Please, Remove Profle's Leave Count
HamsterIV:
I don't think leave % will be the main stat people will look at in the stat related pissing contests I have never seen in this game. The simple solution will be to play more games and leave less of them. If this is really discriminatory to people who started playing after the last patch muse could always calculate leave percentage out of the last 100 games the player was in. Thus allowing serial leavers to redeem themselves by playing 100 games without abandoning their comrades.

I actually like this idea

Sure, but I end up playing just to finish a game, instead of, say, looking for achievements. And as these problems are not, as I write this, dealt with, I always end up playing with aprehension. I fear that my "leave count percentage" will get proportionally higher if I play.
And I believe whatever's in the profile is public; One will spend a little fortune to make his avatar look good but wouldn't mind a high Leave Count? Sounds contradictory; A low Leave Count is worth much more than a spiffy outfit to me.
At the same time I recognize the need to spot out "rage quitters"... but couldn't this be linked to the use of the "abandon game" and "exit" buttons? That's how ragers will quit, instead of an accidental disconnection. What about that?

Wait are you saying that the leave counter is causing you to finish out matches instead of abandoning your teammates to hunt for achievements because if so that's a good thing. If you start a match you kind of owe it to your team to finish it out.
All in favor of keeping the leave counter say aye!

Nah; I must have been unclear.
When I get disconnected, and manages to re-connect, the game slags so much that I'm all but useless onboard. All I experience when getting back are like stills with background music. It's terribly boring for me (far from getting achievements, I get no play at all), and I'm pretty sure an AI can do a better job on the ship in these cases, but I stick around nonetheless, in spite of being a nuisance to my team just so I won't get +1 to my leave count... and often for naught.
If it wasn't for that Leave Count, I would not try to re-connect after a few disconnections, and as a result, the ship I was on will have a full crew (even if it's with AIs) instead of being -1. I admit that for pilot, it is more difficult than that - and that's why I almost pilot no more.
Oh, and I like the paternalistic tone about achievements when it's coming from a level 14 pilot. ;)
What about my proposition to up the leave count only on the use of the "Abandon match" and "exit game" buttons?
