Accused of "Combat Logging"?

[BrianPanda 2]

I have recently been accused of "combat logging". I, however, do not see it that way. I looked into the guys posts and, I'm not mentioning names, but he seems to be on everyone and their mothers asses about combat logging, so I cant exactly take his 'expert opinion' all that seriously.

Bare with me,

I was in a truck that exploded, I was driving and we hit a tree with a red engine. I hardly survived, I healed myself before getting knocked out then later disconnected. I come back in to have my friend give me a blood transfusion, and I live to tell the tail.

Now, I simply do not see where the combat logging took place. There were ZERO SHOTS FIRED and I bandaged myself BEFORE I disconnected, which meant, I had to lay in the same spot till my guy woke from his slumber to do so. That took roughly 3 minutes, if anyone was trying to kill me, they were REALLY bad at the game, because none of their shots came close enough for me to hear them.

I posted this topic, because I want ALL of you people who are soooo against disconnecting to know, NOT EVERY SINGLE SCENARIO IS "combat logging". Get a grip, take a second glance at the information, and you should (should) see the difference, now, If i had been shot at and disconnected, I would be the asshole, but, I did not.

I am the type who likes to put all of their cards on the table so here is what I did NOT include in the original post.

NOT INCLUDED IN ORIGINAL THREAD:

I did disconnect at one point, only because I though it fair that the bandits, that LATER (an hour after) shot at me, could have what ever we had in the truck, in exchange for our lives. Lets just say they didn't go back to camp with frowns on their faces.

Wait, that last part, you disconnected to avoid the bandits?

Seems fair to me, if no-one was shooting then not combat-logging...

Granted they might have seen/heard the explosion and went running to find it, saw you DC as they arrived?

But In my opinion...no...you are good :)

Isn't "alas" supposed to be used in a different way?

I admit to disconnecting at that point, but I have done it only that one time. Never before or after that, but the last part was beside that point. Seems redundant, I know, but with the information given, there was no reason to call me a "combat logger"

Not going to lie, I got really startled by the sound of that gunfire, just kinda did it.

I would see this clearly as a DC to avoid death situation / combat logging. You were about to be shot or were probably already shot at as you said you heared gunfire. There were plenty of them on the server we played yesterday...Alt-F4 or DCed after hearing gunfire and getting hit. There was even one who shot at us, recieved return fire and went to the lobby then connected again...then he was dead and Alt-F4ed.

Re-read the post, I was shot LATER not at the time.
