Quitting Apex Until this is fixed.

[Sir_Spanki]

I am quitting apex do the fact that you guys have the worst penalties I have ever seen in any game ever. My whole squad dies in 2nd place and one guy on my team has a gold shield without me realizing so I quit 2 seconds earlier than him dying to the 3 standing members of the enemy team. This has also happened way more than once and now... my penalty is even more ridiculous. Whenever I die early I always watch and cheer my team mates on, but because I forget you can come back with gold shield and just quit to hop in the next one. Im punished for it? I won't be playing again until this is fixed.

@Sir_Spanki Yeah. I agree. They have a bad system for penalties. I consider it worse than CSGO, which gives you a 30 day ban for griefing, aswell as 7 day bans for quitting matches, team-killing, and even getting kicked out of matches. Yes, you get penalized for being vote kicked out of games. Anyway, me and my friend were playing the normal Play Apex, and we both got 20 minute bans for leaving early. I have the clip.

Havn’t had a penalty yet but I im assuming the penalty keeps stacking up and getting longer everytime instead of getting shorter overtime playing so I had a thought that assuming a player dosn’t leave early every single match just a match every now and then that if lets say they have a 90 minute timer for every game they play without leaving knocks 5 minutes off the timer so thats still 18 games to reset back to 0 but if there not leaving every single game 18 games really isn’t alot this idea is more of an example and not accurate but another idea would be the same process but instead of 5 minutes it would be replaced with X Percentage of the total penalty to reward players for not leaving maybe the percentage could be placement based aswell? So being in top 10 5 or 3 would reduce more time off the timer aslong as they have patience and don’t leave the match til there squad is officially eliminated

top 10 -3%

top 5 -6%

top 3 -10%

Winning -12%

(numbers can be changed)

@Sir_Spanki

If it happened more than once, then its strange that you didnt learn your lesson the first time =)

@Sir_Spanki Spectate the enemy and then quit. It's simple.
Ranked needs more time and patience.
Diamond IV here, not even one penalty.
So you are doing something wrong.
Pay more attention to the game.
If you forget about gold shields then just remember to spectate and then quit.

The penalty system is asinine. You want people to play your game and not lock them out of it. I'm paired with another person who drops with me and a lone wolf who goes off in search of loot. The two of get downed and we are supposed to wait for our timer to expire and be forced to watch some loser lone wolf who doesn't understand teamwork.

Second part of the reason it's asinine is that you have weekly goals one or two being to get into the top five so you can level up. So, we force you to play a mode that you don't want to and then punish you once the round ends and you get stuck with some guy camping in the corner to scared to get into the fight.

You want to "punish" people for leaving a match early then dock them more 'rank xp' not lock them out. Developers of this portion of the game have no clue what the gamers would like, but are delusional.

Penalty systems this extreme are how you lose fan base and force your players to other games like Fortnite, Gears of War, etc. As stated above in another post, will not be playing this game until I hear that penalty system is removed, redesigned, or weekly goals no longer require ranked games.

You can remove me for 45 minutes. Just remember I don't require this game to survive, but Apex developers you do require players to survive. Good luck.

That was another idea to suggest alot more rank points deducted for leaving instead of temporarily banning everyone from all modes

[Sarrgeras]

these morons made the game penalize you if you leave while having golden downed shield and you are the only person remaining..... holy * christ

@RabidPrincipal 

The Apex penalty system isnt as extreme as in League of legend for instance. In Apex, its totally OK to be as toxic as you want, behave and troll as much as you want  and leave whenever you want in casual game modes. In ranked you get a timeout that gradually increases if you keep doing it. Compare that to LoL ;you get perma banned if you leave to many ranked games and you can get banned if you are too toxic or troll too much... Much harsher.

Also, you and I or anyone in here are just guessing if the leaver punishments actually is leading in a net loss of players. Yes, many of the rage quitters out there will ofc voice their disapproval and childishly declare how they now will uninstall but we dont know how many new players that now will keep playing  Apex because of it.

@Sir_Spanki As annoying as it can be to un-learn the muscle memory of quitting out instantly, this isn't a system issue. The system is fine and without it, you would have people leaving in ranked as soon as you took something they wanted, or they went down. Just be patient, at most it's a few minutes of your life.
