There's only really 2 reasons I'll leave a match. First is if the framerate becomes so bad it's impossible to shoot at anything (which happens far more often than it should) and second if there's a squad on the other side running officer gear and my blues are losing everything to them left and right.
Just to be clear, I either run solo or with my girlfriend because we take a cigarette break after nearly every match and frequent beer breaks. We don't feel like causing other people to wait on us so we don't squad with others, and two people who have very little blueberry backup have little hope against an officer squad with wall-hacking permascans. Typically I'll pull a MLT dropship out and let her bomb officer gear with MLT missiles. It's very satisfying to see them leaving the match after their officer gear goes boom in a cloud of MLT shrapnel, but that's not an option on all maps and when they have proper dropships on their side it's pointless. So when I have to choose between suiciding against a wall of red with next to no blue assistance, sitting in the redline longingly looking at a letter while afking, or simply moving on to the next match I choose the latter.
I have no interest in wasting ISK and feeding it to asshats using broken officer gear, nor do i feel like running free stuff so I can die quickly and pad their stats. Some may see that as entertainment, I on the other hand would get more enjoyment out of peeling my fingernails off one by one with a pair of pliers than I would from being someone's source of stat-padding/ISK farming.

Oh, and until you either create perfect balance gamewide between all suits, weapons, modules and tiers thereof or introduce a MLT/STD only playist;punishment of people who quit matches will do nothing but drop your already withered playercount. People should never be obligated to play matches that suck for reasons like broken mechanics, cheap tactics being available, horrid framerate and obviously overpowered gear on the other side.

War is getting your side to win by making the other poor SOB die for his side. This isnt organized sports, this isnt monopoly with friends. You were hired to participate in a battle. As a soldier of fortune, Your supposed to be making your fortune throwing down the heavy hits your contractor asked you to. Lets say you finished a battle and the NPC corp decided not to pay you? What if halfway through the battle the NPC corp called off the attack and refused payout? If the NPC corp breached its contract with you, youd be livid. Yet you reserve the right to break the contract with them on a whim with no penalty?
REALITY CHECK: This is not war, this a videogame. A videogame requires balance between players or it's not enjoyable to play. If it's not enjoyable to play your game dies. Balance > Realism.
Let's say you put down the keyboard until you recognise the difference between a war and an entertainment source.

Ok, so if you dont want to participate in the meta, why are you here? Why dont you go play Mario Party or something? Did you ever consider that the whole concept of a universe and of meta and of mercs actually might be entertaining to people? People who dont just sign onto a game to get a sense of self worth from numbers? You talk about balance but listed "cheap tactics" as a reason for quitting. A cheap tactic has nothing to do with balance it just means you arent smart enough to have developed a counter. Maybe if you spent less time rage quitting and more time being creative there would be no "cheap tactics" used against you.
Kid if you enjoy waving your HTFU flag that much, go play EVE and quit trying to force a lobby shooter to hold to the standards of an enormous space sandbox with PvE, PvP, actual events, proper mechanics, Concord, etc. Meta can be fun, but meta doesn't keep a game alive on its own. Cheap tactics are a balancing issue, as evidenced by CCP's attempt (and failure for the most part) to fix RE Frisbees among other things like tower forge sniping, the original thukker grenades, the old broken Gal logi standing in repping hives, etc. The fact that cheap tactics have counters has nothing to do with whether or not they belong in the game and whether or not they hurt te gameplay. Try thinking through all of the factors involved with a decision before jumping on a self-destructive bandwagon.
