Deserter penalty is insane.

15 mins was reasonable. Half an hour with no ap gain at all is obsene. Im sick to death of being booted by the servers and then sitting on penalties. This is trash.

    Is it really that hard to add a simple check to penalize players who leave intentionally, while skipping the penalty in all other cases?
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    What would they need to check for, exactly? How would the system be able to tell the difference between someone who logs out and someone who gets booted off the server?

    Checking if they are pressing the leave battleground button versus not pressing it followed after a massive ping spike would be a good start.

    The problem there is if you make that the only criteria, people can just unplug their routers and fake a loss of connection to get around the penalty.

    yep, lag/kill switches are still very real, which means all need to be punished equally. If you're having network problems anyways should be a good time to check all your stuff, reset your router, make sure everything is in order etc anyways so 30 minutes shouldn't be a problem since if something's going on it could reoccur within that timeframe.
