I used to play more console games, but it just got too bloody expensive to keep up with the consoles, and the games are not cheap, either! And then a newer one is out before you can blink! The newest console I have is the Xbox 360, lol. I don't want to find out how much I have payed to Blizzard for WoW over the years, but $15 a month is easier to swallow. If you consider that it's the only thing I spend on entertainment though,( I don't have TV, I don't go out, lol,) it's a pretty small bill compared to many other people.
As far as not being allowed to leave games, the thing is that this game is a set amount of players VS a set amount of players. Think sort of like Warcraft III / Starcraft back before they turned the lines into MMOs. Everyone starts off as lvl 1 with no items, and as the game progresses you gain exp and gold, and purchase items. So if a teammate leaves, your team is kind of screwed. Not only would it be undesirable for a new person to jump into the middle of the game, but a lvl 1 with no gear at that point would be useless anyway. So, that's why I said I understand where they're coming from, but it just isn't feasible for me. Games are usually around 30 minutes long, but they can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and a half. I can't guarantee that I will have that kind of time uninterrupted. That said, though, I think it pretty much sometimes happens to most people, so unless you're a complete jerk, people won't normally report you for going AFK for a portion of the game, especially if you can come back in with an apology and an explanation. I have been playing a few weeks and have not been reported yet. It is pretty fun.
