Because, according to the poll, they are 24% of the community. The player base is already low, reducing it by 24%+ will bring it close to death. However, that means they believe they can encourage these people to change. Like psycho-therapy via the game and forum. Not only are they unlikely to change, they are also unlikely to invest any good amount of cash into the game. So, they are keeping them because they think they will change and that they will also start spending money.
What they really want to do is encourage those who don’t desert and even enjoy the challenge of a losing battle (increasing battle time is a win. i.e. not losing as quickly as the team would lose without you in it). Next, encourage new players. The speed of this game is a little too fast, but not as fast as battlefield. The speed of this game caters for the 24% deserters who are always shouting ‘build rally’ ‘build rally’…then desert because the rally(s) are making no difference. They dont want to move 60 metres before encountering action. They want action upon spawning. And they want to move fast. ALWAYS. So, it is not the Battlefield community we are trying to attract. It is a more thoughtful FPS player we are looking to attract. Day-Z? Arma-forger? Players like that. One day Gaijin will have to remove these problem players or it will be US who leave the game for something else. They could start by removing them from the forum. Desertion is a problem for the majority so they shouldn’t allow them on the forum. It is punished for good reason and they should be punished here too.
nope, that is not what that poll represents. it just shows that minority of people that plays the game(aka forum dwellers) want better rewards for people who stay in match when other people desert, not that they dont desert. 20% is average desertion rate across all matches, but if you check individual players who never deserted, then that number is probably 10% or lower.
how about MM that will respect our time and not giving us maps that we dont want to play. if something is marked as disliked and i desert it over 99% of times, why is game still giving me that map?
one of the biggest whales in the game has deserted loads of hopeless games cause wins gave him more xp. i guess your theory doesnt hold water.
I like every map. I don’t mind being at a disadvantage. Playing isnt winning. It is competing with a win OR lose outcome. So i just take the losses and the imbalance as it comes. I have been playing for one year, and ‘join any army’, and the matchmaking works 33% of the time. 33% of the time you are at a disadvantage. 33% of the time an advantage (you ok with that? 100 kills doing it for you?), and 33% of the time a decent fair battle. Matchmaking doesn’t always work. One player can make the difference, and based on ratings i would be in the bottom half of whichever team i am in. However, if i try then i am NEVER in the bottom 50%, and 100 kills is not that difficult, is it? So, you would complain anyway, saying that there are three century scores in the enemy team and only 2 in your own team, cos dexy decided to spam assault squads, and maybe a tank or plane, hmmm. You would say "your MM is rubbish Gaijin’, but it isnt. It woud be based on ratings/stats and stats are worse than damn lies pal.
Done the research. Good stuff. I’m 0% desertion rate because there is no requirement to desert. You are deserting other players, not the battle. That is why there is in-game punishment and in real life you would be executed by the Axis and Imprisoned by the allies. Well done you. Hero.
i dont care about win or loss. i dont want to play any conquest map(except manor) cause those maps are boring. loads of time it is just walking simulator where i am trying to find enemy to kill.
only other time where i desert is when it is roflstomp and that usually means there is squad of 3-4 veteran players on discord just destroying everything.

check data yourself. diamond players arent representative of normal players cause they are usually clan players that play game with 3 other teammates and they still have deserted games.
No, It is a majority, not a minority. And, the deserters are the forum dwellers, not those who want deserters punished. You desert. We dont. You bad. We good. Simples. Goodbye.
You are only reviewing a good player based on kill count. That’s it. Bet they are the most cowardly in real life. Shaking on the front line looking for a hiding place. But here they charge the grey zone. Not lol. They are like you, but get more kills because they have honed their ‘skills’ on battlefield and now flourish in the slightly slower game of Enlisted. Like playing on a pool table after playing on a snooker table. How does he perform when his team is being overrun? He doesn’t. He deserts and blames everyone else. Doesnt work like that, pal. The mindset of the deserter is the problem in real life war AND in war gaming. Keep nerfing blast damage and criticising snipers.
0% did you say? I watch youtube too pal. These ‘whales’ are full speed ahead. I play with the ampulomet and spawn engineer teams 22% of the time…this does not get me kills. It does however make me a better team player.
