I have resigned the last 5 games I have played on ESO because of this GROWING problem. It wastes my time, and I get treated to another round of childish and vulgar insults as the scam becomes revealed.
I am soooo sick of people listing a "no rush" game and then rushing at 5 minutes because they know you're strategising for a no rush game. It's a juvenile tactic that makes them feel better because they can get you to resign in disgust and then improve their win/loss ratio.
If you want to have a free rush game, fine. If you want to have a no rush game, fine. Whether or not either is better is not the issue so dont respond with the usual moronic posts about how "no rush is for losers" or whatever.
There have been controls in multiplayer games for 5 years now that prevent people from rushing in a no rush game. What happened to the developers of AOE 3 that they missed this?
Until the time limit set by game host expires, you have no ability to attack. The programming is DEAD SIMPLE.
This is a GLARING fault in an otherwise wonderful game.
