It’s not a competitive game type. Shouldn’t have any penalties at all. People who cry about quitters are the ones who are chasing stats.

“Oh no, I myst have a modicum of sportsmanship, oh no!”

Here me out on this Don't leave?

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!

Don't leave to save a fake kd Solved

Ah poor babies gotta actually finish the game they are playing so terrible 😢

Whoo-weeee!!! The "Checkin Stats" crowd is riled UP on these forums! 😆 🤣 No more farming and then leaving for you!! Even worse, most of you are admitting to it! Because of a map you don't like, or spawning in mid-match, etc...... You're ok ruining the match and game play for others. But when it comes to you......now you're crying just like you say the casuals are. Pot, meet kettle.

Don't leave matches and you won't face penalties. Pretty simple stuff.

Good reasons to quit a match 1) Dysfunction 2) Convergence 3) Eternity 4) Vostok 5) 6 Stacks

I haven’t touched crucible in months.. just checked as far back as I could and it dates back to February 6th and I still hadn’t touched it lol. Don’t gotta worry about pvp anyways cause it’s garbage anyways.

amazing how this was never a problem until this season.

I've copied+pasted this to other forum topics, and will continue to do so. This "quitter penalty" to casual playlist matches is beyond bs, so thank you all for voicing your concerns and frustrations. Bungie can't leave well enough alone. The company that USED to be the "good" Bungie (aka old Halo) had a difference between ranked matches and the "casual" matches. Casual was where you'd go to eff off with your friends and not care, and the "ranked" was when you actually gave a crap. Why this new implementation of a "quitter penalty" to a "casual" game mode is beyond me. Hey Bungie, how about stop making garbage maps; sorry you put forth so much effort into "Dysjunction," but nobody likes that map. Moreover, how about ROTATE THE DAMN MAPS! It's been what, over 3+ years since they've rotated the maps? | Get rid of Disjunction (misfunction), Cathedral of Nobody-asked-for-it, and Dead Spawn-in-lockers Cliffs.....then the community might, MAYBE like the mode a little better. When you enforce a "quitter" penalty on what is supposed to be a "casual" mode, this just makes more people not want to play. You implemented SBMM [again], and yet again...it's crap. If I wanted to sweat, I'd do Comp or Trials, and even then it's a toss-up on how my teammates will perform. If I'm trying a particular [new/fun] loadout, but either: 1.) the map is trash, and/or 2.) my team is trash... it's kinda hard to playtest something. Since you already restrict the playlists and maps that already exist, it seems beyond scummy that you would enforce a quitter penalty on the only "casual" crucible node that exists. Y'all seriously need to get your -blam!- together. Old Bungie (you know, that one's that were good and developed the old Halo's) would be turning in their graves. Shame on you all.

So....It's a sin when one backs out of a game for getting Disjunction 4 times in a row and wants a little more variety? Or when it's 12-80 in the middle of a 6 stack Super-fest spawn trap? Or when it's the end of a match 50 - 140? Or when the power goes out due to storms? Trouble is, we aren't handed a choice of maps to lay in or even when we join. Time is often limited so players may feel the need to back out and start afresh. Is that going to be the wrong thing to do as well? Just asking.

To put it simply, there's more money in the bottom tier players. It's not about fairness or what's best for the mode, it's about having people stick around who are more willing to spend money in Eververse. That's what this whole game is about. Player retention and getting people to buy from the shop. The entire game is catering to the bottom tier. Look at PVE. It's so incredibly easy now. Grandmasters were an absolute joke last season, and the rewards have gotten worse to go with that. Master raids have worse loot than normal raids. That should tell you everything right there. Even the "end game" pvp mode Trials has been catering to the bottom tier. Bungie doesn't care about having a good game. They care about making the most money, and the 2 do not go hand in hand because bottom tier players have no idea what makes a good game. They just want to pew pew dregs in patrol mode while wearing their neat ornament from the store. They don't care about challenging, satisfying content, or good reward structure. As long as they can turn their brain off and shoot stuff they are happy to spend money. The best thing you can do is stop playing.

We warned ya! They did this in TTK, D2Y1, and Forsaken. Told Ya!
