    Can we change the rules on rage quitting?

      How you will enforce that?

      Reporting system is already in place - you can use it.

        Maybe instead of Ctrl-k to quit could be individual recall option which would take you out of the game, also leaving your BP alive

            @rampeer as it stands the rules state a player must commit to the first 5 minutes of game. they can control K anytime after that. if you report someone for control K'ing their com the report gets dismissed because its not against the rules. This is what I would to discuss changing

              @Blade_Walker that would be a great option, especially in games without full share or union control. But the main issue is someone intentionally wanted to throw the game off by killing their acu along with all their unit.

                In custom games the host can change the default from assassination to full share. A possible solution might be to change the "default" to full share in all team games (custom or automatch). This way a rage quitter can still leave without ruining the game for everyone else. This is the case in many RTS games actually (Starcraft, Warcraft, etc.) where the base stays intact if a player leaves and the controle of these units and the base are being shared among the other players. In FAF I think the guy with the highest score gets the base, which is also fine I guess.

                And if the leaves decides to activelly destroy his base or harass others before quitting, then it's a very clear case of someone who needs to be reported and possibly banned.

                This should also apply to people just "pulling the plug" on their connection or force quit the game which makes everyone wait for them to time out and sometimes cause desync.

                  You could have it (for team games) if a player ctl K or alt f4 after the grace period then they get a extra penalty in their ELO rating. If a team wins or looses if players quit early then they get this penalty
                  1st player to quit has the biggest penalty
                  2nd less penalty
                  etc
                  Players who stay to the end do not get the penalty but get the normal lose in ELO.

                    Please inform me when this is implemented, from then on i will only quit games via alt f4
