  I might be wrong, but anyone corect me by all means, my % was 87 this morning, i played 2 rounds (ranked) on my own and the next time i looked it had risen to 90.

  Can someone clarify this for everyone i suppose!

  WGT is looking at your last 30 games for this %. Your % goes up accordingly as older disconnects drop off the 30 that count.

  I certainly hope wgt scrap's this idea as soon as possible.

  Don't bet on it!  If there's a way to make money off of it, its here to stay. 

  Also coming in the October release.....

  

  And while I'm at it, why is it called a Disconnect % when it shows the % of games completed?  Shouldn't WGT call it a Completion %?

  Hi icon Pleased to see that the 'Disconnect %' will be removed from 'Alternate Shot Games' in the near future.I think this is the right move until WGT is able to differentiate between the many reasons for 'disconnections'.My own % reduced by a further 3 to 90% yesterday following a 'game' in which my partner 'disconnected' for no good reason except one bad shot;this annoyed me and can't be right, Regards 'pipelson'

  WGTicon:

  Quitting has 2 sides

  1. Inadvertent

  2. On purpose

   

  Well now, seems you've correctly identified the problem. If I may, how 'bout you distinguish between the two ? You say you have no way of doing this, yet I've suggested a "fail safe" whereby one must "X" out twice to leave the game, after a pop-up asks if you want to continue. That, would be a "deliberate" disconnect and should affect a players percentage. Penalising three innocents because you claim to have no way of differentiating between "inadvertant" and "on purpose" is just another lame excuse to say "we can't be bothered". C'mon people, give it a little thought, you asked for player input, I'm asking for an explanation as to why this wouldn't work.
