What constitutes as a Rage Quit?

If someone leaves mad but says goodby... as they hit the power button on the PS3 does that constitute as a rage quit?

At what point is the rage-quit not a rage quit?

A true rage quit is only certifiable if your controler is sticking out of the dry wall in the room followed by the power button being turned off. I'm a pro, I buy controllers by the case.

Followed by drop kicking the family cat in extereme cases...

Hmm......No comment.

Oh, come on, no comment from the King of Rage Quiters? Really, what fun is that?

Where's Kyle Colby?Ill let him answer that for me. I don't rage quit, I let you know I'm getting the fuck out.Big difference.

Ah, so the diffrence is at the point if you say goodbye or not?

I am curious.

So if you say goodbye, throw the controller into the drywall, hit the power button, and then kick the cat it is not considered rage quitting?

I need to know so I can I take it to the limit of a rage quit but not actually commit the act.

Rage quitting is leaving without telling you leaving,pressing the power button, you proceed to throw your controller thru the bay window.

Rage quitting is just getting so mad at the game that you decide mid game you're not playing it anymore. Saying good bye is still a rage quit...it's just a polite one...thanks for minding your manners Cletus T

What? Now I am confused.

Is it, or is it not a rage quit if you say goodbye first?

it sounds like a matter of opinion on this...I say it is, fireman says it isn't...

I would say not sticking it out till the end of a game because you are mad would be a rage quit. Some are just more polite in their rage quitting than others.

I would venture to say that leaving before the end of the game because you are angry/disappointed/need both hands to punch things is a rage quit. Telling people you are leaving is still a rage quit. Leaving because you are mad is different than leaving because your wife added more to you honey do list.

or your "Honey, do me!" list.

RQ is a broad term. Use the following as a guide:

If I say, "F this shit, I'm out." It's a rage quit.

If I say, "Sorry guys, but I'm just feeding killstreaks with this lag, I'm out." It's a rage quit.

If I say, "Shit, Mrs. FBD is giving me the stink eye, I'm out." It's a rage quit.

If I say nothing and just disappear, it's a rage quit.

All 4 are different varieties, but were predicated by frustration at some level. There are those that will stick it out at all costs, and others who are more liberal in their application of the RQ. I personally have no problem with anyone leaving for any reason. Letting the group know that you're leaving is a nice courtesy though. I don't judge.

I would think that quitting because you're pissed with the game, your game play, or the fact you're getting your ass handed to you is a rage quit...even if done politely. Quitting because of family/friend priorities, or emergencies is another issue and I would hope/think totally acceptable.

I would never leave other >30< members behind in a game to face ranbumbs all by their lonesome just because I'm upset . Unless everyone in the group, as a group, decides to back out, or tells you to get out cause you're bringing down the team...I say stick it out and take the lumps.

reyj - kwit Verb, rage quit or rage quit·ted, rage quit·ting

1. To stop, cease, or discontinue a game due to aggravation from being constantly bested, pwned, or owned in any type of challenge within the game.

2. To scream wildly whilst mashing the controller before slamming it violently onto the floor, causing it to break after being bested, pwned, or owned in any type of challenge within the game.

3. To suck so horribly and blame the hardcore fail on everyone else through indeterminable screaming before quitting.

4. Being a ~30~ member and leaving mid-game due to "lag switchers"


Example:


ImGoodIfYouSuck killed DELTAxDOG

DELTAxDOG: FFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKK--- FUCK YOU GOODSUCK, I FUCKING HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU BESTED, PWNED, AND OWNED ME IN QUICK SCOPING!!!!

DELTAxDOG has left the game. (Disconnected by user)

It's all rage quitting period. I just inform everyone so they don't reinvite me afterwards.Since my rage quitting is due to connection 90% of the time, I don't want to rejoin a party that I'm gonna have shit connection with.Who does?It ain't the fact that I'm being spanked by better players, it's the fact p2p fucking sucks ass.I deal with it my way and everyone else can't bitch at me like they have in the past.They just don't do it to my face.

I am being summoned I see?

Well I call Joey's version "Inform Quitting" because usually he politely says "fuck this im out" followed by seeing him signed off PSN...

everyone has a different way of doing this.. Joaquin just exits the game, followed by seeing him on Netflix, I have coined his version "Netflix Quitting".. kind of un-creative I know...

personally, I have never exited a game for any reason, I may leave afterward in the lobby out of frustration for whatever reason, but I am too stubborn to actually leave the game and will keep getting my ass handed to me thinking I can overcome... which generally leads to a lot of yelling/whining/bitching on my part (for which I apologize to whoever has to listen to) but mainly its just a string of "what the hell is going on"s or "I cant do anything"s

either way, who cares, theres almost always another 30 online to pick up after the game anyway

What about knowing your host, backing out without saying anything, seeing the host migration, and then quickly rejoing the game on your team? Is that rage quiting?

@Malice: Didnt you just break another controller this past weekend?

@Good Suck: Why you gotta talk shit? You know I owend you in the last Quick Scope lobby

No it didn't break, guess I didn't throw it hard enough

I calm quit sometimes. You may hear the phrase "this is pointless" but normally I stealth quit the party and do not re-join after the match because of party lag and the fact that I just do not deserve to be in the party if I abandoned you in the first place.
I mostly rage quit though, and you will know when I do.

Another form of rage quit is the all party rage quit be it either mid match, or during a heated post match argument.

I am not for quiting midmatch except under the most absurd of circumstances, but thats me. Everybody has to know their own anger limits. I might would be better off from a anger management stand point if I did rage quit sometimes but I just can't bring myself to quit. I like to bang my head against brick walls to silence the voices in my head too so what does that say about me? That being said, @ Fireman I really appreciate ur usual version of Rage Quiting, ie "Fuck this I'm Out" cause it does not leave me wondering if the shitty game has dumped u midmatch leaving me as a party leader trying to pick u up for ten minutes after the round is over when I could be playing another round. Saves me time and energy that is better spent finding another 30 to party up with. So honestly keep it up brother. Plus it is usually some really funny shit.
