AFK Players Are One Thing
But when players start excusing the AFK's for leaving or quitting that's just adding insult to injury. If a player has to leave for an emergency or if they lose power, that's reasonable, but they are still subject to the same rules as everyone else. And who knows if they are being honest as to why they left? No one. The only thing we have to go on is that a player left the game. Maybe it was beyond their control or maybe it was within their control. Regardless of the reason, they left the game and it always results in the same outcome. An unfair disadvantage for the 4 or fewer players who must oppose greater numbers.
