Uh to get back to your original discussion topic... Seeing players leaving fights is annoying, no matter what side you are on. But what really can be done about it? If you implement a punishment as you suggested, you will also punish those that have a bad connection (and yes before anyone asks, those people are entitled to play the game). In terms of the chat blocking solution... I don't think that is the problem. In the late game people are well aware of what refreshes their browser, and I have never heard a lvl 30+ say F5. The problem is people leaving because the think they will lose, or for a slew of other rather cowardly reasons. Now I say cowardly lightly, since it is just a game after all and there is nothing in the rules against intentionally leaving. So my next question is, should it be a reportable offense for people to leave? There would have to be evidence of course that they actually left on purpose, perhaps if they said something before they leave. Another proposal I wanted to pose here before (if) I do so formally, is a pop-up window that gives players a clue as to if a player lost connectivity or they left on their own free will. This may create a bit of peer pressure in the community against leaving battles intentionally. === I don't want to upset anyone, but I think there is a better place to discuss personal issues. Maybe a new thread, but since it is not game related I would think a entirely different forum. ===
