There should be some form of karma-feature, where you can commend or de-commend teammates.
Then it should work by pairing players with bad karma with other at the bottom, as well as pairing players with good karma.
They probably already have a way to segregate players into quitters and stayers because they can track player activity in many ways. A karma system would just be a meme after a while.
I'd say don't leave it up to players to decide on this karma level, but have it automatic at least. But I don't believe a karma system will have any value after a while.
Developers should really look at strong incentives to keep players staying even if they are downed with as an example, an increasing XP multiplier.
If you stay after being downed, you're a team player and this should somehow be rewarded by the game.
There should be more reasons to earn XP like increasing level cap beyond 500 or adding a total XP counter/tracker to show how dedicated the player really is.
Because a lot of level 500 players don’t need more XP and they never buy the season pass.
First rework the XP system for all players, even those that aren't on the battle pass, then introduce a "team player rewarding system" based on XP or other strong rewards that makes quitters into stayers. In worst case, maybe you should lose some XP if you quit out, but before penalizing, try motivating and rewarding.
People staying means game mechanics communications from EA/Respawn.
There's none. This is a great game without any surrounding storytelling. People play this BR as a team deathmacth game.
Arenas solve this, but only partially.
The only possibilities would be to entice the players to understand game basics.
- Make game tutorials, there are none. Make people use all items and shoots enemy targets to understand how to fight.
- Reward survival instead of kills (unwind season one ranked positions + keep season 8 adjustements)
- People don't leave as long as they can interact. Add downed time when players are super far from the average team member.
- Remove solo drop (see my post in those forums) from the ship and the first seconds + add blocked time if team dies before hitting the ground, ban if too frequent.
- Create a quick loaded solo or team game mode (select legends before the game, then join queue, no loading time)
- Add an explore mode for all maps.
Those people are animals. Playing a game they shouldn't play. They don't understand game basics, they don't reward developers, they saturate servers, they're just cannon fodder.
The problem is that people can't progress outside maps, too. So they have little time to play, they do it casually, and AL requires all the time you can play per day (3 hours at least) to simply progress within months instead of years. Which is totally paradoxical.
The problem is not about players quitting. You can't prevent that, despite season 3 adjustements to detect Windows process killing, network unplugging etc.
The problem is the source of this behaviour. You can't argue over how to extinguish a fire you can't control instead of simply preventing the fire to happen.
