Absolutely! If it gets to 1 minute before you are due to start you shouldnt be allowed to leave.

Agreed. This has happened too many times to count. Thankfully I don't use buffs all that often but a lot of people spend a fortune on buffs etc. just for some silly child to find it funny to drop out at last minute.

This is happening too often. If someone joins a queue then agree they should be locked in at 1 min to go. Too many fights especially ToH are dropped because of 1 dropping out at the last minute. It has happened to me 2 times in the last 4 days in ToH particularly. Players spend a lot of G on mount, and potentially covers balms etc and then just 1 person drops out and it is pretty much wasted.
Coding this would not be hard. I test software for a living, so if it is not implemented then there has to be a different reason behind it. Put a warning for example that when a player signs up for a battle then they will be locked in etc at a certain point, but this will stop players wasting money. If a toh doesn't start then the players will still spend their money, but they don't need to feel cheated.

no , some people actually have more important things to do than sit in front of this screen. like when someone u know has a heart attack? do u really need them to play this game and not be by a loved one's side? Yes, then there are the selfish jackasses that exit for no reason. but u must think about these things. think about it

i agree do something please :)

& the chance of that happening is pretty slim, I'd rather have a tourney run with an afk person because they had to run off to some emergency that just so happened to occur in those 60 seconds than repeatedly have people leaving at 1 second to go.

i asked for this a few days back, and i really do think something needs implementing, as mentioned, people wait until within last minute to buff/mount up to ensure they arent wasted, but if someone leaves (yes by accident, whatever reason) that is then wasted. Ellie's point is a good one, would rather have toh with an afk'r than no toh at all. Would you not agree?

tbh I agree completely with the lock idea, as i'm pretty sure people on purposely leaving ToH as late as possible in a bid to have their opponents waste money on buffs etc

i have to say, one thing, as a father watching my son while playing the game, sometimes, a few seconds cant be spared... i think if a person exits que at less then a minute, they should have to pay some silver or something... it gives a reason not to quit que, but still allows the ability if you really need to

The majority of the time people are probably not leaving for emergencies or running off to go watch their child. Everyone who joins ToH knows it runs for 30min- sometimes over an hour...So this is well know and also says in the description of ToH that its up to 8 battles continuously. There should be a locking system where If you are in que at one minute it locks- warning can be at the 2 minute mark where it tells you that you have 1 minute to confirm you're to be locked in que.

There is nothing wrong with this in my opinion. Gold is hard to come by in this game and a much needed commodity... dont make us keep wasting it because people are leaving in the last minutes. Some people even are using reals for their buffs... if this keeps happening some of them may refuse to keep doing ToH and you can potentially lose a good amount of money and income to the game itself.

perhaps at 5 minute before ToH a warning coming up saying would you like to lock your place? once locked can't withdraw, that way people have had a fair warning and should plan there time out to do ToH, if an emergency happens i doubt dieing on the game would be the individuals first thought anyway

but if ppl are in a battle, that defeats this whole thing. they will still get kicked out of arena. However, like in Seabattles, it Auto kicks you out of a fight to take you to the ship. but that could be bad too. like if you are fighting garuug or a quest elite or something

i agree with skull this is a big problem it is hard enough trying to get gold">">

Everything except temple buffs can be set to "auto". Set mount to "auto" but do not summon. If ToH goes then you get mount, otherwise nothing wasted. Don't forget to unselected "auto" so you don't waste a mount on first mob fight after ToH, of course.

Oh, and spheres of immunity also do not have "auto" option, but you don't get cursed in ToH so this is rather moot.

I'd like to see battles locked with 1 min to go for ToH and Sea Battles both. As Trongster said, you can auto mount & buff, but you can't auto-buy covers. People buy covers for both of these battlegrounds, so it would be nice to know that nobody will be dropping last-second and potentially making you waste money on covers.

I am completely behind this; after working hard for gold and having last minute drop-outs after using valuable buffs and mount I think this could be a big help to players - I think something similar should be implemented for sea battles

+1000 and +1001 more..

well lock toh , seabattle 5 minutes away from start

lock aoh, 7b 2 minutes away.

lets stop the que manipulation admin..please..
