Quitters. Something needs to be done.

[Denton`]

Ok dont know if this is right place to post this but hopefully it is

Ok as you know if you quit a Ranked Match you lose 50 points, which is what 2 kills? Which is nothing to stop people from quitting over and over again; and ruining everyones games. Last night alone i played 7ish 17 round matchs and at least 3 of them we didnt even finish and in all of them at least 1-3 people quit. For what 50 points.

Obviously i know people quit because they have to go do other stuff, but why join a high round match.

So anyway my idea is that there needs to be an update making people loose more points (and saying this when its updated so people are aware) and this may make them less likely to quit if they lost 500+ points.

Other ways i have thought and discussed with people ingame, who have approved, is making each Gamer only be able to quit 1 game every 24 hours, This may seem impossible to do but if it is possible to keep peoples gamertags ingame so even if they have left they have to wait until the end of the game before they can play again (so their loss for quitting) even if they are stood still and not being controlled.

Well these are my ideas for cracking down on people who quit and ruin the game, obviously im not a mastermind at epic who can solve it.

So do you Agree? or not?
Should Epic crackdown on them somehow?

I dont mind critism.

Cheers

I just started playing ranked last night and this morning I HAD TO QUIT. One guy quit during the first round. Then another guy on our team started using a glitch to hide on the clocktower map and the next 3 rounds ended up in a draw. Then a second guy quit. So now it's just me and the glitcher. After letting the other team know he's glitching to hide they proceed to try and glitch too. It was set at 14 matches, the score was 2-0 them and we were on round 8. I'm sorry but I wasn't about to wait till EVERYBODY perfected the glitch and hope they get around to finish playing the game.

Maybe they can some how make the penalty stiffer perhaps after the 3rd quit in a certain time span.

Nothing can be done. People quit in other games too.

I agree. the points taken need to be increased. people who quit should lose alot more points so they feel it. 500 maybe

[TT Solidace]

i agree the quitters in gears need a lot stiffer penalty, all tho i am not possitive it will help b/c most people who do quit often don't really care about points, i think it would be nice to see there kills go down for each quit, but that would not be right b/c if someone lags out, so idk but something should be done

Well I posted this same thread once and noone had any real good suggestions.I still stand by my idea.If a game is auto ballanced to start then it should be at its end.If one guy quits the system drops the lowest scoring guy on the other team,no penalty of course.Other wise there is no way to fix it.Just deal with it.Making the penalty larger isnt going to do anything.I have close to 275,000 points whats 500?

[treemonkeys]

Most people who play ranked do it for achievements rather than rank, therefore they don't give a **** about points. You could make quitting take away ALL of your points and people will still do it.

[wonkers]

Quiters should be allowed to leave when ever they want! You're a fool. It only costs 50 pts because no one cares about people quitting in ranked matches.

You should finde more loyal people to play with like your friends.

Oh and if you don't want people leaving be the host. No one ever leaves on the host team. BLAH BLAH BLAH


[That was the entire ignorant speech you get from the losers who do quit. I beat them to it to point out just how retarded they really are.]

Long live ignorance and stupidity! Hey I should go to church and vote for a world tyrant. Where's my ipod? VOIP ...HOW NEW! My cellphone is named after sweet candy yay! Lets all buy name brand clothes at 4 times the regular price from countries that made them for less than a dollar a peice!

RAWR... the stupid beast is let loose apon the world.

[gearsgun]

you could make me lose ALL my points and I would still quit. Points are meaningless in the game. see my other post for more info

[gearsgun]

one more thought -- if somebody quits, replace them with a BOT. keeps the team balanced....;

[Chaseme187]

I Agree. Ive had soo many quiters this week. It is so old, I used to never get them. Now im having people quit the 1st round cause they cant get any kills. I want a more harsh punishment. 500 points Please. We also need a way to see if they were disconnected or actually quit. Cause playing international people can ruin your points if so. Fix that too.. Damn frenchies had me lagging all over the place and im running uber highspeed.

[gearsgun]

why would 500 pts be a harsh punishment? oh, wow, i lost 500 points that have absolutely no meaning, whatsoever!

Believe me, you could take all my points and I would still quit

[epark]

epic should just take the option to quit out of the in-game pause menu. if you commit to joining a room, you should be obligated to stay in it. if you really have to go somewhere, you can just turn off your xbox. if you're quitting, you must have some place important to go right? and this way, if you really wanna be a quitter, your punishment is to wait for your system to reboot and the game to reload. if you drop out of the game because you got disconnected, it'll just take you back to the main menu of the game so no punishment for an involuntary quit. ta-da...

[pappas99]

whynot allow users to join midgame to fill in lost places

[Lord0Link]

Sorry for my bad englich.

But not every quiter is a quiter.
some people get Lagd out by the Host"by blocking there Ip's".
(happend to me alot)
some of them there 360 freezes.(only happend 1nc)

and some people are lame because they leave because there playing on a Long distance Host. for example Amerikan joins european Host and they quit while playing instead of leaving on the pregame lobby.

and some Lame Host people because they end the game because he is losing and can't handle it.
