Leaving immediately after dying

[Lunacy]

Why do people do this, it's going fine and we would have finished the rest of the game if they didn't leave. Sometimes it's just one but when 3-4 leave all at once because they got rekt by a fleshpound or scrake then its just gg.
I mean their stuff is still on the floor and the round finished successfully, why even leave at that point?

Admitted, sometimes I just feel like 'meh, im not doing good today' and simply decide to stop playing

[V0lcanF1re]

Situation awareness, depends lol

[Jam]

Have you considered the possibility that they don't want to play any more?

1. Rage quit
2. They have other business to attend to
3. Friends invited them to another game

[Spidey]

As stated, rage quit. Sometimes feel ashamed, pissed off at themselves etc.
It happens. I think we have all done it.

Or sometimes they're fed up with the team play and probably got killed by one of those noob firebugs that rages every damn thing in sight.

I've seen more people leave a game due to a firebug causing the team mates death.

Could be they need the toilet, may need to dance on the ceiling like lionel richie ?
who knows could be a lot of things. But number 1 would be a rage quit.

If 3 guys die there is no reason to play becose next round wil be too hard
+ you get your drop ,no reason to play anymore.

Losing a $1,500 weapon is a financial hit.
Maybe they jumped difficulty levels.
Maybe they were too tired to continue playing the game.
One time, my mom came over to my apartment, earlier than expected so I had to drop all my weapons and cash, even though the game was going well.

Maybe they needed to dance on the ceiling:

Maybe they are weaklings? Dunno

Simple answer: The team is terrible and not worth playing with anymore.

I do that. I would apologize if I was planning on stopping.

The reason I usually do it is the loss of money and weapons. If I have my tier 4, or multiple tier 3s or 2s, and then I die while carrying them then I'm probably going to leave unless I had a lot of cash on me. People usually can't or don't pick up my dropped weapon, and if I had multiple weapons then most of them are gone. After waiting around for the round to end, I then come back, rush to the trader, and no one gives me any money to get back up to speed. Sometimes they can't because we're on wave 5 or 6, so most people only just recently bought their best weapons and hence don't have any extra cash to spare. Then I end up having to fight a late wave with a tier 2 or 3 weapon, at best. Half the time I try to tough it out we get wiped on the very next wave.

I don't do this every time. Sometimes I'm on a team that I know is good, or I'm on an easy-mode class, or we're near the end of the game. Other times, we have multiple Survivalists, one of them is using a flamethrower, our Medic only heals Berserker, and our Demo thinks his M79 can take out scrakes, so I just leave as soon as my body hits the floor.

Yeah, M79 against Scrakes. I've seen it multiple times myself. Such a demo won't even know
that a dynamite can stun zeds and fire RPG first against FPs.

I think more often than not when people die they stay in the game, we just notice it more when they leave

[Leenker]

Some people pick medic and suddenly they quit in later waves.

Sometimes I have to poop...
