Penalty for leavers suggestion

[Flinlock]

Just wanted to come back to this, because in another thread from 2018, Temporary punishment for leaving game, you stated the following:

@Flinlock

I’d like to see a hosting specific penalty. Like if the host shuts down a game when people are connected, they get banned from hosting for an hour or something like that. They’d still be able to join games or play private of course. A fits-the-crime punishment that would encourage people to stick it out till the keep before disbanding.

I assume back then you didn’t have many hours in? You probably didn’t have all the red items or whatever either. So you found leavers to really inconvenience you at the time, and you targeted hosts specifically.

What we can take from this is that when you are effected by leavers, it’s a big issue and you demand punishment. However as long as you get to have fun, it doesn’t matter that youractions ruins games for other people.

I think everybody can agree this is selfish.

I think everybody can agree that you misunderstood my post I was talking specifically about HOSTS quitting mid-game, because it would instantly kill the game for everyone else. At the time host migration was broken so if a host quit, the round would end with no rewards for all the clients who connected. And it would take a good couple minutes to get back to the lobby because it would try and fail to migrate to a new host.

THAT is what I wanted to penalize. I had zero problems with clients leaving the game on a whim, same as now.

This is why I can’t trust people who are against a penalty system. It’s all double standards from them.

LOL ok if you say so
