Let people quit if they want to but if they don't complete a match generate a new stat which says "games played/games stayed" - This will show us who rampant rage quitters are, if someone has 2,000 matches played, 200 matches completed then we will know that they are just a rage quitter.
It works like this: When you join a match, the counter begins and the only way to advanace the game played/games stayed stat is to get the match bonus at the end.
It would be an interesting stat, it must be in between K/D and W/L on the stat board so people can get a good judgement of what that player does.

I agree with that stat. Also Dboarding has to give you a loss. I hate having ppl assume I pull that crap all day long when they see my win loss.
I also thing if they leave games more than x times in a a half an our they need to be penalized with a time ban of 30 min.

I don't think you Can lump ALL quitters into the same category and to have I ratio measurement in place is not only unworkable its daft.
With all of the problems affecting this game it would be unfair to penalize someone for leaving a game because they were being shot through buildings, spawn trapped, Quickscoped etc.
The petition should be entitled 'Activision Do SOMETHING, ANYTHING! you good for nothing Gimps'
What you need to do is join/start a clan, then you shouldn't experience these issues

Clans are the worst for quitting entire teams will drop out when it's clear they're gonna lose or they get killed in a way they don't like the otherday 4 people with the same clan tag jumped out when they called in a helicopter which got shot down.

I understand where you're coming from if you're solo in a team game and a clan you're not a part of quits. That is down to bad leadership, the clan leader has the ability to expel members if they are being twats.
The OP could start his own clan with a rule that quiters need not apply.

Don't worry Dave, I have. Only 4 members so far but at least the gameplay is good.

Why quiting wasn't the issue in MW2 or BO?
Why suddenly there are so many quiters in MW3.
Everybody knows the answer - the game is broken!
If you are the host, you're in disadventage- reason to quit
If you lag 1 sec. behind, why to continue?
If you being spawn killed too many times- aren't you angry?
The list goes on, the game was never completed, probably never will be.
There's no reason to punish players, because they bought defective product.

I totally agree with this comment. I quit games as you can see by my last post on the forum. This is down to the issues when I am made host, the lag is absolutely garbage and ruins the game completely. To get an open Nat type on blops I had to set up static IP address and forward ports. For this game I have done nothing and yet I get open Nat type and host every other game. Until they sort the issues out with host lag I will quit. However to be fair I usually know within seconds if I'm host, simply running or coming up on aim with a sniper highlights the lag and I quit.

Twice. Both times for extreme lag. I haven't really had a problem with lag in Australia luckily.

Sorry bud but I will quit when ever I get host. The lag is absolutely garbage and ruins the game completely. I know within seconds if I get host as I stop running mid step or my sniper sights stop swaying. Until Infinityward sort out the host lag I will quit. My understanding of quitting is that it counts as a lose even if your team are winning, I couldn't care less about stats etc, I want to play and enjoy the game I spent £79 on.

Tell you what .. why dont you make Activision supply a huge guy who will tie up your relatives and beat them senseless when you quit "for the wrong reason", this obviously is to be decided by the OP. Or we could get Sony to rig all PS3's with semtex, they will then self destruct after more than one game quit "for the wrong reason".
People quit all the time, lag mainlyor maybe they are halfway through a game and the phone goes, or the doorbell rings. I quit, mainly because of the brain donors who play this game. Having popped into this forum to see what was happening in the world of MW3 and encountered this drivel I see nothing much has changed.
I would love one of the squeakers to nip round and berate me for quitting a game I paid for.

I'm not talking about genuine reasons for quitting, I thought I had made that PERFECTLY clear.
I'm talking about people quitting to boost stats, because they are getting owned legit, because someone used a Striker or whatever other piece of legit equipment to kill them.
Read my post properly mate.
It doesn't matter that you paid for the game, we all did. And we don't need people needlessly ruining it for everyone.
Fair comment?

But in all fairness, how would they really be able to determine if a person is quiting for the "right" reasons? How the game is playing is very subjective and relative to the individual playing.

People will stop rage quitting when lag is sorted,when quickscoping is removed,when deathstreaks are removed,when stealth bombers are removed from support. What im saying is that their are potentially 100s of reasons why people quit,
Do you expect me to stay in a game that i have joined when the team im on are losing badly? in that case its right to quit.
Also because i paid £44.99 for this game, does that give me the right to quit if i like?

I think quitting a match is in my good right.
I quit when I'm host, noticeable by the fact I'm 1or 2 secs behind the rest.
I quit when my team is rampage, complete douchebags who don't show they are at least trying to win the match.
I quit when the lag turns horrible, especially when I'm using a sniper rifle and can't get a shot right.
Quitting is my good right, I don't care it will give a extra loss, I rather quit a match and have a good feel match afterwards then totally freak out on a matches which are affected by above criteria.

Silly admiral....
Who says you can't change it? Only you by the looks of it.
Without a voice, or an action, nothing ever changes in life.
Some of the greatest changes in our time have come from petitions.
If you don't want to help the community have a voice and fix things that's fine, just don't go around poisoning positive action.
Peace.

i don't care if and why people quit a match. i tend to notice the people that complain about it care more about the possable loss of their stats from that match. Plane and simple it's about them not the player that quit.
