WGT really need to get around to adding a button to drop game AFTER a player gets dc'd and can't get back in the game....just like the option during the game to agree to end match.
I've been 2 up...3 up on games and my partner (some on friends list...some I don't know from Adam) gets dc'd. As it stands...I'd lose the game....just as I have on numerous times whilst 2 or 3up.
Don't want to hear the usual crap ...." how many minutes do you think is satisfactory to wait for them to reconnect?"...because that's not addressing the issue.
If the player has an ISP outage or line goes down there ain't a lot I'm gonna be able to do about it especially if it's just someone I got paired with but don't know...It would be nice if I was 2 up or 3 up to be able to ask the other team if they wanted to drop the game....if my partner was taking too long....i.e 3 or 4 minutes.
I've had this happen to me a lot of times and it just makes a farce of the alt shot stats.....it's crazy that a team can be 3 up...then lose the game because the other player in the leading team gets DC'd and the only option available is to sit like an idiot waiting the 5 mins ...or forfeit the game when you're ahead. <-- clever huh?.
Happened again to me tonight...fair do's the game was level...but my partner got dc'd.....so what am I supposed to do???? stick needles in my a$$ for 5 mins.
Games should be won and lost on skill or errors of judgement....not if a player's ISP sux at certain times of the day.
just sayin'
