Forums - Gaming - People quitting online matches on Street Fighter IV should be punished.

Already this morning i have had four people out of my first six matches quit on me half way through the matches.

When i check my records the four games did not register as a win or loss.

Surely if someone quits you should win the match by default no?

I love this game but people quitting is really getting on my nerves now.

Time wasting bar stewards.   grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Somewhat true, but I think it'd be pretty lame if you got a demerit if, say, your internet went down. Because that really isn't your fault, at all. So I think it's pretty good that it is the way it is, although a lot of people exploit that and quit in the middle of games, which is too bad.



That's strange that they don't get punished in any way, I agree with your sentiments. Quitters are losers!

Before each match it shows how much ping your opponent has, i only take people on if their ping is green or bright yellow.

These people are intentionally quitting and its really becoming a pain in the ass.

 



Yeah, but you don't have to have bad ping for your internet to disconnect. I'm not saying that their internet is disconnecting, I'm sure they are quitting. But if you got demerits for leaving a match and then you get disconnected sometime, well, that's not your fault and you shouldn't get punished for it. Which is why I think the system is alright the way it is, although it does allow some lameasses to slip through the cracks.

Four out of six people quitting is BEYOND LAME lol.

I would say in my last 30 matches around 17 have quit, thats over 50%, its pathetic and somthing needs to be done about it.



Yep, this happens a lot in PES too. F**king annoying!

I think the amount of people quiting because they are getting their ass handed to them far exceeds the number of people who quit because their internet shuts down.

I think it should be a win by defualt for the person who didn't quit and a lose for the person who quit.



If there was any possible way to differentiate between quitters and people who genuinely got disconnected, then yeah. But as long as there isn't, I personally don't think so. I really wouldn't want people who did nothing wrong to get punished.



If you quit in Virtua tennis 3 for example, you lose AND the person who didn't quit wins.

Same in Top spin 2, if you quit you lose (the other person wins again)

What are the odds of someones connection going down during a 90 second fight?

Its bullsh*t and should be sorted out asap.



I get a lot of people quitting in player matches too, its just spiteful at the end of the day.

Take your lickings like a man/woman.
