Something [b]seriously[/b] needs to be done about quitters in Iron Banner. Last night 7 out of 10 of my matches were joined in progress. And when I do find a full match, and my team gets behind by 5000 points (even if it's very early in the game) at least 2 or 3 players will quit, ensuring there's no way to come back from that deficit. I don't mind playing solo if my team actually stays and plays or if I can be put on the winning team at least half the time. But joining 4 or 5 games in a row that were already in progress and having teammates quit constantly ruins the experience for everyone. I suggest stricter punishment for quitters. Quit out of 3 matches in a row on the same day? 10 minute ban from matchmaking. Quit out of 5 in a row? Banned until the next Iron Banner. And if you quit out of a total of 10 matches during an iron banner event, you will be permanently banned from participating in Iron Banner until the next event. Another idea is that quitting could take away one of your medallions and subtract 100 Iron Banner reputation. I want some seriously harsh punishments for quitters, the problem is worse than I've ever seen it before. Inb4 "I play on a dial-up or DSL connection and I'm frequently dropped from matches". No, you people with Stone Age Internet need to upgrade to actual high speed internet or deal with the potential consequences. You're the people with red bar connections that ruin the experience for everyone else. Can't afford it or it's not offered in your area? Maybe non-matchmaking activities are better for you. Why should the majority of players suffer because of that one guy on each team with a red bar connection? But that's a whole different subject. Plus most of the quitters aren't people with bad connections. This isn't directed at those people; it's directed at people who intentionally quit. Edit: Apparently some of you are too dense to realize that you wouldn't be put into a game in progress if someone hadn't quit that game in the first place. Also some of you seem to think that error codes are so common that this would definitely result in unwarranted bans. If you're getting tons of error codes, you probably have a slow or bad internet connection. Some of you are also so dense that you think quitting once for an emergency would get you banned... Seriously? Do people even read the whole post or only the title before commenting? Use some common sense. Some people are saying they have a fast connection and still have a yellow or red bar. That could be because the host of the match has a bad connection, which isn't your fault. It could also be because you need to open certain ports on your router to get an [b]open[/b] NAT type. You can check your NAT type in your console under network settings. If it says [b]moderate[/b] or [b]strict[/b] you should check your router's settings and see if the proper ports are open. You can google "open NAT type" for instructions on how to do this. Doing so will reduce your number of error codes and help you connect to friends easier.
