Please, Remove Profle's Leave Count

--- Quote ---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.

Lol I can only imagine the horror of leave counts when GOI had their memory leak, and crashing was pretty much a norm for awhile.

Son, you have a strange and wonderful way with words...

I agree with Dragonmere here, I need to know the reliability of my co captains. However, I really only look at it for lower level players. I'll be honest, the higher your rank, the more I'm going to initially trust you. If I see a level 1 or 2 captain with over 2 dozen leaves (seen it), I'm probably going to ask you to not be my co captain. Then again, if a level 5 or higher joins in, I probably won't even care what his or her number is until they give me a reason to doubt them. I don't think the leave count is that big of a deal, I just think everyone needs to take this stat with a grain of salt.

I've had my game crash on me twice now, and so now I've got leaves. Oh well, I'm not sweating over it.

Mr. Ace Rimmer:
With the community being so close knit, once you've played 50+ games, people begin to get to know you, your personality and your strengths and weaknesses. They tend to ignore the leave counter at this point as long as you are following Guns of Icarus Online rule #1 (aka Wheaton's law): Don't be a dick!

It can look iffy to begin with, but if you play a few games with people questioning your leave count without leaving, it's all good. Most are also happy to accept disconnects, especially when the player involved explains what happened (and there can be any number of reasons for a disconnect from faulty graphics cards to router hiccups etc)

Emperor Phoenix:
My main issue with the leave counter is the fact that it went up when I left a match I was spectating... Dwell on this.

You should mail that in to Muse then. I've left several matches during spectating and have not been given a match leave.
