Should people be punished for rage quitting? Well since a game can't tell the difference between a legitimate internet disconnection and an actual rage quit, I'd say no. Banning players for X amount of time because their internet crapped on them hardly seems fair. The jailing idea could work, but then you're faced with the problem that even those who aren't raging or disconnecting could also go to the jail system as well.. just because they're getting rage quit on or played someone with bad connection. The "DOTA system" others are talking about could potentially work, since if you aren't the one quitting then finishing matches won't be an issue for you. But then we come back to the problem that being forced to play with the rage quitters could mean that it takes you longer than usual to get out of that server because you keep getting RQ on by some kid who can't stand the idea of a negative record.

So, in my opinion.. just rack up a point for "disconnects" to the online record and find another opponent.

Rage quitters for all nrs games online and even when midway /nrs remade their 3d and 2d mks have a shit load of this. I have gotten use to it but it doesn't mean I don't find it annoying.

I am one of those "guys" that tries to get achievements and trophies in game's I like such as mk9. It took me almost a yr to actually get 1 ranked wins and it's not because I am super free in mk9 it's because of the rage quitting.oh and that took more then a yr on ps3/360. Vita didn't have as many rage quitters (nor players) & on pc I rarely ever see someone rage quit on mk9.

It's honestly something I doubt can ever be fixed u have dummies that leave their router open on their pc and do stupid shit to make the game desync the game.to my knowledge no win is awarded to the player nor is a lost given. I don't believe if its a desync for mk9 or injustice the system gives a player a win and if u get an opponent that disconnects u may get the win but it doesn't count towards your achievement or trophy.

With that said I believe maybe a change in how match making is done can change this as in the system should pick someone that is closer to your level of play / true skill etc which imo will cur back on some of it but to be honest it's an issue that will never go away.

Also when I baby someone and they rage quit I smile now because they know I didn't hold block in umk /mk9 and for an online player that is just funny.

When I use to play on xband for snes and sega genesis via phone line mk2 and mk3 in the 90s the way catapult delt with this was they made all matches best 2 out of 3. If the game detected a pull and I had 1 win regardless of the reason they system gave the person in the lead a win.
it didn't please everyone but it was a good thing that cut back on it and fixed some issues. I am honestly surprised this hasn't been done with any fighting gsmes on rank and that all games still are set for 1 game

I think rage quits should be penalized in ranked matches only, but not just penalizing the quitter but also rewarding the opponent to compensate for wasting his time in an unproductive match.

Why do you care if someone rage quits? Just find a new opponent
It's tedious. You get a feeling of relief/joy whenever you find an opponent but,oh wait, nope...they just decide that they don't want to learn from a loss and would rather show you disrespect and run early.this actually just gave me an idea! If they attempt to rage quit but have already done so too many times within a certain time period then the opponent should get a mini notification and be essentially recommended to fatality/bablity them for it.

I do hope that with this new big global plan they have for online where we all compete against each other that like other have said I don't get a loss when somebody else quits. I personally don't care that people rage quit especially when I get paired up against someones 1st 2nd and 3rd game in ranked in row (Fix the matchmaking NRS what good is TS if TS 1 can match against TS 40) and they quit to save time on the character select screen.

That being said if they do fix the matchmaking to pair me with someone reasonably close to my skill range i'm all for a jail type system in Ranked only, I really don't see a need for it in player/private.

It's especially funny when they rage quit when they know that baby is coming lol. They catch you not blocking and they're just like "fuck this" haha. Damn. I miss babying people. I will be dissapointed if babies aren't in mkx.

What about the one where you let them live and the fight continues?

I hope they find a way that reprimands but doesn't restrict gameplay.

I just moved into a college dorm and the wifi runs smooth as hell, but unfortunately drops every so often and i'd be fucking pissed if I lost the ability to play the game just because my internet is spotty.

Everytime someone rage quits on the xbox one, their kinect should get a facecam of them so we could see rhem throwing controllers and crying their eyes out. They should also let us edit them with captions. :D

Quitting penalties (other than detriment to stats in said game) are just not good ideas imo and here's why...

Yes, you are punishing the people that you want to punish for leaving matches early or people who can't handle losing... BUT you are also punishing people that are innocent. Not everyone has the best connection and some people have other duties that may spring up suddenly. And you are going to ruin their gaming experience b/c they (insert circumstance) can't play when you can?? They paid for the game just like everyone else and shouldn't be banned from playing for an alotted time b/c you don't like that they left.

It's a pain in the ass as I use to be on the "terrible internet" side of multiplayer gaming and absolutely HATED the deserter penalty in the Halo (2? or 3?) matchmaking system. My internet dropped a lot and I wouldn't even be able to play a game mode in a game I purchased.

You still got the win, so who freaking cares?!

Yea my internet is booty buttcheeks but I like to play online from time to time. I have tons of disconnects on all games I play, but I don't tell my ping to jump from 150ms to 2000+ms and sit there for 40 minutes. (NRS games have the least tolerance for faulty connections, but 2000+ ms ping is enough to not bother playing anything..or even loading webpages).

The snobby me, who has a good internet connection and believes people are soiling my experience because they don't want to hold that ass beating says yes. The real world me who has to deal with one of the worst internet connections in America says no.

Punishments should apply only to ranked matches. Like in gears of war 3 if you lose a ranked match you lose xp. But at the same time you shouldn't be forced to play laggy games, but people don't really care about levels after a certain point.

idk if you guys realize but the problem isn't rage quiters.
how does NRS determines who's rage quitting?
I say any1 that disconnects 5 or more times in the period of 20-30 minutes.
I often rage quit when I feel like am playing under water, that's once or twice every 30-60 minutes.

i've had to quit on friends I was playing because I had to go change a diaper or take an important phone call. why should I be punished for that? quitting incurs a loss. That's fine since I don't give a shit about my online record. A lot of quitters do, thinking it won't impact their stats.
This guy rage quits CONSTANTLY. So full of salt and hate.

If your internet is so shitty that you get flagged for rage quitting, then I have no sympathy honestly. I am talking about habitual offenders, not just punishing people after a few disconnects here and there. Ideally, the system should have a certain threshold of violations each day you would have to cross in order to be flagged.

It's just polite to stay until the end of the match. I do it, and so many other competent minded players can take losses, so you should have to sit through it like me. It just annoys me sometimes. Most days I just smile and move on, but with MK9 for instance, I can barely find a game late night. And after searching for so long, it's ridiculous how many people rage quit after they see I actually know how to play the game. Same with IGAU before I dropped it, wait for game, play, rage quit first match, repeat. When IGAU first came out, I remember being baffled by the amount of rage quits.

I just want to play the game, and if you accept my invite or I accept yours, proper etiquette says that you at least stay to the end of each match you agreed to play...unless other problems arise like a personal issues, disconnect, or console issues, then I understand. But if that stuff is happening all the time and you are always quitting out on people for every phone call, salty game, or whatever, you're an asshole. And you look like a bigger asshole when you quit...which is why most days I just send them a sarcastic message and carry on. I just figured this topic needed to be discussed, it's not that I lose sleep or rage about rage quitters, the discussion just needs to be had.

I forget about the share feature on the next gen. It's amazing, and I can't wait to bust it out when MKX drops.
