The people quitting are NOT first timers! They are Masters on down! I started 3 games tonight with all Masters & Tour Pros and never got to finish a single one! The first 2 games froze when they left... the 3rd & last game (both Masters), left on the second hole! Don't tell me they didn't know how to navigate through a game!!!
They start out badly and just leave! What? No birdie yet? Gone!!! It's BS!!!
Let's don't stop at TM's.
In the last few days I have been involved in 4 different games that were staffed by, yes I know it's hard to believe and I'm sure someone will require a snapshot , but they were Legends!!!.... Yes, Legends!!! and the legends snuck out the back door without as much as a sideways glance. Two in one game and one in each of the other games.
Still wasn't as bad as the 3 TM's who seemed to be having a fine round until the 6 th hole when I looked around and I was all alone.
I do agree that the lower the rating the more apt this is to occur but make no mistake, it's rampant throughout the levels.
Thank you.
I've had a couple Tour Masters quit as well. What I was responding to was the comment that dealing with quitting would result in people leaving. That would not happen. But if it were an issue for new comers, heck, let them work it out. But once someone has moved up the ranks, they should know better than messing up other people's games.
But I agree with you.
Some of these guys who are posting in favor of quitting or calling it 'freedom' are looking at it from a "me first" attitutude. Forget the other players. I want to quit, it is my right, so there. Eat it! Unfortunate.
And they comment about my being too upset with this issue. Well, just like you, I might play 2 or more games in a day where not one ends with all starting players. And often, the game gets hung up as well. That would frustrate anyone who actually starts a game with the intention of playing the whole game!
But statistically speaking, I find that if I play Tour Masters and Legends that I have a slightely better chance of getting to finish the whole game...start to finish. I say "slightly better", not perfect.
If I had been quitting games because of a few unwelcome boogies, I'd been a Legend long ago. I like knowing that at least my ranking and average is based on playing, not score padding.
