Rage quitting?

[zyrath]

I mostly play 3-person mahjong, but these few days I played quite a bit of 4-person mahjong starting from bronze. I keep getting people rage quitting every other game after getting direct hit by a mangan/haneman (not by me, I'm just chilling), even when it's still East 2. Is this a normal occurence or something? Never encountered this in 3-person mahjong.

Surprisingly often from my own experience, which is why i endorse sleeping 8 hours a day in order to have a calmer head when it comes to facing severe losses, and potentially come back straight to 1st

3 Player Mahjong is slap or be slapped, the games are so quick its really dumb to quit. Very good for doing dailies but honestly prefer 4 player much more...

Maybe in Bronze, I dunno, but you won't see it in upper ranks, because people who ragequit will not get that far.

In the early days of Tenhou.net, their rating system worked more similarly to real tournament play, but ragequitting became too common. So they changed the point spread to heavily punish 4th while letting 3rd off with a slap on the wrist, hoping players would stay and fight for 3rd.

Then MajSoul came along and just copied everything Tenhou was doing. And now Last Place Avoidance™ is its own meta.

Ragequitting is a good way to lose a lot of rank, which means you'll almost never see it in Gold or Jade.

Because the game is a scam, it always chooses one player, and then grants them everything. People see through this ♥♥♥♥, and are fed up with it.

Still happens in Silver, since getting there is inevitable due to no demotion from Adept or penalties until you reach it.

Only seen it twice in Gold, with one time happening after somebody got hit by 5200 Ron and ending with less than 10k difference from 3rd and still half a game ahead in 4 player south; so stupid it might have been just a coincidental disconnect.

people in adept love ragequitting after every minor inconvenience like san/baiman or headbutts. It's actually kinda funny when that happens

Looks like someone didn't get enough sleep, 8 hours of sleep is highly recommended before a game of mahjong.
