The list goes on and on really. In fact, there isn't a Master I have played with (other than perhaps Marioh) that doesn't quit rounds. We are the cream of the crop, so to speak, and you know what we think about quitting? We don't care
. It's never mattered to any Master I've ever played with. We all quit multiplayer rounds on a regular basis. It's so widely accepted a practice that none of us even mention it anymore. The days of disclaiming about quitting ended sometime last year for most of us who have been around. We mostly play to the last hole, the last putt, and whoever wants out is free to go, no explanations needed.
So you see, you really are in the minority with this 'penalty for quitters' thing. We all hear and understand your point of view on the matter quite clearly. You aren't the first nor the last, just another voice in the minority choir. If that fact doesn't sit well with you, I'm sorry. It's just something you have to live with.
My suggestion to you, and every other person who has issues with other players quitting rounds, is to simply play Practice rounds in multiplayer mode. Honestly, the multiplayer system is in shambles here, and should never have been ranked in the first place. Inviting people in Practice mode will give you the best chance of completing a game with your fellow players. If indeed it is the spirit of the game you are after and not the average itself, then you'll find no objection to my suggestion.
In the meantime, leave this whole issue alone. WGT is not going to penalize people for quitting rounds. That would discourage play for too many people, and as we've seen with their policies towards multiple accounts etc., they are more interested in keeping the # of rounds and players high than they are about instituting fair and balanced systems. They know their multiplayer system is flawed, so they are not really in a position to impose any penalties on anyone.
This post and Nivlac's post on another thread
pretty well sum up and end the debate. I'm sure people will go on an on about it nevertheless, in vain.
