never seen a rage bait this bad in a game where people pay for everything

yeah bg was ugly like always, got matched with newbies against 3k cp players, half my team’s skill gap was way too low and no healer in a 4v4. i didn’t bother continuing, just logged off to cool down. came back hoping for a healer and some decent cp teammates, waited forever for one single match (great population lol) and then boom, login error. now my penalty’s even longer and it’s not even my fault. biggest rage bait ever, i don’t get it. why design it like this? why bait players into rage? makes no sense. i dont have all day to play this game LOLLLLL if it werent for one of my friend still playig this game id uninstall yikes , this is the only game i feel this way its odd cause you guys are overpricing everything, so where is the quality ???

There is no rage baiting. Maybe stop rage quitting because you might lose a match? This is why there are penalties, for those that ruin for others by quitting constantly. Not everyone is an s tier pvper, some simply play for fun. If you're shutting off the game for this, you need a longer break, something more relaxing.

I completely agree and your reaction is justifiable.

This could and probably should have been addressed by ZOS long ago. For my part, I did forsee this as an issue and so the two months leading up to the big BG changes, I ransacked the place and took everything I cared about and got out before a bad situation got worse.

Unevenly matched teams were an issue with the previous edition of BGs, however given the fact there was (3) Teams operating independently, this left room to compensate for the things others may be lacking. I say this respectfully and not in an elitist manner as we all start from somewhere and it's not fair or fun to match a bunch of low CP players to PvP veterans.

More work needs to be done to help evenly match the Teams. More work needs to be done, to help provide an easier and smarter transition towards ending the match when its already over. Furthermore, like you, I hate having my time wasted, I hate being forced to lose and I hate having to explain why a situation that isn't right makes me angry to other people who claim to be so rational yet are seemingly totally lacking in empathy towards the frustrations of their fellow gamers.

I have no time for those folks, either.

Court Martial: You stand accused of desertion
BG Player: I didn't desert, you threw me out! You even said it was your error!
Court Martial: Guilty!

I think if you think that getting groups you don't like counts as part of rage bait to you, it may be time to join a guild and go into BGs with a proper group. Random teams are random.

Are you sure that what you’re doing isn’t destroying your MMR and putting yourself in a self-fulfilling prophecy?
