    People leaving wz is now out of control.

    in PvP

    Posted · Edited by zanthal

    The big question here is "Why should I be punished for leaving a match when I'm playing with people who are clueless about their class or how to PVP?".

     

     

    I can't really argue with that. But those clueless ones and the lousy play they exhibit, will always exist. It's a given, so you're still talking about the problem, and not the solution.

     

     

    the only real solution I can think of, is rated PVP.

     

     

    We should have rated WZs, and non-rated WZs, with significantly better rewards for the rated ones.

     

     

    Even though I'm sure it's been discussed and maybe even hinted toward or promised in future updates, I'm not holding my breath.

     

     

    In the mean time, I'm still pretty sick of what's going on lately, which is as soon as one team starts to not totally dominate a WZ right out of the gate, half the team quits.

     

     

    I'd rather be "punished" by having to put up with egotistical perfect PVPers and keyboard smashing morons, and 90% of the time, finish the warzone with those that started it. The clueless would probably learn something and be less annoying the next time around, and :eek:, the super elite might learn a little humility.

     

     

    and I am not pointing any fingers at anyone in this thread, btw

    You've deliberately reversed cause and effect and you know it.

     

    Rated play will probably solve this, if they ever actually implement it.

     

    But rated play or not, "bad" players or not, I think a nice long boring two hour wait if you "Leave Warzone" is perfect.

    We need a fix. I don't see any other way besides applying a penalty. A 15 minute debuff preventing queueing for more warzone seems like the most reasonable suggestion so far.

     

    It's totally within the power of the code heads at Bioware to tell the difference between a DC and a manual "Leave Warzone".

     

    I think that if you "Leave Warzone", you shouldn't be allowed to re-queue for 2 hours. 15 minutes and 30 minutes isn't enough of a deterrent.

     

    WZing is a team sport, and I see people jump into warzones all the time just to see if the team is winning. If they're not winning, they leave.

     

    The way things are now, it doesn't promote competitive play, and gives all the credit spammers and power levelling service dips out there a better way to farm the game.

     

    I've already gotten offers a few times via game mail and PM to buy credits, and it's just gonna get worse.

     

    This game is a complete drag once hitting 50 at its current stage. It just isn't fun, and when a hobby (video game) becomes the anti-thesis of its sole purpose, its time to look at different avenues. So I can see why people quit when the game is going sour, it's a complete waste of time if you are not going to win and be farmed. 35 Comms for a 15 min game? Woopdyyy-dooo. Twenty games later I can buy ONE champion bag, or 1/3 a piece of Centurion gear or 1/5th a piece of Champion gear.

     

    I hear you, but this is an MMO, all MMOs are hugely time consuming to progress, that's just the genre.

     

    Letting people quit WZs one after another is making the game worse.

     

     

     

    I think this thread completely boils down to this.

     

    A. Stayers are mad because they lost when a leaver left. They want a deserter penalty to prevent it.

     

    B. Leavers left because they knew that the game was lost already.

     

    Then its stayers calling leavers selfish because they want them to participate in a battle they don't want to stay in.

     

     

    So are you saying the game should support game play of "If I'm not winning, I quit" ?

    Dun care if anything in this thread has been mentioned before ... unless it's been addressed or fixed, I hope they get repeated a thousand times.

     

    Please, let us remap the " \ " key away from it's current permanent state as a customer service ticket creation button. I've accidentally hit that button so many times, I'm considering altering the registry on my PC to disable the key.

     

    Chat tabs shouldn't reset to General every time you zone anywhere. they should stay where they were before.

     

    In the huge list of crafting schematics, sort options should stay the way they were before, but reset to default every time you log out.

    I wish it were that easy. I have gotten 9 different types:

     

    Leadership

    Anti-Armor

    Critical

    Redoubt

    Overkill

    Fervent

     

    and the last 3 escape me. I guess it's kind of cool that we have the variety but it's kind of ridiculous if you're trying to get the proper stats that you want. I believe overkill gives crit and surge (could be wrong) and those are the stats I personally look for. I'm thinking it will be quite some time before I get the level 49 epic ones that I need.

     

     

    Getting max level in crafting is really easy and quick ... where crafting becomes time consuming is the schematics. It's a pretty interesting way of balancing the difficulty.
