If you're here, who's flying the ship?

The fact anybody uses that counter to judge people is in itself kinda funny.
Personally the matches played counter tells me most of what I need to know.

I'm gonna go a step further and say that actually flying with the player tells me most of what I need to know. I've met a lot of newbies who played like vets.

Well of course, I figured that was a given. I remember the "leaver count" from beta and I never looked at that either. People are so judgmental these days.

The first time somebody mentions my left games I'm gonna come here complaining that I've been judged based on that. :P
Seriously though, I'm not a fan of the counter, and not because I tend to leave matches, but because I believe it means really nothing. And if nobody looks at it anyway and it's not a basis for any sort of prejudice (and seriously, it shouldn't be) then what's the point of making it public? To show interesting general trivia about players? Many devoted GoI fans feel bad about those left matches exactly because they care about the matches and the people they've played with. I don't know how many times I had to say sorry to my mates when either a power cut or a life issue forced me to suddenly log off/disconnect. The whole situation is uncomfortable in itself when it happens, but when it is also displayed on my profile, it kinda does suggest that I let people down in X cases when in fact I had no choice and the whole thing was beyond me.
HamsterIV:
If you have flown 2000+ games you have probably developed a reputation in the community that renders those 50 "left games" meaningless. I am ok with a Left Game Counter because it discourages the kind of sleazy game play where players join a game realize they can't win and leave it in hopes of finding one they can win.
I think it should only apply to captains. Crew who leave mid game are not as much an impediment to the flow of the game as a captain who leaves. Sometimes loosing a human crewman will make a ship work better. However when a captain leaves nobody can quite fill the void.
