Hey guys. Just a quick thought, can people stop leaving races just because there are at the back or things just ain't going there way. I get everyone wants to be the best and all that but a come back to me feels much better than leading a lonely race. Not that I lead that many lol. All the best guys and happy racing ?

Normally I expect NODOs to not rage quit, as it is written in our community guidelines. But well, with 1000 members and not even 200 'regular' members, this can happen. I was pretty brutal taken out in a race yesterday, but that was from someone whose name I never heard before. Maybe the problem is gone after the next purge.

Well, maybe they just got disconnected.

There may be a thread like this already, but it's mostly the newbies to the crew that do this. I don't understand why they join a largely race focused crew just to leave when they are losing.

Had the same problem yesterday, he started in the back he kept up pretty good but he did alot of dirty overtaking, almost taking me out at one point, he rage quit at the last lap after i finished. Still got some screen shots of his gamer tag, but like you said he's probably gonna disappear after the purge.

I get that this can be aggravating, but people are going to leave races if they are in this crew or not in this crew. I personally try to stick in a race for as long as I can. But whether it is from raging or just because they had to leave, who cares? Hot-lapping a track for five minutes isn't the most boring thing in the world.

If I have to leave (like for the door) I just park my car some place nice, not wuit overall! Extra cash for the rest

What gets to me more than people just quitting is people who quit and leave their cars in the middle of the racing line... Their cars then turn into an NPC and start driving around, generally causing chaos. Disconnects are one thing but if you leave, please leave your vehicle away from the track so it doesn't ruin it for everyone else.

I don't generally leave races, only when there is only 1 or 2 enemies and they're agressive assholes and ruin every last bit of fun.

I love being in the back on my own, trying new lines, no pressure just relaxing. Don't see why people would ragequit. But at the end I'm the guy always driving a orange Banshees with sports. I don't care if I win. If I can keep up with a Massacro in my Banshee, I'm more than sadisfied.

This happens a lot. Especially if you join a random race.
It always happens when the host is somebody with silly racing stats like 300 wins and 50 lost. They pick a track they know and use it to farm wins just for the stats.
If you get a head of them by 5 or more seconds they quit. Sure enough the same invite comes through minutes later for the same track by the same host.

Not gonna mention any names, but I've seen a couple guys on the PS3 side with really good records who just so happen to quit/disconnect when they're clearly losing. It honestly comes off as petty and sad. I always have extra respect for guys with 20/80 win loss ratios who tough it out and race respectfully, that's a much bettor look than trying to keeping your record above .500.
On the other hand, don't get expect me to stick around for every race in a 12 race playlist unless it's a planned event.

I have started from scratch on ps4 so I am in the process of building up my race wins again to unlock all car mods and although I can only join with stock cars atm rage quitting is something I hate and will never do even to the point where when the clock starts ticking and i know I wont make it to the finish line I will carry on.

The worst is when you don't get any invites to races for hours and no one will join commonly known races; but then, finally some is joining . Then half way through the first lap they wreck or are behind the pace so they quit . It could be a disconnect but you can usually tell when it's rage quit.

People quit because they think they're the best at everything, and when it's shoved in their face that they are not, their low self esteem can't handle it and they quit like a little child.
Or get disconnected. But when you're last and miles behind... we all know you rage quit like a sissy.
