...There is an unresolved issue of big strong squads leaving battles. If this continues, we may have to figure out a way to "stop" that behaviour...
I wonder if you are able to pull the names of those people and send them a survey on why they are doing that.
Just curious how many would respond and what lie they would give for it

What I'm guessing here is that we're likely seeing people who are quivering at the first sign of resistance and then leave. If this was happening only on the tunnel map, I would understand. But this is happening on every map so it can't be because of bad map design.
It wasn't the map, or really even the opposition---I don't think. With just 5 players we weren't stomped. There was at least one full squad on the other side, but they weren't hardcore by any means. I'm still confused as to why anyone bailed. I think it would have been a fairly even match that we could have won. But hey, that's just a one-off. Anecdotal at best. Just sharing for what it's worth, if anything :)
The current theory is that the leaving squads were looking to stomp people, not that they were afraid of being stomped

Story time:
I was playing as a new character this morning, to try out the lower Mu bracket.
After a while, I start seeing familiar names on the killscreen, going maybe 20/5, which is basically an exit criteria on its own.
I got curious, and looked up the top ranking players on both sides for my matches.
They were ALL alts of veteran players, freshly created today!
Not only that, but I could see all of their second alts, were scheduled for removal.
So tomorrow, they will have a fresh alt, and schedule today's alt for removal.
I am competitive, but what drives players to do this, slaughter players that are in many cases patently helpless?
The Academy is for new players to get their bearings, relatively risk free. Learn the maps, drop an uplink, spawn on uplink, try out the starter fits, scan, and hack.
Whatever, just writing this makes me furious. Just thought I would share that some will go to incredible lengths to grief, or pad their self esteem.
Make the academy account based rather than character based? sure they could still just use another PSN account but constantly making alternate psns will get old for them after awhile. who has more than 3 emails?

Only one match so far, but it seems to be working. Having fun and not getting protstomped (but some people are in Protos, yet no major organized crushing of people) will have to play more to see if i was not lucky.

Had one match that took forever, but all my other matches were rather fun, perhaps you just have bad luck

Anyone who posts out here now to flame should put in their current lifetime SP. The only angry people I know for a fact have over 20 mil SP (I am in that bucket). If you are going to be salty vets, then you were contributing to the previous problem. Even in basic gear you stomped the blues and reds. Now you can effectively expect the blue berry to be stupid and yell at him because he failed on purpose. I think CCP expects this to drive the vets to PCs to manage their own fun. Or maybe we can queue sync some FW. We all know how to queue sync and (Heaven forbid) fight each other!!! Blasphemy!!!
26 million, 1.5 mill unallocated

Yet, I still came out with the most WP based on some knife kills for protofag campers on my sniping perch coupled with a few dropped uplinks. We still lost though.
Second match Scotty takes a dump as I'm climbing back up to my perch. Decided to wait it out until the wrinkles are ironed.
P.S.
Has the payout increased? I made almost 300k isk and almost 9k sp in my one match.
Well due to the matchmaking changes we are also fighting people in higher cost suits so that might be pushing up the isk at least
