Rage quit!

Because people care too much. My friend was once playing a game of FIFA online and the game glitched where it wouldn't reconnect properly, the guy he was playing sent him a message saying he'd just leave the game running so as to avoid the quitting statistic. I tried to persuade my friend to reset his console so we could play something else but he refused and let it stay on for a full 4 hours before he turned it off. All to avoid one tiny little stat. That's the opposite of rage-quitting and it's just as sad.
That said, if my arse is getting handed to me then I'm not really going to enjoy the game and it'll just put me in a bad mood, therefore I will probably quit. Why do you care? In FIFA at least I know it counts as a victory for you if your opponent quits (and I would expect it would do the same in other games), so that doesn't really matter. Surely you'd rather be playing half decent opponent rather than just keep easily creaming one person? I mean rage-quitting right at the last minute when you've been going toe to toe for ages, that's sad, but quitting because you're getting stupidly beaten, maybe because of a bad connection or bad matchmaking, seems reasonable to me.

I've had a bunch of comebacks at low health.Sapient Pearwood said:
The first match is the one you wanna see. Comebacks can happen no matter what. Just try and do give up.
Yeah that's pretty much what I was saying, I was talking about big teams of people where your actions don't have as much effect on the overall flow of the game like in any MMOFPS or RPG. With those after a certain point if you're on the losing team you're on the losing team and a lot of the time the winning team likes to farm kills rather than end the game so that's when I'd rage quit.Aura Guardian said:
The most fun you can have in fighting games are those moments where you're on your last little bit of health and trying desperately to avoid being hit and still do damage in my opinion.
Oh my god. I was in a lobby a while back in MW2, going for 5 straight nukes, and the match before I got my 4th. Next game I am annihilating left and right, on a 22 killstreak, and the game starts to lag badly. Eventually the lobby is closed because the host dashboarded.
I ragequit because it's probably best if I don't rip my monitor out and throw it across the room while frothing foam from my mouth.
Well, I've been playing LoL alot, and imo if you're gonna play a multiplayer game. See it through. Many times even bad starts can be reclaimed in the end. If you can't stand loosing, stay off multiplayer games or just play with your own team. (that way maby your damn friends [if you have any] can knock some sense into you)
Exactly. If I stop having fun in the middle of a match, why shouldn't I be able to quit?oplinger said:
Ha ha ha ha ha I don't rage quit, I simply leave angrily because YOU WINNING IS OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF HACK AND I *Long list of swear words*
Also I believe that, and I'm not pointing anyone out, a good majority of those who -do- rage quit, came in to that game to prove they were good at something, maybe low self esteem as some say, and by losing, they refuse to admit that it's their own fault, and rage and rage and rage and leave and find a place they can win, then taunt others.

Well, clearly we have a failure to communicate here, because now you don't seem to understand what I said.TestECull said:
If you're not having fun anymore, then you wait for the round to end, then leave. It's a fighting game, not chess. It takes 30 seconds to lose, less, if you've given up. I don't just press "quit game" if I'm losing because it's no fun, thus shafting my opponent. Wait, then leave. It's just nicer that way.
I'm by no means saying "keep playing so I can tally up wins, LOL", what I AM saying is, if you're leaving, then do so at a time when it doesn't spell "fuck you" to your opponent.
This is all academic, though, because the rage quitters I find tend to, let's say, "stop having fun" when the round goes un-winnable for them.
It's great when they start sending you insulting messages.
