Qitters make me laugh.....

[Lahatiel]

I try not to frown too much on quitters. In the very beginning I got very frustrated a quit a couple of games too and contemplated just giving up completely. I fully admit it! I got over it and started sticking too it and actually started unlocking some planes .

Look at it from their point of view: Some are new (like me) or very young (not like me). Heck, momma might be calling them to do their homework. If you are absolutely blowing someone out then give them a reason to stick around. There is no reason you can't let someone have 1 kill to your 10. Even as much as a no0b as I am; I'll give someone a chance that no one has given me yet. I bet if you will let a quitter think he/she can be competitive in a match they'll start to stick around.

The learning curve of this game is kinda steep from my point of view. I wish I could have run into some of you guys before...I stand to learn a lot.

I'm coming here to attack anyone, it might seem like it though; I understand why and I'll try hard to keep it from coming across that way. I apologize in advance though.

I've played a lot of games in the only two months I've had it. Most were in Arcade where there seems to be more people who will quit because they're get beat and don't think they have a chance. You guys all seem to be throwing a blanket over anyone who quits for any reason.
I've quite quite a few games myself. I've actually quit at least 5 games because I kept dying, 11 deaths in under three minutes in one very bad case. 10 spawn kills(who the computer so graciously gave 7 to someone), complete and under bull in a 10 minute dogfight with 7 people. I quit not because I was losing(I haven't even won half of the games I've finished) but because from the looks of it, it was going to keep happening. So I left the game and sent the host a message apologizing and telling him why I quit.
In a more recent game: my sister let my dog out of the house and kids around here are really bad with animals if you know what I mean. I quit the game because I was worried about my dog.
The game I quit this morning, a 10 minute team battle game on realistic playing with people I didn't know. The people on my team would do everything they could to keep the other team from scoring. I sent one of the other players on the opposite side an apology and he wasn't very happy and his team started doing it as well. I bailed, it's pointless to play a game where you're not having fun because of people playing like that.

The people who quite for no reason other than they're losing suck and need to grow up a little bit more in this respect. The people who seemingly quit for no reason shouldn't be harped on, should be ridiculed because there's a chance that they had a good reason to quit. Not every host who quits does so because they suck or feel "over their head."

There's more I could say but it's already starting to seem like I think I'm better than everyone, which I don't/am not and I think this is a long enough first post This on a PS3 btw.

waaaaaaaoh dude .................. think the point of the thread is really aimed at the ars*eholes who get wasted and quit or a host thats getting his/her ass handed to them on a plate!!


genuine reasons as stated above or like you're house is burning down, there is a power cut or a connection error fine absolutely ive been thrown out many a game that way. Ive quit due to glitch kills too and so have most IMO

but ive been playing the game long enough to know now when and who will just quit and thats that, it sticks out like a sore thumb!!

im no way an expert in any field in BOP and the guys i usually fly with will say so ........... but you can tell who quits for quitting sakes as Panther points out you will always get them!!!

1st game i played in online was a CTA with a guy called ratman ................... doing i got was unreal i was in a blenhiem 23 or so deaths by the end kept at it to the end

Lots of PS3 quitters lately. Nothing worse than 2 or 3 seconds from a hard fought CTA or strike win to have the host (who is on the opposing team of course) quit out.

It's worse than I have ever seen here lately. Out of 12 games tonight I was able to finish 3 because the hosts kept quitting. One host quit when he could no longer out number us and the teams finally evened up...go figure.

If they are quitting on me, and I kinda stink, I can only imagine what you other guys are going through.

LOL good advice shadow. Alternativly keep a note of the quitters and boycot their games. There are plenty of great hosts who never quit. Maybe try some realistic. You get less quitters there. Lots of new players in arcade and it's the new ones who tend to quit. It doesn't bother me any more cos I don't give a fig about the leaderboards
