Ice Q

So what happened with ice q? I don't really play many game modes. Yet I don't really see it being shown off at all. Did I miss something? What was it's point? I am just curious not hating. Just gene...

That might actually make it worse. When there's no punishment and no rank to play for, it would probably encourage more trolling.

I honestly don't think the trolls care one bit for their rank or view losing it as punishment. And as you said, better anti-griefing measures would go a long way towards dealing with them. Even as someone who avoids drop-ins at all costs I'm aware of several trolls who have been active under the same accounts for years. This just shouldn't be allowed.

Maybe just take rank out of full drop-in games and reserve rank increase/decrease for club.

That's what I was suggesting. Taking rank out of the drop-in mode would at the very least alleviate some of the problems getting full games. If what people tell me is true, one of the big issues is that people are so concerned about their RP they will back out of lobbies just because it looks like they may have bad/new players on their team.

I’m against removing/hiding rank from drop ins. I play with a lot of different groups of friends but I also enjoy the randomness of drop ins as I’ve always been a bit of a lone wolf. That’s how I’ve met and became friends with tons of other players throughout the years.

When EA does their “auditing” that’s when drop ins are a real S show. That’s when a lot more people don’t give a crap so they F around and troll a lot more. I play for fun but I’m very competitive and hate losing! I’m one of those players that will back out if I get a low level teammate. They’re more likely to risk my RP which is why I primarily play because I like the grind to platinum/diamond/elite. Take RP and that away from me and they’ve lost me as a customer/player.
