Re: We need to eliminate the quitters!

  This is a great game. The only annoying part for me, and those I've played against, is matches against people who quit mid game. VERY annoying.

  How about a rating system, like EBay uses on sellers. You could show the rating when you are matched up against someone, and decline games with quitters, or abusive players (not many, but there are a few)

  Alternately, if I had the ability to have my own blacklist, or unfriends!, so that anyone I put on this list does not get matched up against me (cos I forget the names of some of the duds!!)

  That idea has been suggested, but I doubt WGT implements it for the simple fact people sometimes have legitimate reasons for disconnecting. 

  Keep a pen and paper handy so you can right down the names of the members you know won't quit, and friend them.

  I gave a suggestion for the same thing a few days ago. Yeah sometimes people have a good reason and they have to disconnect, everyone has that happen to them sometimes.

  Still there should be a number by the players name stating the percentage of completed rounds. Anywhere in the 90 percentile range is very respectable and have green numbers. people might have a good reason to quit, but it doesn't happen that often. Anything in the 80 range is somewhat questionable and has yellow numbers and so on. You would still be able to get games but a bit harder.

  This would add much more incentive to finish games. Right now the only thing for incentive to finish games are XP points, but people care more about their average then gaining  XP.
