I'm not really the rage quit type, but my brother on the other hand.
I've watched him karate chop a solid wood tv tray in half. Also there was that day I came home to a brand new Playstation I. He said he accidently stepped on mine and bought me a new one, LOL yeah okay.
Yes, when I was on a Plane of Hate raid and it was declared prior to beginning that if a Chestplate of the Constant dropped I would be the cleric guaranteed to recieve it, which at the time was the primo cleric BP, as well as my biggest loot desire in EQ. I have horrible luck so I really was happy I was gauranteed the drop but didnt believe it would drop. I died just as the npc dropped and was then awaiting a rez when the raid leader announced it dropped. And some chick cleric from another guild ninja looted the no drop item and thrn started apologizing saying she didnt know... SOOOOOOO pissed.. girlfriend had been haggin alot about my playing EQ too much as well so I decided then and there I was done.. deleted my toon and all..
I have been mad at games during especially frustrating moments, but never to the point of throwing something at the wall or anything like that.
As for quitting, I did quit an MMO after several years invested in it because it stopped feeling like "my" game. I had been vocally complaining about a number of issues with the game, and at some point after feeling those issues were not really appreciated by the developers I basically lost interest in logging in any more. I had a few months left on my sub but never went back online.
yes i broke many controllers throwing them against the walls of my room when chain dieing at darksouls games :D when i was younger ! but now i'm not that stupid anymore well i hope :p
i never rage quited while playing a mmorpg, even with multiple deaths within a short period of time, i keep going at it untill i win or if for any reason i cant do it, i just go do something else.
basically i hate unfair deaths, i mean if deaths come from my skills not high enough, i'm ok with that, but if it's coming from bad game design, bad camera control (just like in most darksouls games) then, one death ok, 2 deaths...ok, XXX deaths.... controllers go hug my walls.
Rage quit might be a bit hard but i lost interest in some games pretty fast as they changed business model from sub to ftp. After this there spwaned many ingame shops, items etc. to buy stuff for cash = gameover. The community changed pretty fast because many ppl did join the game and leave pretty fast too. I got the feeling to like at a train station, no real community anymore.
Another thing was the NGE at Star Wars Galaxies for example. It was a completly new game, lots of work i had done ingame was just blown away for good. If a company just make things trivial you had to work yourself for month. This killed my motivation.

I have "rage quit" a few times, once for a whole day. But do not look at it as quitting. I look at it as I was having an off day and a small break is needed to get my timing back.
However I did "rage quit" while playing Shadowbane quite a while ago. When i hit level 20 and pvp was active I died 8 times in the first 2 hours to gankers who trolled the lower level pvp zone just greifing lower levels. I deleted the game from my computer and never tried t again.
Therefore it shows in my utter hatred for pvp. There fore I have no desire to have pvp in my games unless it is fully controlable like a button to shut it off permanently.
Aye lol, once in a while something either I do, another player does, or a choice I made will set me off. I'm my own worst critic so when I do something insanely dumb or make a choice I can't go back and correct, my fuse is immediately lit at the source. 90% of the time the amount of patience I have is commended by others who witness it. That 10% though... It'll get me, right in the nerve. Needless to say I appreciate the abiluty to respec, overwrite enchantments, or make certain outcome changes due to quest decisions if the outcome is not obvious or in parenthesis.

I personally rage quit for one reason only, when my hand goes numb, (carpel Tunnel in both hands now) and if i am getting foggy mind with the graphics, cam view etc.. fed up more or less.
oh yes... Thank god it was when I was younger and I no longer suffer from poor choices like that.
Controllers through walls.
Fist through everything but support beams apparently.
Tossed keyboards, smashed mice.
To the point of selling every single item i had on every single character I had, deleting all characters after that and then canceling my account.
Only to come back 6 months later, and make up some BS story about how my crazy EX did it , not me " can you please restore all my stuffs puhleeeze"
Actions change, when it's you buying all the stuff you just broke...

When I rage quit, which I do some times, is more due to frustrations with myself than the game.
Not necessarily a rage quit but I did leave Rift after the update where they added a scoreboard. It included such innocuous things as crafting and artifact collecting(or shinies as they were called). No place in an RPG for that.
I have never rage quit, but I certainly have raged out playing games. Mobas are a rage inducng nightmare. My biggest rages came from EQ over a decade ago. Farming my last VT key off a ghost in a swamp ruins for 6 hours, no sooner did it spawn I feel a sense of relief only for some monk to train 30 mobs on me and fd and take the kill as I ran my ass off into seb for safety. Or the dreaded Stormfeather camp that I spent 37 straight hours camping only to have the mob ksed by some group that pops in for 20 minutes to loot and scoot. So in those events, the games never made me mad but certainly the players can cause rage.
