Proposal: Introduce a penalty system into the game for players that quit matches excessively during a certain time frame. Ex: If a player quits three times within 24 hours they are banned for three days. Quitting without penalty between matches is allowed.
Reason: Players quitting due to any reason during a match not only negatively impacts flow of the game but also the balance for 3 out of 4 game modes: Siege, Team Death Match and Missile Assault. It is disrespectful to those who have taken the time to sit down and enjoy a game of Hawken only to have their 5 on 5 match turn into a 1 on 5 or 5 on 1.
It slows down accumulation of HC and experience on both sides and is generally just poor sportsmanship and shows a lack of dedication and respect to your fellow Hawken players. It is a competitive game. Matches won't always go the way you want. Deal with it or play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
Now before you say "Well what about real life?" that is the reason the proposed system would allow for a certain number of "strikes" per day and would allow you to quit without penalty between matches. Also, a typical match of Hawken lasts 15-30 minutes. If you aren't sure you can get that sort of time to play, don't. I also don't know what you could possibly be doing that would interrupt you 3 times COINCIDENTALLY EVERY TIME you sat down to play Hawken for 45-90 minutes in a day outside of poor planning/time management/someone in your house being a troll. And if it's your internet, get it fixed.
Keep in mind, the proposed "Three Strikes" and the length/severity of penalty are just suggestions.
