i'm sure most of us have had a few of these people that will rage quit from a STF just because things don't go the way they wanted it the first time around. my question is how many times do you run into STF rage quiters when you play?

It was in CSE. We were telling this guy in team chat not to blow up the right cube... but he did. So one person rage quitted. Ironically, we completed the game and would have gotten the optional, had he stayed. I should've PMed him about it.

I'm not sure what else I can do really. I have full sets of M.A.C.O. gear both ground and space

That's not an STF.
STF's are against the Borg.
first time I'd seen or even known about the timer you get for quitting an STF
Guess I couldn't blame them, kind of sucks to get 1 shot killed before getting close enough to take a shot.
Happened to me too, people all gave up on against the uni's...... And I sat there for a moment and thought about going up against them myself.... and then realized how foolish that was and left myself.
cause sometimes its party time!
yea its been that way for a long time.
just people dont pay attention.
STF - wait out 15mins and you can leave with out being penalized
other pve queue missions are different with shorter timers
the fleet queues are the same 15min timer before you can leave
with out a penalty.
if thats what your talking about.
Any kind of self policing like this will likely be abused.
With different play-styles/roles (like having healers) it would be impossible for the game to determine who is not participating and automatically punish AFKers because keyboards and mice can be programmed to fire-off weapons and/or heals.

QFT
This is what I did a couple of years back.
Pugging STFs is to much of a Crapshoot.
Colony invasion and Azure Nebula.
Azure Nebula has had a few leeches but for the most part it's fine.
Colony invasion... there's one player that I and the rest of the team have carried on NUMEROUS ocassions.
At this point when I see him I politely explain and apologize, then I leave. I will not carry that leeching scum any more.
TT? (Not the players name, just initials) Yeah, saw him yesterday. Reported him AGAIN (must be my 12th report on this guy from the same map) apologized to the team and left.
All these posts about afk's, rage quitters, leechers...is becoming quite old.
There is nothing you can do about it. It is not against the TOS.
So play the game how you want to play it, and quit worrying about other people.
Do you feel like a special internet god when you report this person? LOL
You do realize that reporting will do nothing. Time to stop worrying about other people and how they play the game. It is not your computer, not your internet so just stop complaining.
Best thing you can do is leave like you did.
Go ahead and do that. Work hard in STFs so others can sit back and reap the rewards... or what's left of them after optionals/the STF itself fails.

I will. I am going to play the game regardless. If that person wants to sit out and leech, let em. I do not care.
Anyways, maybe with an afk in the group the run will become more challenging, these stf's are far to easy anyways. I can handle 1 or 2 afk players in my group. My ship, my gear and my skills are quite high enough to compensate for the loss of a player.
It is not my business what that player is doing.
I was in a elite conduit awhile back and we had one guy go afk and another rage quit after we didn't get the optional. The 3 of us left still finished it though.
Oh and the rage quitter was one of those people who spams omfg noobs ect ect in chat all the while doing very little as he is too busy type raging to shoot at borg.
Doesn't really bother me though, I just laugh about it and carry on working with the people who are not derping out.
Usually everytime I try the ground mission for "into the hive" ... I think that's the one? The mission where you face the borg queen.
Also the space mission for that as well.
So when I do the STF missions, I usually stick to just the 3 regular space missions that have been around for a while, since most of the time people don't quit on that one.
YET when one does, it can still be accomplished.
So yes, I've experienced those missions where people quit and I'm left standin alone, yet not much you can do about it except get deppressed .
It's too bad people do that....
fist of all I am a rage quitter but i don't go at the first hitch. I have seen people mess up so badly STF's become near impossible to complete. I leave when i see signs of that. I realize you can't get the optional objective in every STF and I don't care but I do want to finish the STF in a reasonable amount of time.
Secondly though gearing up helps Knowing the required strategy is usually better.
not that i am saying you don't but knowing the strategy for the encounter you are in and improving yourself as a player is always superior to gearing up.
I am an archer by hobby. generally the best thing you do is train a lot if you want to improve. you can buy a better quality bow but as long as you are unskilled in handling it you wont see real improvement. there are really skilled barebow archers (medieval style; the most basic bow) that score better than some Compound archers (the Bow variant of a sniper rifle) so skill can beat gear.
First of all it's not even a crafting system! It's just a dumb game system that's nothing more than a glorified slots machine.
second the "special items" you hope will be the saving the saving grace are messed up to.
I was an archer once...
...but then I took an arrow to the knee :P
Ya had to know that was coming!

Amen. That is all.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
they do it because if you leave.. no cooldown. and they can rejoin and start over again.

Ever think that maybe those 'AFKers' are people who were disconnected due to server instability?
On occasion I'm sure that's the case. But when they Need on everything or don't do/say anything then warp out the instant the run completes it's confirmed that the person was a leech.
Just keep the reports up. Eventually Cryptic will get tired of seeing/deleting them and do something.
Removing the cooldowns entirely would remedy the situation almost immediately. They could even add in the diminishing returns that they did with the FOundry rewards.
RUn the STF as many times as you want/can but each run after the first is going to pay out less each time until you take a minimum of a 30 minute break from that particular STF/Event.
A friend of mine also takes a little bit of time to load into maps as he lives in a remote part of Australia and people have rage quit and spouted a load of abuse about him being a leecher before he's even loaded the map.
