I was never booted for my first two years and took pride in it. Then my wifi went off while playing RT, got a few boots that way and cared less about the stat.
I have been booted off and on in ones that don't respect vacations, or are 1-2 day boots (which I don't get on over the weekends).
Anyway, I still think my %1 is good.
Anything over %10 is irresponsible. I think anything over %5 is high actually.
Well done Thanatos on your 0 boots but the thing is if I played 23% real time my boot will also be down. I have been booted twice in multiday. The remainder of my bootrate comes from assholes who boot me after I say that I am there.
I have been booted 2 times. Once was real-time, and I don't remember the other.
Sometimes I play with unreliable internet, though, so I'll probably end up booting again. I have avoided tournaments when I didn't know for sure that they'd be over before I had to take a break from Warlight for RL reasons.
I understand that there are various reasons you might have to boot, and usually am not upset about it. If your boot rate is over 10%, I won't want you as a teammate (and probably would question it for a tournament or ladder team if you're over 5%).
Of course, the rate isn't everything - it's different if you had a 25% boot rate for the first 1000 games you played, and haven't booted in the last 100+ games, or something like that.
Haha, y'all have some nice boot rates. Well some of you. Mine's at 15 boots, (1%) but half of those were some B.S. boots in games that didn't honor vacations. Those games annoy me and I don't join them anymore.
