If Scotty must serve low-quality matches, adjusting pay scales would be the very best way to keep players playing.
As a given lobby's Mu disparity increases, the underdog SP / Isk multiplier increases. The steeper the odds are against you, the more you get paid at the end of the match. Once it is worthwhile to do so, more players will stick it out and fight through the low-quality matches.

That sentiment hasn't exactly worked very well for us. So far, at least.

Then it will probably be 'Team-work' and 'High SP players'. You'll never stop a player from leaving a match they feel will be difficult, the reasons will always change.
"Difficult" is not the same as "Worthwhile".
* Kill a merc in higher meta gear than yours, receive a small Isk bonus EOM.
* Kill a merc in substantially higher meta gear than yours, receive a substantial Isk bonus EOM.
If players were able to farm Isk off of protostompers, they'd begin to see protostomps as opportunities to make money (rather than opportunities to lose money). This would address one of the major reasons why players leave battle.
As for teamwork, it does become a 'bit much when 6 players on one side of a 12v12 fight have unlimited resources and are each pushing 100M SP. Reducing squad size to 4 would make stompsquads more vulnerable and, in turn, their victories less assured. Once players see that 100M SP vets bleed like everyone else, they'll be less likely to run away. And -- perhaps most importantly -- if the groupings of 6 vets were reduced to 4, Scotty would have a much easier time serving up good fights in the first place.

100% agree.
