I am so sick and tired of people quitting matches! This is getting ridiculous. Enough is enough. I don’t know if its an issue with you, my fellow players, but it’s impacted me to the point to where I feel like I need to make a post about it. Its absurd, over half the matches I played today, featured some person who quit. This is so frustrating…Why queue up in a lobby, wait for the game to load then quit mid way through?! Why waist your own time like that?! What, you didn’t like the map that was selected?! You didn’t get your favorite power weapon on the map?! Give me a break…Doesn’t matter the circumstances, winning or losing, my team or the opposing, someone would, without fail, quit the match. I can’t say just how much fun it is to get into a game, play pretty evenly, then begin to notice a sharp increase or decrease in kills, then look at the lobby and realize JaCkHoLE1995 has up and abandoned the match. Game wasted! No more “5 Minute” penalty on your 2nd or 3rd quit. Please increase the severity of punishment to quitters. Lets begin to deter this sort of behavior! 1 hour, 2 hours, whatever. Make it so no one will have the balls to say “-Yoink- this man, I’m out.” Enough is enough. Time to send a message.
I hate quitters just as much as you but increasing the ban time for quitting is just going to make the game more stressful I already almost have a heart attack every time I get disconnected from the servers (not my fault my Internet is pretty good sometimes the servers can be wonky}
I feel a better punishment would be to match quitters with each other and other delinquents like rampant betrayers and other bad sports
I couldn’t agree more man, the amount of times I’ve started a game just to have someone on my team quit is ridiculous. Even when it’s on the enemy team i take it easy on them to be fair. Quitters ruin the game and the experience. It’s something that’s been happening for a while but latley it’s getting out of hand. I had one dude suicide and quit at the very start of the match, we lost by one point. We could have won that. It makes it more frustrating when you play solo and keep getting matched with these people. It makes it increasingly difficult to rank up. But besides that, quitters should have a harsher ban time. I understand if you’re connection cuts out (happens to me) but there is no valid reason for quitting.

I’ve talked about that since they announced the Quit-Time-Out in Reach (Never been banned, only ever got a warning in Reach).
I think it’d be a good solution, many in the ban thread would prefer it over not being able to play. Of course, no stats should be recorded and no rewards given, to prevent the possibility of abusing the system. It should also be so that a few consequtive clean matches would put you back in the normal.pool.
Depends on the gametype, but yes it can. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of server disconnects that happen just enough to make it difficult to tell the difference between quitters and just bad syncs.
So, we’ll leave the specifics to their topics and Locke the rest.
