When there's a leaver in your RA team, do you leave as well?

I stay actually, sometimes we win most of the times we lose. I also notice other people stay as well. Is it a case of honor or challenge for them?

The feel of actually winning in a 3v4 match is accelerating kinda makes you feel like a more powerful being (or just makes you think if RA people are getting dumber).

I usually stay and see if we can beat our opponents just with the 3 of us, when you win you'll get a 4th person the next match.

Yesterday I beat two teams in a 3vs4 match, I usually stick around just for the heck of it. I more or less have to since 90% of the matches have pussy whipped leavers in them.

Stop making these threads, nobody cares. Leave if you want, stay if you want. Winning 3 vs. 4 just means you beat a dumbass team or they had no healers and you had a good healer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah sure, why don't we stop making threads at all and save the mods a lot of work. I think people make threads about RA because they DO care. if you can get to 10 consecutives when fighting 2 actual battles there is something very wrong imo ^^

Yes I'm there for the fame and if the situation is a waste of time I leave.

Call me an ass, but I don't enjoy PVP and all I want is the titles, I'm 100% honest about that.

Wow how can you put up with PvP, elitism, bad players and trash talk while you dont even like PvP? I would suck at something if I would do it without enjoying it tbh.

Mods have nothing to do with it. The threads are repetitive and annoying as they debate the same point over and over.

I RA on occasion...testing out the Yansassin build elsewhere on this site but I usually get into crappy teams...works well against other crappy teams but yesterday I came up against a really decent team with a para and a badass spirit spammer...blocked/missed half my attacks and kept getting pushed back...so i said F it and left. It was late anyway.

You probably forgot to kill the [skill]displacement[/skill]. Good trick with a sin is to auto-attack the rit for a while, the spirit loses health every time it blocks.

But yes, fighting spirit spam types in RA is really tedious, agreed completely.

i stay to the bitter end even if im all alone, don;t like leavers, its depressing to constantly find yourself up against 3 players more than yourself.

Hopefully updating the glad points rewards will alter this, as i can understand why some do leave.

If you want a title and need 10 consequtive wins then its somewhat discouraging to find yourself in a team that has little chance of goingthe whole hog.

Personally though i always though if you wanted a well thought out team that was what TA was for.

My mindset is: the likelihood is that the other team will have a leaver too, that may lead to most of the other team leaving. I either lose and just start again, or win and have the person replaced, no real loss to me.

I really enjoy the quick skirmishes of RA, no matter how many are in each team.

If the other team also has a leaver I'll stick it out.

Sometimes there's a chain reaction, and your whole party (or opposing party) all leave.

And yet, you choose to read them. I'd bold the key word there for you, but I think it just might elude you. I'll give you a hint. It's not "read".

And back when I tried PVP, I'd never leave a battle. There's no reason to turn tail and run when you know you're skilled enough to win.

I just do RA for testing builds. If there's a quitter, I continue to test, though it's usually a lot harder like that, of course, especially when ALL 3 teammates leave before the match even started.

If I'm in a crappy team with no leavers, I stay for the match, doesn't matter if we win or lose, I'll end up leaving and going in again, but at least it's not prematurely.

The worst part of all of this, is the increasing amount of 'gladiator elitists'. Yes, the leavers who grind the title boast with their ultra leet ragequitting qualities.

I leave only if I'm the only one left just because there's no point in staying and wasting some good seconds of the other team's time. If there's three, I often try and stay and usually there is some success. Sometimes you can figure that there is at least one incompetent person on the other team, so you're fairly matched =]

I normally stay, but I get pissed off when it happens 4 times in a row. If it's just me, I like taunting or chatting to the other team, maybe even kiting practise to make them work for it.

ahahaha thats awesome...maybe i should try that....

but yeah I usually stay no matter what the odds...it's a game stop taking it so serious and have fun with it.

best part is talking mess as you get your ass handed to you...it pisses people of so much, until they realize your just screwing around then they laugh about it.

If it's the first match and the team doesn't look spectacular, I usually leave. If we're on a streak and someone leaves, I usually stay.

I don't leave straight away, however if I see that its gonna be a near impossible match, e.g They have 4 people including a monk and we don't have a monk, then I'm more inclined to leave.

If 2 people on our team leave then I'm probably gonna leave

But I like to asses the situation first.

I usually just stay. Mainly because I want some faction before I'm utterly destroyed. Something has to make your unfortunate situation worthwhile. I've won in a 2 vs 4 once. They had no monks and so I just sniped them with Reaper's Mark while I enjoyed healing from the monk on my team.

When i go in RA im normally monking, because its the class im best at. Normally if im playing W/R or something, and we have 2 monks.. one leaves, making a chain reaction. Since i monk most of the time, people see Mo/Me on their screen and stay thinking 1 class can save the day. People should give their team a chance, i was once with an all sin group, worked quite well until someone had a guild call. It irritates me just the number of people that leave, compared to earlier times in this game.

I usually stay, because of no one else leaves, it's funny to beat a team with 3 on 4. Also, it's funny to Leeroy and actually take down a player or two on my assasin before I get creamed by a team with a blinding ele, a prot monk, a spirit spammer and a dervish.

I always stay, but if my whole team leaves, and it's 4 on 1, and I'm not on like a spike build. Than I just /dance and give free faction.

i leave if there is more than 1 leaver....but only if they leave at the very start of the match...if they leave 1/2 way through i tend to stay till near death.
