A Fix for RA

Now as I am sure most of you who do RA on even an irregular basis notice the huge amounts of ragequitters or early leavers who make playing in RA miserable. My suggestion to help remedy this is: If you leave before 5minutes of play the Zaishen 'banish' you for your cowardice in combat and do not allow you to use RA or TA until a certain time has passed (say 10 Minutes).

I think this is more than fair to the people who have to leave due to Real Life problems or guild/alliance events.

Suggested a million times...

Btw, they should just sink Random Arenas, get rid of the random entering from Team Areans, and make everyone play TA. Problem fixes. Somthing that hasn't been suggested before! Yay!

It's called Random Arenas for a reason.
Coz that's what it is. Random.

I'd just be happy if the lag was fixed so that every one starts at the same time. maybe if they increased the starting time to allow everyone to overcome the lag at the begining. For some reason when ever I first zone in some where it takes a while for everything to settle down before I can even move, after winning the first round everything seems to run smoother but I've noticed that when I zone in some times the lag is so bad that the other team wipes my team before I can get through the door.

I think you should stop sucking so people don't rage out of your groups.

Lots of people are in it for an easy glad point. There's no reason for them to stick around in a group w/o a monk or simply a gimped team. It's just people trying to spend their time wisely.

Yes, people who immediately quit before it starts or quit right after they die should be punished. If i give RA a chance i shouldn't have to deal with my time being constantly wasted by people who do this. Theres absolutely no reason why i should have to go through anywhere upto 10 or more groups before i get one where the team is actually 4 the whole time.

Beaten to death before. Not everyone wants to waste time on a completely hopeless team incapable of winning 10 times in a row. (personally, my primary goal in RA)

Now close this.

QFT. The best times I've had in RA is with a team with self-sufficient characters and no monks. Very exciting matches against teams that do have a monk.

People need to realise what RA is for. If you really want glad points, go TA or play the monk in RA that you so badly need and can't do crap without. This goes out especially to Thumpers, because from experience, and knowing they don't bring either Troll Unguent or Healing Signet, are always the first to RQ.

That gives me another idea, what if loaders had a different colored bar, so people don't assume they had already left.

Maybe so, but it's still inconsiderate. People are trying to play for fun but it's really bollock twistingly annoying when some stuck up eejit leaves because he doesn't like the look of the party.

RA is not meant to be serious PvP, so why the hell would you ruin it for seven other people just because you think you won't win? That's taking it too seriously right there. If you can't play a game you aren't sure to win, go anywhere -but- RA and let the rest of us enjoy the game.
