Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing

@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing:
A recent opponent had the brass neck to ask for a "Friendly" Quit while losing 6-0 in the 3rd inning.
I think that if/when such things are reported, the offending player should receive - at minimum - a 24-hour ban from playing online.
I also think that the game should incorporate a system whereby it's not possible to ask for an FQ beyond a certain threshold, or better still requiring more than one button press to accept an FQ.
Thoughts?
Some of you take your video games way too seriously. A ban because someone asked for a FQ while losing? TF am I reading? Just decline it and keep playing. Your opponent will probably quit anyway.
The uselessness of what people like you choose to care about in a video game is astounding.

Dude. Pump the brakes.
Real men don't bang trash cans..... It's childish not to forgive and forget....
Double check yourself.
Regarding FQ, who cares. They are never used legit. That's the bottom line. The fact that you and I are arguing over it, is pointless. Just like hitting O in the FQ, you could have ignored the post by me and move on. Instead, you got snide. I replied.
Don't care what you do for a living. I'm 47 and work with kids all day too. I also reply to kids on these forums.
My opinion.. FQ needs to go.
I'm genuinely curious why you are so adamant that FQ needs to go. I understand that you don't accept them for any reason, and that's fine. But I don't understand why you feel they need to be abolished entirely.
I would think having them in the game would give someone who always denys them an advantage. If only for the fact that once in awhile you'd be matching up with someone sending friendly quits until they match up with a favorable record.
I'm not at all looking to argue, I'm just trying to see where you are coming from and get a better understanding of your side.
Most people don't use FQ for legit purposes. You need to accept that to understand my point of view. 95% of FQ are bantha poodu.
My reasoning for removing it, is that there are chronic FQ people that send it EVERY GAME that they are planning to quit and are losing. It's a cultural issue of people using a game mechanic in an attempt to avoid the L. If one person out of 20 that they send the FQ to take it in error, they will continue to do it.
If the dog needs to go out, if I have to take a call, flip the laundry, get the doorbell etc, pause or quit. If something comes up that I need to shut down instead of playing, I should shut the machine off and take care of business.
FQ users are the same folks that dashboard.
So, you dashboard/"shut the machine off" are you the same as a FQer?

Make friendly quit only available before the first pitch.
No. Friendly quits before the first pitch are usually to avoid playing a good player. The ones after the first pitch have a better chance of actually being for a good reason.
Good reason or not, they never get accepted. I’ve literally never had a friendly quit accepted after the first pitch. So there’s no point in having them after first pitch. If you only allow them before first pitch it will at least stop people from tricking other people into accidentally accepting a friendly quit.
I have had them accepted after the first pitch. I literally just did two days ago. Was a couple innings in and then my girl needed my help to do something so I offered and they accepted. If they would have not I would have just quit but luckily they accepted. If the reason to get rid of them is just to stop the tricking stuff then they should just do something to make it harder to trick someone, not just take it away altogether.

- I've never dashboarded.
- If something comes up, I just go to menu, quit, close the app, turn off the PS and get after it. I manage my playing time as just that though. If I have to quit a game, it's very rare. I sure as hell though, don't ask for a FQ before leaving.

I think you're asking a bit much.
People who ask for the FQ are simply hoping for mercy, To punish them would be way over the top
-
I only ask for a friendly quit if me and my opponent have the same pitcher on the mound or if a game goes to extra innings and I have something to do. Getting rid of the friendly quit would punish the people who actually have a legit reason for it.

I have never understood the logic behind the same pitcher friendly quit. Is it just because you're both using the same card? If so, why stop there? Wait, you ALSO have Trout in the outfield? Well that completely breaks the immersion. Let me try to quit so I can play someone else.
If you both go to Billy Wagner as the first lefty out of the pen, shouldn't that also warrant a friendly quit? You both have the same pitcher on the mound, but for some reason that only seems to bother people in the first inning.
Just to be clear since it isn't always obvious over text, I'm not trying to attack you or anything. People can send out the FQ if they want (I'll probably deny it), but I just don't get why that should matter in a card collecting mode where there is usually considerable overlap in players used.
