The leave count, in a way, encourages the first two.

All very well put Andika and I think seeing as there is no way of the game knowing what is a legitimiate leave and what isn't (and 'legitimate' can be quite subjective) the leave counter could be quite misleading. I know I've left captains and crew because there's been an intolerable lack of teamwork or a game's gone on longer than expected and I've had to dash or for whatever reason lag has made it unplayable and I'd rather an AI take my place, like you say.

Spud Nick:
I just took a look at my leave counter and it's higher than I thought.

Van Manfred:
I understand that it is my responsability to insure that I have a decent internet connection, and I will. Until it is done, thought, I'll restraint from playing.

Anyway, whatever happens with the Leave Count, I want to thank this very supportive forum and, most of all, the Muse team. I'll be back, and then you'd better watch for me, somewhere in the crimson skies.

Cheerios !!!

Cheesy Crackers:
It's really inevitable to NOT get any leaves on your counter. Gonna happen sooner or later. As long as the amount of leaves is smaller than matches played then its fine. I haven't actually been finding that many rage quitters myself and don't really check the leave count.

dragonmere:
In my opinion, if someone has terrible internet reliability, and they lose connection on a very regular basis, that *should* be reflected in their leave stat.

If I'm depending on you as the captain, and you disconnect, it doesn't really matter if it was because you are a terrible sport, or because Grandma picked up the phone line while you were dialed into AOL yet again.

If you leave in the middle of a match, it negatively affects your crew. If this is something that happened due to extreme circumstances, thats fine. If it's something that happens on a regular basis, I'd like to know.

I think part of the problem is that the leave count couldn't be grandfathered in. This leads to players, like myself, with ~3000 games completed, and 0 recorded leaves. I fully admit that I, much as everyone else who plays this game, have left matches due to disconnects. With this stat in place now, eventually my leave count will reflect that. And I'm OK with that.

The problem is, new players are seeing older accounts, such as mine, and thinking there's some expectation to make it to several thousand matches without a single leave.

There's not.
