Not sure if we’ve been playing the same game. Check out the previous updates they made to the game or ask another forumer, you’ll see what I mean.
I know what you’re talking about. Quitting in gears 5 giving you a time out from matchmaking for quitting ranked, it did that on release. I don’t quit often, so maybe they disabled it temporarily because of the server Instability, but I can assure you it was there at launch.
First time I hear about this. Than I guess they did disable it very quickly, which is why everyone got up in arms when they started banning people out of the blue. And going at it retroactively no less.
Guess I haven’t quit for a while, I had assumed it was in place the whole time. I specifically remember thinking a half hour was a long time for a first offense.
Man that would be great if they display the ban process during exit
If my lady come downstairs and give me a good BJ while I’m playing the game guess what I’m backing out 
And for the record the quick matches are TRASH SAUCE the heck with quick play…
Please don’t. Players of all ages game, I’m in my fifties and I’m hardly on Gears 5, in fact it’s been about a week again. Also I’ve met many kids that are more mature and better gamers than some of the adults I’ve met.
*zips up pants after he’s done
*searches for ranked match and finds out he’s banned again
*comes back to forum and complains again

Stop quitting?

It’s not about being a better gamer. 12 year olds being more mature than adults seem like those adults have some serious issues…Freud would have a blast with those…
There’s custom groups asking for 18+ age, because there’s things you just won’t say in presence of minors.
Cod players are a whole different type of gamer than gears players. Cod is point and click. I find it dull. Ever since the first modern warfare came out I’ve not been able to play it for longer than a week due to the simplicity.
Gears shouldn’t be afraid of a game like cod whatsoever. Different playstyle, different playerbase. They should’ve just postponed the release instead of feeling pressured by a game that they shouldn’t even consider a threat. A well delivered gears game will have its audience.
This, however, even though I do enjoy parts of it, can’t be called gears of war. I understand the name change to gears. It doesn’t deserve the original name due to some serious flaws.
I hope, and think, that they will be resolved. Because I do enjoy the fundamentals. Just not the way some of them are currently implemented. The aim assist in ranked(Make it like escalation)the bullet magnetism and the seperation of PC and xbox should go, imo. That will resolve some big issues in the competitive aspect of the game. Then they can build from there on out

Suddenly I understand why people afk rather than quit. Their dogs are eating dem sausages.

Or make a functional product.
yeah i noticed that in a few matches. was going to say the quit percentage was almost 0 now. but you get afk people but do they get kicked like in quick play or can they stay full match?
Same here. It’s absolute BS and the quit penalties are not enough.
Rather than just putting people in timeout… If you legitimately quit a game, you should be demoted 50% of your rank.
That will stop people who quit to preserve their rank.
The servers need work before doing that, but it needs to be done. Quitters are the bane of my versus existence in this game
But it won’t stop anyone that doesn’t care. So… let’s do both.
Ive had someone who afked 3 rounds of koth. With an open mic.
Didn’t get kicked, so I think you can just afk without getting kicked.
For me, the most important thing is:
If there is a quiter, get the option to leave without penalty nor rank change. So pretty much make it so it doesn’t count whatsoever

Exactly.
Why should I be forced to stay in a game that I’ll probably lose, due to one selfish person ruining it for everyone else?
Gears 4 let you quit without penalty if someone else quit. After 3 minutes you could quit I believe?
Why can’t we in 5? Losing ranking points due to quitters is the most infuriating thing in ranked matches.
I do believe that’ll change, though. But it does feel like this isn’t season 1 but rather season 0. Which… shouldn’t happen
