Realms Too proud to lose

[tyroflas]

Greetings,

Many people leave the battlegroung in-combat to avoid being killed, so do i, and many players.
But i find it annoying having the ability to leave the battleground in order to avoid being killed.

Make it so you can't leave a battleground if you are in-combat, same as Wintergrasp.

Thanks.

Isn't leaving a battleground and getting deserter debuff enough of a punishment?

Did i mention any other punishment that you find too much?
The hole point is to prevent people from leaving battleground in-combat, not to add any further punishment.

There is a certain couple that would stop playing immediately if this was implemented.

PvP people are that petty? Well, I doubt anything will happen.

Let's humor the suggestion, just in the case this comes more prevalent issue, similar to people teleporting to RDF safety. Add the same 10 second no combat rule to leaving BG's.

Sadly yes, since it's not a thing by now.

Nice example.

Of course. The Strange Feeling debuff, like the rest, are too powerful to be wasted on a random Battleground..

Why be upset about it? I honestly laugh every time someone leaves like that. I mean, imagine being so scared of dying in a game that you’d rather disappear than take the loss. If that’s how they handle PvP, I can only imagine how they deal with real-life pressure, probably hide under the bed when the Wi-Fi goes out. Leaving a battleground just to avoid a death? That’s peak coward energy.

They do it so they don't die and lose all their vanity buffs / flasks.

Most the time I just see it as rage quitting. And that's understandable. Some games are lopsided and mentally you just get fed up. In that scenario I'd say fine let them leave whatever. I think it's even fulfilling when you know you've pushed a player out that hard.

The scenario that annoys me though are the players who play like cowards and use every utility to not die even if it means screwing their team over. So they sit there at 30 - 0 or whatever topping the charts scrap killing the easy targets. Then a smart player gets the upper hand on them cutting off their escape. Those players deserve to die instead of leaving. I have macros for /chicken and "YOU LOSE" just for those players.

By the way, because of what I assume is a bug, you can't read what people from the other team say during battlegrounds, so don't waste your time using the latter macro.
