 I'm one of those dudes that doesn't quit unless I'm about to be left behind for dinner IRL, so there's that.
 Full teams can be redlined, and not be able to fight their way back out to the field, so there's that.
 New Eden must be able to provide crushing victories, which are the yin to the yang of crushing defeat, so there's that.
All that said, it seems to me like a match should be forfeited by the public-corporation offering the contract if there is a certain disparity in mercs present (8 vs 16 for example). The other side simply can't win due to the inability to field the required amount of force to win. The match would end with all counters stopping at their natural end (for calculating payouts and SP).
So I propose: Once this ratio has been hit, all objectives are locked to their current teams, if an MCC is destroyed before this timer ends... then the match ends naturally. However, an acquisition type objective is placed on the map at one of the random terminals. This acquisition objective represents the controls for the stasis webifier that is keeping our MCC from warping out (MCC's aren't cheap, right?). Once the ratio is hit and the timer starts, people may still leave without penalty. If the remaining mercenaries are able to hold this single objective for 60-seconds or something, the MCC is freed and the battle is lost, without the destruction of the MCC. The company that didn't lose the MCC, even if they lost the territory would be grateful, and would pay a bonus to the mercenaries that stuck around and did this dirty work. Ideas?
Here's the Maff:
MCC's were valued around 130 Million isk in one of the earliest Dust514 videos, and their loss would be significant to any party that was an owner. What if there was a 2 Million isk pool for the mercs that stick around and successfully release the stasis web? This means that a team of 8 would get 250k each IF THEY ACCOMPLISHED THE MISSION, or a team of 2 would get 1M isk/each if they accomplished the mission.
When sticks don't work, consider carrots

Not bad but it's the sames people's fault. In an 8vs15, people automatically just give up and I hate that. You know what I have done a couple times? I run officer when outmatched. Kill some and the rest of team starts to see that it's possible to win and they start to try again. It's everyone's fault for being such babies

I just don't like playing the same map 3 out of 5 matches among other things .
There are multiple reasons people leave , you just can't pinpoint one thing and say this is it even though Q's in pubs have a lot to do with that , there are multiple reasons .
Me , I can play threw a Q but map rotation is sometimes , not noticeable so I generate my own map rotation .
Teamwork is really important - said the Tyrannosarus Rex from Kung Fury .

I don't know what you're talking about.
I can take 8 people I know, and win against 16.
Depends on user skill. Also, no penalty for leaving matches till there is a actually reason to stick it out.
So, Hell. No.

This community is just a wuss in a major part.
If they don't want to fight they shouldn't search for battle.
