"Let them win", "Loose fast", "We have no chance" and other variations of this.
Everyone who has ever done a WOW Battleground when the opposing team has a serious advantage in the game probably knows what I'm talking about.
Now what I'm still trying to figure out is what goes in the mind of people to order the others to stop playing the game, just so they can queue for the next one faster, and probably loose the next one, and probably tell more people to stop playing, while insulting them in the progress when they do something that could extend the game for a few more minutes like returning a flag or capturing a base.
For the record I have won dozens of games when people at some point were quitting and screaming "Let them win", so the game is never truly lost until it ends.
In any case, if you are one of those people, if you think the game is lost and just want to proceed sucking to the next one, you can stop playing, jump around on your own graveyard like so many of you do, handicapping your team even more (It's not like I can go to your home and make you press your keyboard and play), but next time you do that please ....
Keep it to yourselves !!!
Thanks.
Personally, I have to agree with this. In addition, actually pulling off a win against superior odds feels all the more gratifying.
I've found that in many of the cases where my team "gives up", trying to get a little bit of organisation going by giving some directions goes a long way. I feel that sometimes it's as if everyone is just waiting for someone to step up and take control of the teams movement and strategy. Of course, this is not always the case as you sometimes run into players who would rather be a liability to your teams effort than even try, however, a little motivation, encouragement and direction can do wonders for the end result if you're patient enough of a player to keep at it :)

While the frustration of having players give up without trying is understandable, you won't convince anyone to try harder if you spout profanity and insult them off the bat. In fact, doing so is a violation of the ToS and you can face being reported and having action taken against your account for doing so.
Please try to encourage a positive and helpful environment, rather than suggesting behaviour that is counter productive to your goals and will likely spiral even further downward in the long run.

Without trying, there can be no achieving. As I said, it won't always work, but I have experienced being able to turn things around more than once. Using the rhetoric of "this is a random, it's not going to work" is not going to solve your problem; in fact - it will only contribute to it.
