Rage quit!

[Faux Furry]

I wonder how many people would use a 'Surrender' option if it were offered as it was in Bushido Blade or a Hara-Kiri move that can be used before the match ends.
That would be so much more graceful than Rage Quitting (maintaining both the defeated party's dignity and reputation if it doesn't put a 'Draw' on their record rather than a loss), plus it doesn't take the players out of the gaming experience quite so badly.

They probably would ignore it unless there was an achievement given for using it, but on the upside, there would be even less excuse for Rage Quitting than there is already.

me and my friends think of having people rage-quit as a sport without actively trolling them or saying things to them. Left 4 dead 2 is a great place for this, especially when a teamate is down and you walk up to them like your going to help them and then just T-bag them. We only do that to jerks though who hide in safe-rooms and set off car alarms, so we're not just random xbox live assholes.

I quit on turds who are just wasting my time. Blatantly cheap opponents, and the like.

Frustration can stack up after a while.

I quit only when some outstanding bullshit occurs throughout a match. Hackers, spawn campers that cover every spawn, etc.

I generally don't rage quit at all unless given a good reason. I don't mind taking a loss just cause I still get xp from the match, or if I myself did half decent. But if I'm stuck with the same people that got destroyed the previous game, I'm not sticking around.

Or if I join a game in progress and it's 4 kills from being over and the other team has double, or even triple my team's score, I "rage quit" within seconds.

And sometimes it only takes 1 or 2 people to sabotage all of your efforts. And rather than wait for you to finish inflating your ego and/or K/D ratio, I'd rather roll the dice sooner than later.

Does it count as a rage-quit if you're on a server with people way better than you and you calmly leave because being there isn't fun for anyone? That's as close as I've gotten.
