We Really Need to Address the Drowning / Griefing Issue. THIS Should not being Happening SO often
There's a lot about WoT that frustrates me. Most of it I can handle. But THIS absolutely grinds my gears.
The sheer amount of players I see drowning or killing themselves at the end of games TELLS ME that these player's are NOT being punished, or not nearly harshly enough. (I am on NA, but I imagine it isn't any better on the EU)
There is no excuse for this behavior. If you want to move on to the next game because you know you are losing, drive into enemy fire and die. Like the rest of us. Or better yet, go down fighting. It's literally as simple as that.
But no, these people would rather intentionally deny the enemy team a deserved kill because they are sore losers. Let's call it for what it is, this is intentional greifing. These people don't want to play by the rules because they think they are above the rest of us who die fighting.
The Solution:
WG please skip the 1-3 day bans with these individuals and go straight to 7-day, month, then perma-bans for repeat offenders. Let them clearly know that this is 3-strikes your out. People are trying to complete missions and playing with these griefing morons is insufferable.
While you are at it, under the in-game report system please add a drop own where we can specifically report for self-destruction / griefing. Thanks.
Yes I am sending in tickets for both of these fools.
Edit: I also think that players who drown / self-destruct at the beginning on games (because XVM tells them they have 18% win chance reeeee) should also catch bans. I am focusing on end of battle drowners because it happens so much more often.
Edit 2: Tbh I never thought that something that is literally in the rules would be so controversial. No one is making you go drown. Not the MM, not your stupid teammates. Because guess what? I go through the same exact meat grinder match-making that we ALL do and somehow I have never once drowned myself… make no mistake this isn’t about entitlement. It about fairness. We all lose, and sometimes we will lose badly. Suck it up, raise your gun and accept that your team lost. Simple as that guys.
