I love these missions, and I know alot ppl who like it to.

I understand that you don't like this situation, but I just don't let it get me, start a new game take some screenshots, report those ppl and start over.

I am sure A.net does alot against these ppl

Just remove faction rewards for the losing side and/or add faction penalties for quitters. Yes, I know the standard counterarguments for these. They have never been convincing.

Um...ok

We fight. Its a close match. You win by a smidgen. I get nothing?

Even a losing team in Random Arena get faction per kill.

Unacceptable.

Quitter penalties = YES PLEASE!

Now I see them all as what come out the back end of our turtles.
wow someone needs to get out in the sunshine and meet people.

And how exactly does turning off chat prevent that kid from quitting the team and leaving you shorthanded?

Then guess what? Nobody will play on those maps anymore.

NOBODY.

Either that they will still keep playing, but upon entering the game they just take a quick glance at the party list, go "WTF YOU NOOBS NO MONK NO MM GL GUYS CYA" and starts to AFK cos it is.. simply put, not even worth the electricity you are using to power on your PC during that time.

Hell I'd rather just go 55 in the Echovad forest, more money for my time, and buy the Amber outright. Who needs to do these stupid BS PvP missions anyway.

its actually quite funny. We Typically MMORPGers or in this case COMRPGers; "see I am finally willing to acknowledged that lol" ; Are just this side of being addicted to a game world over their own... I'm boarder-line. But now that summer is here I have alto going on in real life to pull me away from the game, that is why I went so Gun-Ho on it right when factions came out...

Ther was an interesting artical written many years ago in Massive Online Gaming Magazine "Why MOGers Love to Hate their Games" the folks ther were talking to is from the Themis Group. Basically a Online Corporate think tank for MMO style marketing strategies...

The Analogy they used was really really good. and the best I have ever seen to relate to the phenomena...

Basically its this...

Quote:
"Ever see a Home-Town fan at a baseball game scream obscenities at the clean-up hitter for striking out with a man on base in a really close game?"
well its the same thing with fans of MMO games. The obsession is intense.. And if there is a call that significantly effects the game as a whole its normally badly received... Alla Nerfage...

Quote:
"MOG players have that same sense of passion and identification with the game they choose to 'LIVE' in."
I'll save a spot to upload a Screen of the Old article. its a good short read... But you get the jest of it with this post...

Ingram...

Unfortunately for the sanity of people, they have to remember that this is a game of a war, not a war. Not all's fair in a game, so have some respect for other players.
