This is GTA Online not Forza people are going to try to check you into the wall. These people are easily enough dealt with. And you can't honestly be surprised by this when you know quitting gives you negative Karma.
Dude. I've driven over 300 races, I've won over 200 of 'em. I've quit 20 races tops. I'm not a frequent ragequitter. Less than 10% in over 300 races? Have you seen the kinds of players that are in these rooms sometimes? From verbal abuse to ganging up on *the high level player*, there are plenty of good reasons to leave a game. It's probably only 5 races I've quit because I've done poorly over the 150+ hours I've played.
From what I see in the Dunce pool, it's mainly high level players in there, who just accumulated enough Bad Sport cred over time to get thrown in there. Eventually, everybody will land in there, if you play enough. Or else you are a flippin' Saint, who takes any abuse with coolness.
Hell - I've been in a room once with a married Australian couple, she was a clumsy loud annoying bitch, and his only goal was it to run interference for her. After racking up 5-6 wins against these skillless idiots, he finally got me bad enough - so I flippin' threw the race and was out of there. More often than not, I leave because of Bad Sports in the race, rather than being a Bad Sport myself.
That said, I just assumed due to my overwhelming amount of Good Sport cred, that it wouldn't matter if I quit every now and then. Hell - I've even gotten Good Sport payouts after quitting at times. What was I supposed to think? Anyways - it's easy enough to avoid the Dunce pool. It's a shitty place to be. I definitely did not deserve to be stuck there for 48 real world hours.
The whole personal car thing is misguided design if I ever saw it. I guess it's to prevent players to destroy each other's rides with miniguns and RPGs in the endgame or something. Nonetheless, it's dumb. Nothing quite like giving a pursuer the slip, then mine a road with a sticky bomb, and blow the bastard up grinning into my rearview mirror as he catches up.
