In the latest broadcast, SEGA made a statement that they're going to be implementing countermeasures against ditchers in Emergency Quests. Specifically, leaving a 12/12 game will lock you out of the EQ for the rest of its duration.
SEGA recently released a statement on their website clarifying this: http://pso2.jp/players/support/measures/?id=10697
4th March Update:In certain Emergency Quests, the following punishments will be applied if a player leaves when the game is full:
- You will not be able to re-take the Emergency Quest for the duration of that Emergency Quest's duration.
- You will be moved to a random block.
Please note that even in the case of line disconnection or client crash, the punishments will still be issued.
Please check your connection before attempting to play.
Except in certain conditions, server crashes will not limit a user's ability to play an Emergency Quest.
On the Arks Live! One More Nico Broadcast, SEGA made another statement on their measures against people quitting games:
6th March Update:Kimura said:
"If you don't like the fact that players in your game aren't putting in effort, put in the effort yourself to make a premade game."
However, the penalties have changed due to complaints.
Instead of issuing the punishment straight away, accounts who disconnect or leave 12/12 games in gated EQs (i.e. EQs with a teleporter) will have a strike issued against them. If enough strikes are accumulated over a period of time, that account will be banned.
Kimura also said that they don't have the technical capabilities to distinguish between a player disconnecting and a player leaving, but players disconnecting is at the fault of the player as there are no issues on SEGA's side.
The original link has been updated with the following.
These measures will come into effect from March 22nd:
You may be temporarily or permanently banned if the following conditions are met over a period of time:
- During targeted emergency quests that begin with 12 players, you are the first to leave. (Meaning, if you kick someone and then leave, you will still be striked)
There is no difference if you leave manually, by line disconnection or client crash. Please ensure your connection is stable before playing.
