"Rage Quit" Punishment Idea

from Demigod Forums

So far I have liked that the problem of 'rage quiting' has been addressed at least, and some harsher

punishments with losing favor ect. have been put in place.  Although this is a good step, I don't think

it's nearly enough to deter players from doing it.  Most people have started to acquire plenty of favor

to get the couple of items they need for their favorite DG to play, and thus they still leave.

 

I think the best idea would be to restrict players that quit or get dced from joining another Pantheon

match for 10 min or so.  This would hopefully help people stick out matches, and give those of us

a chance who actually stay, instead of getting an AI.  (-_-) I don't think a lot of players realize how

possible ridiculous comebacks are, as I've had a few when "I knew I was going to lose."

 

Some people have also argued that punishing players that DC may not be right, but it's necessary.

First of all, if the restriction is just put on people that 'quit' then they'll find away to make the game

appear to DC, as there are quite a few ways.  Secondly, I think as the system gets better we will get

to the point where people really don't DC when it's not on purpose.  I think I have seen one player

that 'timed out' when we were winning.  Every other time they just happen to time outwhen we or

they are getting owned.

 

All in all I think this would be a great idea for at least the Pantheon to help force people to not

screw other people's ranks.  Lemme know what you all think. ^_^

Losing Favor, etc?

 

When was this implemented?  Is it documented anywhere?  How exactly does it work?  Lose how much favor?  Can you go below zero?  Does it matter when you leave?

he's saying they were suggested... as in another post somewhere.

 

as for punishment i like the idea.  coming from DotA where 9/10 doctors are rage quiting dicks i feel ur pain.  the times ban is a good idea however i think its shoul expidensaly increase for repeat offenders. so for example if u get a time time out 2 or 3 times in a 24 hour block then instead of 10 min it ups to 20 min... and then 40 min... and 90 min etc  that way its got much more impact for those that are going to rage quit and then call it quits because its dinner or something.

 

as for DC, yes it should be punishable because DC's can be faked so it doesn't look like rage quit however on DC it might be better to either take it to a vote (so the players in the game can decide) or have a time limit on it so after 10 min in a game if you DC then u get a time ban.

the other think is if this is only for panteon then there needs ot be something for cutom games as well.  but maybe seperate or with a lower time?
