Random arena is famous from players leaving their parties, because "no monk", "4 mesmers" or any other reason. This destroy the fun of play this arena by normal players. My two ideas how to reduce this behaviour.

1) Make a new title "coward" or "leaver"
Each leaving a party before the end of a battle add point for this title. After gathering a certain number of points, player receive this shaming name. The title is assigned to the account and cannot be hided by player. After certain time or certain number of battles with friendly behaviour, points are slowly decreasing, so the player is not punished forever. In this way "leavers" will probably have really big troubles to be invited to any party in TA, HA or even in PvE.

2) Lower factions reward
Leaving a party before the fight is finished effects in not receiving factions by a leaver in next few fights.

How would you deal with people who leave because their teammates neglected to bring a res? Because that's a perfectly legit reason to leave, imo...

If they added that that tittel it would be something I'd certainly go for

1)It MIGHT make it hard for the person to get in a group for TA/HA/PVE but still the reason the whole title was made isn't solved, they'll still leave whenever they dont have a team they like, heck they will leave every time they think the team setup will not get them a glad point just because they still get something for leaving.

Lets say i did 4 battles with one team and we won until then and i realized or found out or just want to leave and go do something else.

So i tell the group ill leave after this one , they answer ok, then we come across a team and we kill all but one which already used his res sig, that will also die , so i see that my team can finish it off without me and i tell them ok bye guys was fun and i decide to leave my team thought it was ok and they didn't get affected by me leaving but for some reason the game punishes me?WTF??

Lets say the same thing happens but instead of knowing that my team will kill the guy , the guy is a runner and will run around for a while just to annoy us but eventually die ( after 5 minutes of being the only one alive) so i either have to decided im gonna WASTE my time running after this guy , while i could have already been in my car and on my way to the park , or leave and get punished? WTF?

2) Not sure what you mean here but if you mean that leavers will get lower or no faction for X rounds after they have left a team , then ok this might be nice , but then again we have the same problem of getting punished for leaving when the team thinks its fine or leaving because i HAVE to, because something happened in real life.

Sorry punishments like this wont work cause there are legit reason to leave.

1.) It'd encourage people to do this, purely because they want the title, so expect it to be done more.

2.) For the people who don't want it and leave anyway, who'd wear it? They won't show it.

3.) Stupid idea..

Title received after gathering XX points and decaying points after time, excludes all described by you situations, because they don't happen fight by fight.

In the proposition they don't have ability to turn off this title.

i think you might be pushing people to leave just for the title... some people might want it.

leavers in ra are not a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing problem

RA leavers aren't a problem. However, I would like to see "Survivor" renamed to "Coward".

Wretchman Drake · May 24, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

How about after enough times leaving in a time period, you're perma banned from all forms of PvP. It would be like a death sentence. That would surley stop leavers in the long run. It's a smart idea, just don't rage quit in less than a minute into the match or at least you can leave once your party is declared the losers.

Title:
1. It would just encourage people to do it more
2. No one cares what title you have. PvE? Most use hench/hero so it dont matter. TA/HA? Most people play with guildies/friends anyway so it wouldnt matter there.

Less faction:
1. faction has no influence on leavers.

The only fair way to deal with leavers, if they are even a problem in the first place, would be to put a time limit on when you can go back in after you leave a fight.

PvE'ers are funny when they first start PvP

Your point number one is very true. This would be a title that I'd go for because it'd be easy to achieve. Why would I do it? Well... I don't PvE that often and I always test out new builds, and I get bad teams. So I don't get gladiator points often. I also hate waiting to make a group at the Heroes' Ascent. Whatever, I just want a title I can max out.
Point 2. Very true...
Less faction point one. Very true again. Well... it might discourage me a little, I need lots of faction to buy skills for my looney builds which seem to work alright.

I guess the mods dont bother to close these threads anymore.

You're retarded, RA leavers are barely a problem, its overexagerated. A title that cant be HIDED rofl, how does that even work ? Why would anyone in Ta or HA care if someone leaves in RA because they got a team with 3 monks and a rit, or this

It would be like the death penalty for stealing an apple. Sure, it would keep people from stealing apples, but it would still be pretty retarded. There was a king in greece a long time ago who had the death sentence on stealing an apple fo real. We know him today as Draco the Bloody.
