important enough that you shouldn't just give up and get back to reality. You MUST get better and prove your worth with a pixelated virtual gun.

Perhaps you get X "freebies" each day that you are not penalized for. This could help account for issues beyond the player's control like power or PSN outages. Beyond that you have some kind of penalty; temporary ISK reduction from public contracts or something similar.
Usually solutions to problems like this are one part carrot and one part stick, is all I'm saying.

You could also then reward those at the highest rates more significantly, while also varying the penalty so only the mercs most abusing the system are greatly penalized.
That being said, I think we are beyond more complex and nuanced solutions at this point in Dusts life cycle, as we can't even get much other than silence at this point.
I believe an over simplified reward system would be more effective than an over simplified penalty system.

I believe an over simplified reward system would be more effective than an over simplified penalty system. All of this reminds of WoW's rested experience system.
Many moons ago WoW had an XP mechanic that after X experience your character would get tired then only gain 50% XP from quests and killing monsters. You had to log out to slowly remove the penalty, and if I recall correctly, logging out in an inn removed the penalty faster.
Players HATED it. Blizzard decided to flip the penalty to a bonus. Everyone started in a normal experience gain state, then if you logged out your character would accumulate "rested" XP which caused you to earn XP 50% faster. Logging out in an inn filled your rested XP quicker.
Players liked rested experience a lot.
The end result was the exact same though: playing for too long caused your character to gain XP more slowly.
We can have the match bonus as so damn good that opting to leave a match before it's over is just plain silly. That might remove the need for a penalty entirely.
...but yeah, we might as well be theorycrafting about the ceiling tiles in HL3 at this point. What we're talking about isn't going to happen in the current iteration of Dust 514 (PS3).

Impose a fine as suggested and, given the model of this particular game, many may stop playing altogether. Is an even smaller playerbase what you seek?
Uneven matches are frustrating but fines for leaving battle won't fix that. Consider basic human nature; therein lies the key to success of incentives or disincentives to remain in battle.
Those same people who leave battle because it's not fun for them to face a challenge that could allow for them to become better in this game have no problem staying in a match when they are the ones stomping the redberries.
Due to such blatant hypocrisy I say those people can go **** themselves or go play a new game.
Their unwillingness to push themselves to become better at this game has a negative impact on the gameplay experience of everyone else.
I recently started playing Domination again. A couple of days ago I started a match with full teams on the train map. I ran straight to the objective, killed a couple of redberries, and hacked the objective before I was slaughtered by 8 redberries who jumped me. As I was about to spawn in again I noticed over half my team had already quit the match and the remaining blueberries made no effort to actually make it to the objective.
I find myself playing this game less and less now because I am getting tired of dealing with being ****** over by my own teammates. Dust514 has given me a very negative perspective on gamers and how they view and work with a team.
I am currently looking around for a new competitive FPS game to play that is solo player oriented.

I agree with this except for the part about the people being Polish. I don't know how to identify Polish people in this game.

Constantly stomping players does not help'em improve. If you want us to stop leaving battles stop using pro dropships, tanks officer/peoto in pubs vs randoms. I suggest we help proto stompers find other game modes, like fw and pc. Also, i wonder how proto stompers have so much isk to constantly go negative in pubs . Proto stompers may gets lots of kills like 25/5, but where did you get all that isk to lose 5 proto suits in a game mode that will pay roughly 300k isk |

Actually if you sacrifice some good gear and actually try to win a battle.. payouts are from 500k - 1mil
But what would you know about trying to win a battle ???

Everyone I think has had to leave battle for a many number of reasons at one point in time, we are only human and we have needs and emotions that will inevitably come first.
That being said I never saw anywhere near close to the amount of people leaving battles back in beta as I do in game today so something needs to be done. |

^ This is pretty much how I read what you typed.
I commented on this topic in another thread. So I'll just paste it here what I said.
While I generally like the idea of rewarding for staying, you never addressed one of the primary reasons people leave. Being completely outmatching or people they know they simply DO NOT WANT to play.
So long as CCP allows full groups that have wallet'ed their way to never use anything but protos and match them against people who have barely completed the academy people are going to quit. And implementing your 'stick' won't help the already dropping player base. Even with a drawback such as the one you mention i'm going to still quit out of games against teams that in general are simply not fun to play against. (stares at S.K.I.L.L. OF G.O.D. still have yet to have a lagswitch free game against this team).
I don't understand why CCP thinks the same metric of "anyone can fight anyone" from eve would carry over to a FPS. In eve yes a rookie player in a frigate can take on a battleship from an old guard member because the battleship will not be able to hit it. An older member in dust will always be able to rofl stomp a newbie . If they were going to do something they need to have this game group members by average suit value per kill. |

I don't believe in imposing fines on those who leave the battle as all it will encourage is just AFKing in the MCC or somewhere on the ground with a rubber band on their controller so that the server won't be able to sense inactivity.
To me, the better option has, and always will be, incentives for completing a match as well as winning.
Jadek Menaheim had an idea in place that utilized the personal warbarge for creating cumulative rewards that stacked more and more with every consecutive match you completed up to a maximum. The more consecutive matches you finished, the bigger the ISK and SP earnings and maybe better chances to getting good salvage. And if you win consecutively, your ISK and SP earnings go up even more. However, your earnings multiplier resets back to normal as soon as you leave a match before it finishes and you will only earn the base amount of ISK you earned for the time spent on that match you left. Jadek's idea takes full advantage of the upgrade features of the personal warbarge.
Another alternative is to introduce a permanent Daily Mission (just like the daily key) that rewards you with a lot of ISK and SP for completing a set number of matches in a row for that day without leaving. Win a set number of matches in a row to maybe earn a key or booster. PC battles would not count towards these particular daily missions but they would count toward pubs and FW.
Make the rewards worth it and you will see players get motivated to finish the fight. Punishment will only encourage them to leave more.

PS: If by any chance someone gets disconnected or gets scottied, a feature should be implemented that allows you to rejoin the last match as long as it is still in progress and as long as you get back in within the next 3 minutes. If you wait longer than that to rejoin, your consecutive multiplier resets to zero and your spot in the roster gets opened up for the next player to join in mid-match. This is so that anyone who gets momentarily disconnected by accident or gets scottied gets a brief chance to get back in without having to get the rest of the squad to leave the battle (if they are in a squad).
But you can only join that last match in progress during those 3 minutes. You can't simply join another match. ^

Since the fined idea seems to be unpopular how about the following.
Give a surrender option. The idea is that under certain condition you can choose the surrender option. If enough people accept then the game ends and all players get whatever they earned up to that point. I think there should be limits to what enables the surrender option. For example, only if there is a huge mismatch of players like say 6 vs 11 and maybe only after the MCC shields have been depleted. |

Firstly the matchmaking system AKA "scotty" needs a complete rework.
After scotty knows how to balance a goddamn team then we can remove the leave battle option so the only way or leave is by relaunching dust.

It is actually both the lack of incentives to finish and/or win the matches and the lack of proper matchmaking. You and I cannot honestly say that it's either one or the other that is causing problems. Even if the noobs who are getting protostomped manage to win the match against a team of protos, they can only earn a minuscule amount of ISK and SP for the large amount of ISK they had to sacrifice to get that win. In other words, a net loss instead of net profit under the current system. That is bad motivation.
But the main problem with the current matchmaking system is the lack of available players. The only reason matchmaking worked well in some of the earlier builds is because of the high player count we had. The system had enough players back then to function properly. But unfortunately we have lost a lot of players either due to the Rouge Wedding at Fanfest 2014 or because of the aging PS3 system which is likely to see an end to production this year or both.
So if you really want good matchmaking, we need to move to either the PS4 or to the PC. Either way, it's better than in the PS3.
