People who quit in online gaming because they're losing.

    I don't see why people are always stereotyping Republicans as cruel. I mean, I only eat one kitten a day. I'm not Hitler, guys.

    Let's be honest, there are probably more pro-mouth shooting Republicans.

    It's most annoying if one of your teammates quits a game because they're not doing so well. Congrats, you are coward who can't have any fun if they're not getting their ego stroked 24/7.

  • If half my team quits. I'm quitting. I'm not going to stick around in a game. It's not fun just to get spawn camped the rest of the game just because we don't have the numbers to keep the other team out of our spawn area.

    If it's an RTS, if even ONE person quits. I'm done. Unless it looks like they have a noob on their team so maybe the teams are still balanced.

    The person who quits first is the coward. I don't blame people from bailing when they don't have enough players to stand a fair fight.
  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    What's worse is people who ragequit so they don't have to play with "noobs". Like people in WoW who drop random Heroic dungeon groups because the other guys aren't geared enough to steamroll through it. Yeah thanks for the 20 minute queue time for a replacement, jerk.

    ...I just did this.

    I don't feel bad. It's no fun to play with 1/2 of your team idle or building their sentries, directing their medics or placing their sticky bombs at the WRONG FUCKING POINT until there's only 1:30 seconds left.

    That too, really. Dicks. How are people supposed to improve if you turn your nose and don't give them a chance?

    In something like a shooter, like TF2, I don't really mind this.  People are always dropping in and dropping out of games, so it doesn't make a huge difference.

    But in something more involved, like Starcraft, if people on your team drop out it's pretty devastating.
  • ^ Basically that.
  • ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    I wish there was a re-botting feature like on Warcraft3. Where if a player drops out, all of his/her units are taken over by the computer. Even though you can't plan maneuvers, all of the units they own don't just fuck up the game when they vanish or drop dead.

    Red Alert 3 has that. Actually, most C&C games do. When a player quits or disconnects, another teammate inherits their base and units.

    Same with Starcraft 2.  You get all of your allies' resources, structures, and units if they quit.

    Who here wishes that with non team games, the person was at least replaced by the computer?

    Sure, in games like Pokemon, this would be obvious due to the sudden increase in difficulty, but still
  • Thane of rum-guzzling and necromancy
    As long as the computer doesn't quit too.
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^I think I actually had that happen once. The AI crashed or something. It was odd.

    That'll be the worst consequence of when AI gain sentience; not the robot overlords or the time travel, but rather the AI screwing up all our online games.
  • No rainbow star
    ^^ Just what do you have to do that is bad enough to piss off not only the human but the computer to the point of quitting?
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    It didn't quit; it just kind of...stopped.
  • We Played Some Open Chords and Rejoiced, For the Earth Had Circled the Sun Yet Another Year
    If I'm not having fun, I'm going to quit, simple as that.
  • If I'm not having fun, I'm going to quit, simple as that.
  • Except quitting solely because you're a narcissstic fuck who needs to be winning to have fun is really goddamn stupid.
  • Has friends besides tanks now
    Whoa there, Chagen.
  • Non-insane-overreaction reason to not quit in multiplayer games:  It's a multiplayer game.  More than one person is playing it.  You should take the other people into consideration and not do things that ruin their ability to have fun (assuming they're being reasonable).  If you don't want to do that, play single-player games.
  • I'm not calling them that.

    I was using "general you". Probably should have clarified that.
  • Can't deny it can get frustrating at times.
  • DYRE: Except, in Motorstorm's case, I'm apparently ruining their fun by being better than them.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    ^ Nice.

    I try not to let losing in multiplayer games get me upset, but when I'm just having a bad night or something, and I just keep coming in last or losing over and over again, I don't especially want to keep playing.
