This is the first MMO I've tried PvP and for the most part I enjoy Warzones. I had been running dailies on my Sent for awhile before rolling a Vanguard tank. That also happened to be my first tank in an MMO. Novare Coast was the first warzone I landed in as tank. Instantly got berated when I showed up in my recruit gear by the ops leader "Oh f*** a noob this won't last long." and I won't repeat what else he said about me throughout the match. I admit I made mistakes but nothing that deserved that much rage. I was still thinking like a DPS and I was ready to give up tanking then and there but my guildies encouraged me to give it another try. Next round was Civil War. I was afraid of screwing up and was really hesitant about what to do and where to go for fear of getting yelled at again. One of the group members just said "Hey. Plant yourself on this side of the node." and continued to teach me how to think like a tank through the whole match. We won and I got 2nd in protections and have ranked high ever since. Go on and yell and scream and throw your keyboard around and say whatever you want to make yourself feel better but being in a Warzone is about working as a group to get things done. You don't help the group when you do that, you only help yourself.

You didn't answer my question. You want these people punished. I am asking how you propose to determine who is ditching for "egotistical" reasons vs. people who have real life emergencies.

I'm just curious, how can the system determine if someone leaves a WZ for "egotistical reasons?"

Do I quit Warzones? No. I stick until the bitter end because I like to learn from my own and other players' mistakes and I have improved my tanking abilities dramatically because of it. On those ones where there's absolutely no way the team can win, I look for personal victories.....how high can I get my prot score, medals, objectives, etc. Do quitters upset me? Not really. This is a game and players are supposed to have fun. If you aren't having fun and find yourself screaming at people in chat, you should do something else. Should there be a debuff? Before I read this thread I would have said "no," but I really like the scale debuff idea. I've had random game crashes, automatic reboots, cats tripping over the power cords and it sucks. Especially when in a final winning match needed for the weekly.
