We'll see how the quitting continues once the full game is released and players can use all the matchmaking options. I can't be the only person who wants the ability to set map / variant preferences. When playing Halo 3 Slayer games, I saw more people quitting or AFK on Team Sniper & Shotty Sniper than any other variant. The only exception was on Narrows where it was mostly shotgun rush unless the other team were MLG players that sniped you for blinking, how they could see your eyes through the visor is beyond me. I'd prefer to wait an extra couple minutes than get stuck in an unfair match.
If setting my GamerZone to Family would exclude you from being matched against Pro & Underground that would be a simple workaround, but GamerZone still isn't being taken into account in matchmaking or given very low weighting.
Before going the quit ban route it's probably worth checking the player's quit metrics to see what map/variant they're quitting out of first. It's also a good way to see what map/variants players like or dislike. Another worthwhile option would be having RFQ (Reasons For Quitting) when you quit so players can select their reason although certain options would have a bigger impact on the quit probation/ban and others would be exemptions but only Bungie would know which option(s) if used repetitiously would yield the banhammer. It's a little more work for Bungie to implement but in the end it would better the community. I would be incredibly surprised if this was the first time RFQ was thought up.
I'm digging Stosh with his "big honking space gun" er um, 1-shot-team-kill-blaster.
