    I'm done, why try hard anymore?
    They match you up against higher mks, and say..."the total mk of each team is equal, if the other has high mks, yours should too"
    ...
    Well how bout that...the higher mk whos supposed to fight is the one AFK! just so he can smurf on low infamies later..
    I try my best to win, but why bother?
    I have lost a lot of matches that we could have won just because the our last ship standing is afk....

    Are you reporting these players for their AFK or "floating" behavior? Such action, if deliberate, is against the Fair Play policy and will earn them an account suspension.

    I went through a spate of reporting players for floating. I would watch back the video before I sent any reports as it is possible to have really bad luck and get 0 damage.
    Having done that, I’ve seen a lot less floaters recently. I don’t know if more people have also been actively reporting players, and so there are less in the Bay or what, but I’ve seen a definite decline in floaters. Hopefully the ‘floater’ rate is decreasing at all infamy levels.

    I think you might be making some bad mistakes in battle. Some of these battles where actually fair. 2,3,4. Check out my post under strategies about map control. Hopefully that’ll help you improve your gameplay.

    I'd like to remind people to stay polite and that for the most part the "I'm Quitting" threads don't tend to last long.

    OP on the other hand seems to be having an issue with floating/AFK players which is a different issue.

    As much as i dont like the idea of mk4 or mk5s being paired with mk2s, i can pretty much tolerate it, if i the weakest on my team, ill look for the weakest on the opposite team and ill do my best to help out, however, when the strongest on my is afk, whats a noob like me suppose to do in that situation, that is why i like the idea of only the same mks being paired together, so if one member is afk, its not that much of an imbalance because the rest can still manage,however in a situation where an mk5 is with an mk2, and the mk5 decides to afk, how is the mk2 suppose to fight the other team who is an mk5 and an mk2 also? The total mk of each team may be equal, but when one is afk or loses connection, the game is pretty much over

    Honestly, it is really nice of you to actually review the video to see who is AFK rather than just auto reporting. I don’t even go that far. I can pretty quickly tell during a game if a player hasn’t left the starting position. I’ll even report players that just run head first into the enemy and suicide. That is worse than being AFK. I see way too many speeders obviously doing this on purpose.

    AFK players suck. They ruin games. I suggested a long time ago that a timer be placed and any player that doesn’t have input in a time window during a match is taken over by bots. These bots would have to be smarter than the dummies we play at the beginning of the game. But at least they’d be doing something. And then that player would receive 0 rewards.
