PVP fights where the entire opposition leaves

There really needs to be something done about the fights where either the entire opposition leaves mid battle or when the opposite team sits in stealth the entire fight without attacking or decloaking. Put a timer on the fight, or just end when theres no one left on one of the sides, something. Otherwise you have the folks remaining just twiddling their thumbs until they get bored and leave with nothing to show for their wasted time. Otherwise trying to finish the pvp daily ends up taking almost all day :(

    we had to deal with this CONSTANTLY in pvp before they made FvF.
    leveling up beating crappy fed PUGS makes some think they are good when they are mediocre at best.

    Are you sure they are cloaked? though i have to say I did w8 once cloaked for a few mins till more ppl joined the game...sod going up against 5 v1
    But yes they should add a timer to the map if no fighting happens not if the sides are balanced, saying that how would you work it because the losing side could just stop playing till the timer finished......

    Oh btw I did run into a sad FED grp yesterday who w8 12mins before I loaded in before they got any combat from the game.
    Wasn't fun seeing yourself get ganked just as you come into the map....their excuse was they were w8 so long ie the 12mins....they then had to w8 longer as I left thanks to being ganked

    Mostly only klingons left from pvp from my own experience. Most of the superior pvpers are really bad loosers. Oh dont even start on the ganking issue, klingons do exactly the same...5 Sci Bops arent uncommon encounter.

    i have seen plenty of feds leave a mtach, upto them its their dime, i have seen klingons leave too. I have fought solo vs 5, in pairs vs 5 and had 5 vs 1 it happens to everyone, if people leave i could care less, i have fun in pvp just the same. Personally i think you are making far more of this issue than it warents.

    As for players thinking they are better than they are, that is true of 99% of all players imo.

    Yep, I usually see feds leave when I spawn camp by myself. I usually tell my team to hunt down the other feds while I wait at the spawn in and I 1v1 the feds. I'm usually uncloaked.

    Another time I see feds leave a lot is after we slaughter the fed ball, they respawn and leave. There is taking out a fed ball and there is a slaughter where we dont lose any ships and take little to no damage. Usually one or two stay the rest leave. Now if they kill a ship or two all the feds usually stay.

    I like when people don't leave the map but leave the group when losing..

    Makes you wonder if they are thinking, "ya suck, I'm better and don't want to be grouped with you all."

    Like the other side can see that it's a different group.

    I agree that there needs to be a timer or something as well. I personally dont understand why people leave, so what if you are losing, you still get the credit for a match win or lose...I have on more than a few occasions came into a match where all of my side has left, and I always stay and fight til the end...theres no k/d to mess up if thats the problem for some, if you are a sore loser then dont join at all...you just ruin the fun that the people who dont care are having by leaving. I guess what iam trying to say is, BUCK UP, and die like a man/woman.
    Something i find funny is when we say, "those Klingons" or "those Feds", do this or that....alot of us play both sides so its just plain silly to think that way,imo, except for the RPers who like it that way.
    As for the "Ganking", its pvp.....has there ever been any mmo with pvp that has not had ganking....I dont even really consider it ganking personally, its nowhere near the same as some mmo's with open world pvp, where you can be out fighting mobs and be down to 20% health and have someone pop out of stealth or what have you and kill you, thats ganking....or having a group of people kill a single person that is not expecting pvp at the time, thats ganking..
    This is just my opinion though.....CHEERS!

    Heh, yeah. Seen that happen a couple of times recently. It makes absolutely no sense and actually benefits the opposition by making communication/coordination more difficult.

    How about when you desert you lose all your gear. That will keep those naughty puggers in the match for you, til they cancel subscription that is.

    I left my first battle field today. But to be fair, I left the broken Capture and hold where the score wasnt dropping, after I got my million damage.

    I have never left a 5 man personally. I've also never sat stealthed waiting for more friendlies.

    But this one time, in band camp, three guys left a match screaming, "this is bleep stupid" because I was winning by myself.

    Then if I almost recall Correctly, Ipigi and Foxy replaced their spots, and I just started randomly blowing up for no aparent reason. Then another Klingon came into the match, and watched me do well against the feds there, and started powering in and dying, and I lost the match. Then I pushed my I win buttons and All of DoB blew up wherever they were and said "Krof, definately Krof"

    JK, i love you guys. Im tired and somehow this was all funnier in my head.

    I wish some klings would just accept that they can lose, and not moan when we do and blame it on others...
    Last night one or two people started to moan when we lost one game and even had one kling leave the grp when in another game we started to lose.....turned it around though and won:D
