Title: Kick/leaching nominations with high multiplier
Post by: Penitent on June 15, 2011, 05:30:55 pm
I am sick of getting kicked for "leaching" when I'm on 4x and 5x. 

how about this...make it so when you are nominated for leaching, purple text flies all over your screen FOR THE ENTIRE 60 SECONDS so you don't miss it.

Or how about this...a "final countdown" of purple text when you have 10 seconds left to respond.

Or how about this...remove player nominated leaching

I live with my wife, so I get tapped on the shoulder a lot when I play, and have to turn away for a few seconds, where I miss the purple text.  Also when I have to pee, or get a drink.  I always seem to miss it.  Not everyone has this problem..but there has to be a better way.  Right?

This. Also, make it possible to press M after dying.

Strange, this never happen to me, i was never nominated, may be because i'm always moving, or may be because when i want to pee or drink i go on spectator mode, dunno.

Otherwise, this should be possible to press M when your dead.

If it fills the screen it could be used to deliberately mess up players during a fight.  The notice is quite visible so long as you're at your computer to see it.  If you're not at your computer when your character is still alive then you're consciously not contributing to your team and occupying a slot on the server which could go to somebody who would.  If this is the case then you're a leecher.

What is a leecher?  Someone who logs in the server with minimal equipment and goes afk with the purpose of gaining gold and xp without doing any work.

Getting up to use the washroom, get something, or get a book off the top shelf for the wife and then returning to the computer is not being a leecher, it is being human.

We should remove this feature and let admins decide who to kick.   

OR, we should have the servers auto-kick someone who is not active for a while. 

There has to be a better way.  I've suggested having a 5 or 10 sec countdown to warn those that missed the first purple message.  All these suggestions would be an improvement over the current system, i believe!

Go in spectator, mate, and take time to kiss your wife before returning to your computer, you even have the time to go further.

Or just remove the nomination on any key press, not just M.

Sure I see the argument of someone just tapping their movement keys once in a while, while watching TV. But now they just tap M instead.

remove penalty and reward - people would still kick leechers because people dont like leechers and noone would nominate people who are just away for 10 sec.

Remove it. Its useless (leechers can easily spam the M key while watchin tv or reading) and it annoys the real players that simply take a piss for 1 min or buy stuff on the website.
