I would say give people 3 free early exits with no penalty. This means anytime before the "return to merc quarters" option. There are some legit reasons to leave a match and, sorry, if 8 people leave my match the first minute and 4 more leave within the next two, I'm not sticking stound to get farmed. I have also had matches where the squad deploys and one person doesn't get pulled. There are the occasional disconnects and serious Lag issues as well.

After the first 3 early exits, every early exit after that is a fine of 100,000 ISK. This will be divided up among the remaining teammates equally at the end of the match regardless of ranking provided they have either 150 WP or a total of 3 kills + deaths. This means people can't stick around and AFK for the free money. They have to participate. That way, the more people who quit, the more it incentivizes those who haven't left to stick around. If everyone but me leaves, I will gladly get my ass stomped into the ground for a 1.5 million ISK payday.

Yeah... i was a bit ragy when I wrote this since I had gone a couple of games with the same ****. I ate a snickers and am a lot better but there has to be some sort of compromise between the players. A bit of half and half because I know a lot of people simply look at an enemy team and leave.

Or maybe not penalties tbh. There could be incentives instead like a multiplier for the payout for fighting in handicapped matches...

It doesnt have to be all stick. I wouldn't mind the carrot if you understand the reference. You know some cream for after you get fcked so hard you can't walk straight for the next two matches

You know some cream for after you get fcked so hard you can't walk straight for the next two matches . I like the incentive idea as well. If you finish with 13-16 players on your side, no bonus. 10-13 players payments bumped by 50% 6-9 players, payment bumped by 75%, 3-5 players, payments bumped 100%. 1-2 players, pay bumped by 150%. The only problem is this does nothing to keep people from leaving. Without the penalty, the same people will still quit 30 seconds into the match and the same people will stick around to be stomped because od the higher payouts. That is why I figured my penalty. They can even "lore it". You pay 100k to secure your contract. If you fulfill your terms, you get your hold back plus payout. If you don't hold your end of the bargain, you forfeit your holding fee.
