I would say that your -1Exp came from a similarly bad connection.

Have you ever been searching for a game, been matched up, had the level selected, and then suddenly get told that it is restarting the search? Sometimes the series of events happens almost instantly. Each of those has resulted in a -1 for me. I just get over it now. I don't care that much about experience, or levels.

I've had that happen to me, I got lagged out of a double team game, (I'm fairly sure they were cheating) and I not only lost exp but 2 ranks.

I've had that restarting search thing a lot lately. I think its mostly because people quit.

I had once pitched an idea about attoning for lost Experience.

Perhaps, for every twenty ranked games completed in a row, a single experience would be removed.

And, to set some limit, perhaps you can only re-attain twenty career points? Or maybe tiers could be established: once you achieve -10 EXP, you can no longer make up those -10. Same would go for -20, etc.

Stooping to the lowest level of whoring...

So I pride myself in never quitting any games, and had 0 EXP Penalties until fairly recently. Anyway, I'm not sure where I got my -1 and this thread isn't to complain about that. I just think it would be a nice feature to have your penalty value actually be a link taking you to a list of all games that have earned you an EXP Penalty. I'm pretty curious about which game it was and figure I accepted a game invite during an unranked team game or something, just a thought.

Also, I was thinking about how some players have complained about losing EXP for disconnects they have no control over. Well I figure counting games quit and disconnects separately (but leaving both as -1 EXP) would let these people show they're not quitters but just suffer from bad connections (almost as bad, IMO...).

So yeah, those are some ideas.
