Although I primarily agree with you, I think the Experience deductions are flawed. However, I'm not sure how to fix it either. I know checking the timeout may sort of help, but it certainly wouldn't completely determine quitters from network issues.
I know I have only quit 1 game to play with a good friend who came online. yet the other day it said -4. So I could assume that the rest of the deductions were for network issues. I'm using the USB Wireless adapter since that is the only way I can connect at the post-secondary institution I work for. For the most part, everything has been fine connection-wise, except for the last 2 days. Atrocious lag. I mean, way over 25 seconds to respawn. And invisible grenades, kills not credited, when they show up onscreen, kills being taken away (I'm not thinking assists either).
I'm fine with a few experience points being deducted, but if it's because of network issues and that issue will keep piling up negative points when the network lags, I'm a little worried about playing a game that's going to deduct points based on my unavoidable circumstances. In the very least, I try and apologize over the network to my teammates for my seeminly 'lack of kills' during the last two days and they understand, but I'm not sure if you could trust teammates to vouch for your troubles to 'veto' negative experience points.
