First of I dont give a monkees about tokens.
I play this game for fun and you can ask anyone, if I am 10 behind or 10 in front I would never quit.
The game seems to be rife with quitters......or am I the only one who this happens to?
3 times now I have been well ahead and 3 times would be high ranking players have quit on me.
If I get booted I always leave a message for the guy I was playing. Manners cost you nothing!!!!
These guys were getting their bots kicked and to save losing rank they quit......simple as that.
They are a disgrace to this game and something should be done.
I would love to see a list of guys who have quit when behind, to put and end to this once and for all.
Ok a guy can get booted but if was appearing on a list time after time and was always behind we would soon weed em out.
Probably such alist is not possible but I for one will let everyone know if anyone quits on me........Pig sick of it!!!!
Obviusly we cant name names on here but we should at least try and let each other know who these quitters are

| I too am getting sick and tired of quitters, and when someone does quit on me, i go right to the lobby and let everyone who is there know about it. I also keep a list of quitters handy and refuse to play any of them.One thing you can look for is if a persons disc rate is high, like over 20%. That is a good indication thay are quitters. I also have been disconnected and try to let any players involved that I am sorry that I was disconnected and that I am not a quitter, most will ask for a rematch and are very understanding. |

| I dont think it is a good idea to let everyone know the name of someone who you assume quit on you. That person may have been disconnected for some other reason. A high disconnect rating is not always an indication that that person is a quitter, it may mean that their computer freezes now and then or they are on dialup and get booted occasionally or a combination of both. I speak from experience from back in the days when I had a lesser computer that I do now and was also on dialup. Someone labled me as a quitter, when I actually never quit any game at all. That is one of the reasons that even today I do not play on line. |

I too was on dial up and was booted from time to time but not that often.
I live in Thailand and had ping as high as 25,000........and still got through many a game, 4 ball at that. My mates put up with me cos they know I never quit.
Perhaps EA should consider printing a warning on the box this game is most suited to High Speed internet and if you get booted you lose........If I got booted I wouldnt care cos its swings and roundabouts.........you could have a good bet that there would be far less complaints than we get now.
Everyday in the lobby we get someone complainging so and so is a quitter.......very seldom do they even answer the acccuser. They simply dont give a ........
I wish EA could find a way we could resume as you can in tourneys........that could be impossible< I really dont know, but as it stands the game is a farse as are these tokens.
Many guys enjoy it and good on them........they are entitled to play anything they want.......they are not entitled to quit!!!!
No wonder the good clickers are still playing Cases Laddder....its the only honest game around as you report your losses to an independent body and if you fail to finish you lose.
Anyway as I said earlier if you get booted it takes 2 mins to apologies to the guy whos game you got tossed out of. People that dont .....left deliberatly !!! its as simple as that in my book. |

How about a sceenshot of the guy laughing and telling everyone how he quit and others having a giggle about it ?
I would post it here for 10 cents but I have too much respect for the guys on here.
Wonder if the NY Times would be intersted LOL |
