Why do people quit ?
-
I only quit when I'm completely outclassed and its late enough in the game that there's no hope of victory. My time is valuable, and I'd rather not waste it playing every last out of a lost cause just so my opponent can stroke his ego by padding stats against an inferior player

Quitter suffer from THS....
Tiny heart syndrome......
If you quit you shouldnt be able to a diamond or reach world series.
Quitting is a terrible character trait. I've been beat 11-1 b4 its humbling you take it on the chin you get up dust off and move on. Learn. But do not be a quitter.One of the most far off posts I have witnessed on here. It’s a game homes.
Right... this is the guy that will ask a girl out 200 times, get a restraint order and still try to ask her out because “quitting is for tiny hearts”
Dude, did you really just compare playing a competitive sports game to asking a girl out ? LOL
.... Man if you even feel that’s close to being comparable, good luck out there... Hey, just using the real world like he did.... he doesn’t quit in anything right? Lol

Quitting does not always = Failure in life
Quitting can = moving on to a better life and situation

That's sports, someone wins someone loses and you try your best and if you lose at least you tried... What is the mind set of playing a sports game when you can't accept a loss? I can't even understand that mind set... Playing online is just hopeless with all the quitters...
I think this year it actually has more to do with strategy honestly, at least on my end. If your down a lot early you have to bring in relievers or a starter out of the pen, and with energy this year you can either tax your entire bullpen for a game your in reality not gonna win, meaning you have no arms for the next game, or coincide the game and save your arms and have a better shot at the next game.
I completely agree maybe they should implement this for mlb..it would save bullpens for many teams

Cancer gave you no choice, you either win that battle or you could die, so I’m glad you won... That’s not a sporting event though, that’s life or death, not comparable...
Yes I had no choice with cancer, but I guess you skipped over the first part where I said I tore my acl my senior year and went to a jc and earned d1 scholarships, I think that qualifies as comparable...
Well, that’s an injury, you never quit a game because you were losing and didn’t like the result ...

Well yeah, but not in the context of a sporting event... Quitting is fine if you like feeding wild Grizzly Bears Fig Newtons, you might live a longer life quitting that one ...

That debate holds no weight, obviously there are times when quitting is good, like if you're a heroin addict... But quitting is not good if you're swimming across a river, or running from a lion... So let's keep it in context... Quitting during a sporting event because it's not going your way is weak, and way too many people online do it, and I would say don't play sports if you can't handle losing, because it's gonna happen ...

It has plenty of weight, go back and read what you said, If you quit in a video game you will quit your whole life and not be a winner, winners do not quit. Did you not say that. Would you like to make a new statement on quitting at a video game vs real life.

At this point your grasping at whatever you can to still think your right, give up... your talking about not quitting during a video game is more about ego then about being a winner. Your ego is what is making you still think your right, not your “winners mentality”. True winning at life is combing wisdom and mental strength. You not quitting a video game cause your getting blown out or no hope of winning is more about boosting your ego to be able to say “I never quit”, and not about an actual winners mentality

I used to never quit games even if i was getting blown out. I usually used those games to experiment. But lately if the game is getting too frustrating or im not feeling I just quit. The other day I quit a tie game in the 7th or 8th just because of how frustrating it was. So why spend my time doing something Im obviously not enjoying. When i can do something I will.

Criticizing quitters is silly. I am a 400-550 RS player who is hitting .173 with every elite card. When the game starts I always pause and check my opponents batting avg. If every player in his lineup is .350+ I quit. I have no chance. Hitting that well online should not be matched with players like me. Rankings should only be based on hitting ability.

I kike this idea. Wonder if that would give a small deterrent to boosting?

That's different though, you're looking at a match-up and evaluating it, and not starting a game, falling behind and quitting because you don't like the result, so that's not a big deal, you're not even invested in the game neither is the other player.... I can respect that...
