Leaving the session, yes/no?

[Yappadappadu]

So yeah, yesterday I played against some french dude who whipped me (as Henin) pretty well with his custom character. The score said otherwise (he won the first set in a TB), but I was lucky to even a point in his serve games due to his powerful serves and baseline bombs. So it was A) boring and I B) knew that I would lose either way.

I pressed start and left the match after the first set and he sent me an angry message calling me a loser etc.

So I am asking:

Do you guys and girls seriously care about ppl giving up, yes or no?

I don't and never did. If someone does that, because I am clearly dominating him, then it's his choice. Doesn't change the fact that I would have won and I can spend the time playing against a better player instead.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's not really proper netiquette, I know, but are you folks seriously bothered by it?
Flame away.

disconnecting is a lack of respect because even if you were losing 0-3 0-2 and 0-40 and you disconnect, the match goes for you.
Otherwise if you decide to press start and lose the match, that´s ok. The match goes for the guy who was winning.

Uh oh, I messed up.

Of course I meant this:

Okay, that's what I wanted to hear.
I don't disconnect by turning off the console or something.

There's no reason to quit if the other person is playing fair...this is why certain people never become good players, because they always think "I have no chance against this guy". It's disrespectful and unnecessary. Not liking somebody's playing style or thinking they're "impossible to beat" is not a reason to quit...if you quit just because you're losing, your basically saying "if I don't win, then nobody plays". Suck it up

OK so far I am the only one that posted that I disconnect so I wanted to clarify things (for my own peace of mind):

1. I forfeit - not shut the console

2. I only do this (not always) with players who consistently risk-serve outwide - why - bcs its just no fun. The game becomes a "pi.." match.

3. other instances:
- I have done it a couple of times when the connection is really bad and my player is totally non-responsive or the game freezes

- also, occasionally when someone consistently (i.e. entire set) returns serves with risk into the net - note, I don't risk serve out wide and do change serve directions frequently.

personally i really don't care about risk shots, serving outwide,returning with risk shots ,slow serving or none of that, its gonna happen regardless and the person thats doing it to you 9 times out of 10 does'nt care if you like it or not, after you quit the match, they're not thinking about you, just on to the next match so why get stressed and worry about it? Nadal and Venus were using out wide and into the body serves and they both won Wimbledon, you didn't here of there opponents going to the umpire and telling them to ask them to quit serving like that, right? If you lose, you lose....you won't always be on the losing side.

...and they can both serve 120+mph into the corner wide on every serve and hit risk shots with no stamina...

.. not worried, but games like that get boring quickly.....

outwide is not outgoing: we all serve outgoing balls, but none of us, i hope, serve from the corner of the field. that's the annoying stuff

Serving form the corner is one the lamest "tactics" in the game

oh i most definitley dont go the corner and serve outwide, the outwide serve from the regular stance is effective enough for me

[Squilari]

serve an outwide service from the corner should be forbidden, not because it´s unreturnable (in fact it isn´t) , the point is that nobody in the real tennis uses it during 98% of the match, so it´s basically unrealistic.

o my thats right peepz

[syystemofaden]

i've never quit, regardless of whether i was playing a top 5 or a 30 ranked newbie. i think it's about respect. if they want to quit (legitimately) that's fine with me. i hate this cheating that people do though where i'm winning and i get the loss, but recently it seems that people are a lot better about that.

[jayl0ve]

I see only a few reasons to ever quit...1) The other guy is actually cheating(I don't know if it's even possible to 'cheat' in TS3, it doesn't seem like there's any bug like the VT3 'let 1st service' bug), 2) A real life commitment comes up suddenly, 3)It is insanely laggy and you haven't played more than 1 or 2 games (if you're going to quit 'because of the lag', then quit RIGHT AWAY, not after you go down 0-5).

it never been happened by me that i loose after my opponent leave the match.
