The reason I love being able to leave WZs with no penalty

I don't really blame people who leave WZs, I can see where they (some of 'em at least) are coming from. Personally I try and tough it out. With one exception.

Meeting a well-organised premade who do a quick score (succesful defend and fast attack, capping all three turrets, scoring 5-0) and then just.. farm for medals. I'm dropping those games like a hot potato. No way am I going to hang around and get farmed for 5+ (or more in Huttball) minutes, I'm quitting and getting another WZ.

Penalties.. fine. Just somehow make it so you won't get penalised for dropping a match like that.

3) The level 10s may already know what you in your infinite skill claim to have known at level 10, and I doubt you entered in lvl 10 blues/oranges, even with your skill.

4) If you die or make a mistake, everyone else is to blame.

Did I do it right?
Yes, you got that right.

Fail OP is fail.

Should they apply a deserter debuff for those who leave the game, I'll likely resort to afking in games I no longer feel like playing in. I, personally, feel that afking in instanced pvp is generally bad form, because it takes up a slot that could otherwise go to somebody who would actually be willing to put forth effort toward winning the match. But I care more about my own characters and my own personal gain than I care about the other 7 random people in the warzone with me.

I know that this is probably going to anger, annoy, and/or frustrate you to hear that I'm likely to do this, because you don't want to be stuck in a game with people who go afk and leech valor, and I wouldn't blame you for feeling that way. But look at it this way: if Bioware didn't force me to be funneled through instanced pvp zones that I don't want to play in, and match up with players who are more worried about farming medals than actually winning the WZ match, and then tell me that I'll get punished if I try to leave the match, then I wouldn't even consider afking to begin with.

If I don't see people on my team smart enough to do that ( a very, very simple and basic tactic), I'm definitely out. I'd rather wait 15 minutes not PvPing than waste 15 minutes with a bad team and no hope of winning.
lo, you play a sorc. Why am I not surprised...?

There is one single reason why I leave warzones: it's huttball. As long as i can't choose what to que for, I'll leave huttball. Period.
Please ignore my bad english. I'm a non-native speaker.

A simpler solution is don't pay $15 to be angry.

But you go ahead and act entitled. =D

I want to play civil war, voidstar, but nooooo....6 out of 10 wz´s guess what: huttball, with our beloved giradda the hutt and his minions with annoying voice.

I cant hear "FROG DOGS TO FROG DOGS, NICE AAASS!!!" anymore or "LETS GO BEEEEEEERSEEEEEEEEEERK".
Turn off the voice volume in sound preferences. Makes Huttball much more tolerable.

Currently, I have don't plan to resub once my 3-month subscription runs out. But until such a time, I have every right to play the game and voice my opinions how I deem fit.

However, thank you for your concern.

I somewhat agree with the OP. I hate queing and getting placed in a 0-5 match of hutt ball or a 3 cap Alderaan and why should I have to play with people that dont not play to win. If you want to farm kills/medals instead of the pvp objectives thats fine, do what you are paying to do. Just dont expect me to play on a team that has 4 people with their heads up their collective 4th point of contact. Leave the no penalty in place add a vote to kick player or for (x) reason and add feature that allows me to look at the score of a game before I waste my time in the laod screen for it.

Sounds like you live a pretty bitter life.

I mean, generally I don't pay 3-month subscriptions for something I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy. That's like complaining after you've bought a month's supply of Pistachios and you'd never even tried them beforehand.

So instead of owning up to your mistake, your plans are to be selfish and make your teammates gameplay experiences as awful as you can because you can't get past your delusional, entitled attitude.

Man, I love the internet.
