Here’s a take that I haven’t seen yet. It may or may not happen, but I’ll throw it out there anyway. If SBMM would truly work every time. Those regular quitters who would quit and get penalized are gone for sometime. While they are gone, it will actually improve the game experience a little bit for those who are already enjoying the SBMM mode. So this is a win-win for Bungie and those in the community that enjoys SBMM. Now the only thing that needs addressing are lag/ connection issue, and stacked teaming. Stack teaming could probably be solved by implementing lobby skill balancing. I don’t know how much they’re gonna do this, but since Free PvP mode is not a priority here now, it might not happen. Some of the lag/connection issue may also be attributed to crossplay, which may not be addressed as well since player numbers for this game is dwindling and is not optimal. Other than the that, one complaint of quitters leaving and now getting banned for a few minutes may actually help the experience of the already happy SBMM crowed that is already enjoying the game again. It could be a win-win scenario, for now. One more thing, I see a lot of gamers here threatening to stop playing, quit and leave the game for good because of this new quitter’s penalty. Welp, I guess it’s time for me to say this: This is not the Airport! Bwahahahahahaha! I always wanted to say that but I couldn’t find the opportunity yet. I guess this is a perfect time now.🤣 Wave goodbye guys when you hit the Departure Area of the Forums Airport. Hehe!

So you’re telling me that stat padders and toxic rage quitters won’t play anymore? Fine with me.

You can still quit once for free, twice if you want with just a 30 min ban. Go have a sandwich and you can come back and play again.

If you're the kind of person who quits in the middle of crucible/gambit matches, you're the kind of person I never want to play with anyway. The game will continue to thrive without you and will be better for your absence.

[quote]Why are people so mad Bungie that you're installing quitter penalties? Because you're penalizing players for your incompetence. Let's look at the facts: - even though almost 75% of your population at any given time is a solo player, we still don't have a freelance playlist in control. You still refuse to acknowledge that your "team game" is mainly solo players. - you could give a player full super energy or at least as full as the top player when you drop them into the middle of a match that they're losing by 50. No one likes to get supered four times in a row in a match that they just got thrown into. You're tracking energy so it would be a very simple fix. This has been suggested since Destiny 1 and we still haven't seen it. - connections are sometimes so bad that the only recourse a player has is to leave a game. Now you want to penalize us for your lack of dedicated servers.[/quote You don't seem to comprehend that the being dropped into the middle of a match problem is exactly what the leaver penalty is trying to resolve. You can't blame bungie for these pathetic players that are so worried about their stats that they constantly leave games n create the very problem you are complaining about. The connection stuff you aren't wrong about though. [/quote] There are a myriad of other reasons why people will leave a match but I will let people leave that in the comments below. Suffice to say, almost all those reasons are your fault and should be fixed. Instead, you have the unmitigated gall to blame players for this?!?! Your problems in PvP are so bad you don't realize people will still quit matches. Then eventually they will just start quitting Destiny.[/quote] Short of bad connection issues it's 100% the players causing the problem. Bungie doesn't make the playerbase pull the pathetic sht they do. Bungie doesn't force them to type on discord "lfm 3.0kd+ stomping noobs" then proceed to stack and have a new light be fireteam lead to circumvent sbmm and steam roll lesser players to pad their stats. I also don't recall them saying hey guys go reset your trials card n brag about stomping with a stack in non flawless pool all week to farm kd. That's just two examples of the pathetic antics. Bungie is obviously incompetent with their changes but pretending the pathetic player base isn't a giant contributor to the problems is stupid.
