When you say ODL do you mean one death leave ?
If so we already have a crew lock system for users who leave the battle after one death if they have more vehicles in there line up that they can play, or if someone is playing with one tank only etc for premiums we gave people back ups to use when they buy a tank, to help mitigate this issue but at the end of the day we can’t force any user to play a game to the end,we have the above mentioned structures to help users feel more motivated to stay in the game as long as they can.
I mean, the first counterargument of crew lock is that it only works if they HAVE other tanks in their lineup to be locked.
For the second one, that only works for what, 10 matches then they have to either buy backups or they just ODL? What could be added is a something incentivizing players to play. For example, if they have 4 or more vehicles in their lineup and then they run out of SP or the match ends, then a SL and RP booster is added to the rewards.
ODL as well as leaving a match without even participating, as per mentioned by many above who leave on a map they dislike.
Well im aware of the crew lock, and personally absolutely love the extra backups as i believe it does allow for extra player spawns etc.
But there is an issue with people prematurely leaving games, would it be possible to suggest to gaijin the crew lock be made universal?
So to build on my last point
If its registered you leave a match with SP and a substantial enough amount to spawn say twice in a medium, rather than crew lock an individual nation, put all trees under the affect.
I had a game not two days ago where my entire team left within 3 minutes, while the enemy team had one or two people.
While im aware gaijin are trying to mitigate it, i do believe personally that at a certain point it falls to player accountability which is outwith gaijins hands.
Nope, this is not how this works. I play red desert daily with no problems.
If you think that milions of players all together decided to ban one of the better maps in game and that’s why you don’t get it often, then there is no reason to discuss anything, because you are just wrong
There are many absolute garbage maps in this game, such as sun city, alaska and stalingrad. I will absolutely 100% quit the match every time I get those maps.
Why should anyone feel compelled to stay and play a map they dont like, this is not a competitive game and in the end this is a video game anyway. You are supposed to enjoy your time, not be a sweat lord.
I was gonna write soemthing but the knightofZero is right, This stuffs had its light im off xD

Theres a reason we have crew locks for leaving games prematurely
Theres a reason in ToS it talks about a rule of joining games with zero participation counts as a passive play.
I’d say taking up a team slot and then leaving breaks that.
I’ve been doing this for Sweden for the longest time lol abandoned factory has start getting in my nerves and I’ve start quitting them during the Loadout screen
You really don’t understand why it crew locks you?
I know you can play another nation, im saying the crew lock exists as a punishment for leaving early.
“not intentioanlly disrupt your teams gameplay. For example, you must not hurt your teammates on purpose (“friendly fire”), block their movements, or stay inactive (“AFK”) during a game session. You must not use cheats, bugs, exploits, or other methods of unfair play.”
you joining a game, then leaving is meaning you are AFK from that match.
EDIT: Thus you are intentionally disrupting other players gameplay with your actions.
Nope, AFK means away from keyboard, quitting the match is not AFK. Nor are you disrupting anyones gameplay by leaving.
Funny how you keep inventing new definitions and stretching every rule to fit your narrative, we could also say one death quitting is disrupting the team, or people with bad skills are disrupting the team since they dont get anything done and only run down tickets, yet gaijin considers this to be fine and dandy.
Let me run this again to double confirm, last checked was years ago where I watched the replay, saw it’s still 16v16 after I leave before the match even start, I assume that players who have had “join ongoing battle” option enabled had filled my slot.
I dont really care if its deterrant to quitting, it doesnt change my opinion or future actions on leaving.
Nope, you werent part of it to begin with, you get replaced if you quit without spawning within a timeframe of match starting.
You quite literally bent the rules you quoted to fit your narratives.
AFK means away from keyboard , i.e. inactive behavior, you cant exactly be inactive if you arent in the match.
Disrupting doesnt equal leaving the match, you arent actively harming your team.
Gaijin doesnt consider one death quitting to be against the rules, people dont get punished for it. And nor does leaving the match get you punished either. There is this whole “join active match” thing to replace people.
No you dont? ive yet to see that happen, seen folks saying it specifically on this forum to justify leaving, but every game im in where theres a person who leaves with all 0’s before the game starts, they do not get replaced.
you are still in the match xD
The punishment is literally the crew lock on the rest of the lineup mate.
No its not to replace people, the join active match means you will join a match, that has began with say 8 people per side, rather than the whole 16v16.
Where did this come from that they take the place of people who prematurely left? xD
You are aware, Even my last match, there was a person in each team that left, and was not replaced thus they are inactive in the match? I seriously do not get why people believe that you get removed and replaced from the game.
Now seeing as this wont go anywhere, and this threads just gonna be the same silly arguments back and forth then I reckon I’ll mute it.
The fact is, there is a plethora of people now that ODLing and leaving before the game starts is affecting, Hence this thread. and the many others like it.
shock horror, something that affects the team is being reverburated on the forum due to causing issues for the players
