Nothing is more frustrating than facing an obnoxious kid who feels the need to compensate his low self esteem with a false rating on ESO by pulling the plug on you and getting a free win. There is something you can do about it though, so read through these tips to ensure that you can avoid getting cheated out of points:

• Dropping is all about timing, beat the dropper...you win
• Remember the 5 second rule. You have 5 seconds after he re-enables his connection to beat him out
• When the "player not responding" screen comes up, you have 3 choices: "wait", "drop player", and "save". Never ever press save. Saving gives him 30 seconds to run away with your points
• As soon as you see the player not responding screen, coninuosly click on "wait" non-stop, like 3 times a second.
• As soon as his name is gone from screen, you have about 5 seconds to hit drop player, after that, even if you wait for an hour, you lost your points

Summary: This isnt complicated at all and you will never lose points from a dropper if you do it. Simply hit "wait" "wait" wait" non stop until his name is gone, then immediatly hit drop player.

I hope this helps guys and gets the droppers off the rankings on eso.
