Community ManagerI don't know that the instigator penalty really applies. The auto-fights happen when you injure someone with a hit. I have a feeling people would still hit just as often even with the chance of an instigator. Which isn't really fair if you're not actually instigating a fight. I'd rather just see the option to decline the fight and have both players take offsetting minors.

Sounds like you're not overly familiar with the rule. The person who starts the fight gets the instigator, not the hitter. If you're going to have auto fights, the instigator penalty(the dude who slams triangle when his teammate gets hit) needs to be implemented. THAT would deter people from forcing the hitter into a fight, because it would put the hitter's team on the powerplay.

If it only happened under these circumstances, then I can see the instigator being a good way to curb that behavior. I'm talking about auto-fights in general though. I really don't like them and wish they were removed, but the intention is that if you hurt someone, a teammate is going to stand up for them. Which, is pretty true to life. What you're talking about isn't an auto-fight. It's accepting the choice to fight. Regardless, I'm in agreement with you.
