No Iron Banner rep whatsoever for a loss practically encourages leaving the match early.
If the whole team stays despite losing by a decent amount(which is rare), I will stay in the match. But if 2 or more people on my team leave I will too. There is literally no reason to stay at that point. I get that this is supposed to be like a more "hardcore" version of the Crucible, but this seems like an obvious flaw that should have been accounted for. Leave the masses to their own devices and they do stupid stuff like this. Maybe getting 5 rep for wearing the shader and 5 for wearing the emblem even though you lost. Just..... something....

I can see the amount of distain towards the quitters of the Iron Banner is apparent, but no one's truly understanding WHY these people are doing this. I said this in another thread, I'll share it here. The idea of punishing the quitters fails to point out the #1 reason why people are quitting mid game left and right. There simply isn't a want to stay in a game where you're wasting 15 mins of your time in a losing battle with Suros/Mythoclast-wielding teams with not a single step forward towards the item you're working your ass off to get. So weigh in the fact that not only is this a grotesquely time-consuming process (you manage to reach rank 1, good luck because prepare to have to win 48 more matches to reach rank 2. And if each match is roughly 15 mins, then 15 by 48, you're looking at around 12 hrs worth of straight grinding just to get to the second rank if you're not doing the bounties with it) to put in all your skill just to be wrecked by those who were lucky enough to get these over-the-top exotics, but everytime you lose its as if you never played that match to begin with. No one goes to the iron banner for crucible marks, no one. They can simply go to the crucible and have a better time there knowing that they're still going to get what they came for just for putting in effort and working as a team. This event is terribly flawed due to one simple factor of giving everyone a chance at obtaining something thats limited to a time strain which not everyone is fortunate enough to meet. And THAT is the reason why so many continue to quit in mid battle. Bungie neglects this fact and the players suffer for it. Not just you, but those who are forced to leave prematurely also. Lets be honest, if they could still leave with at least 5 reps, the drop out rate would be considerably less to the point where you wouldn't even notice if someone dropped out. But what the most agonizing part about this whole thing is.... it only lasts a week. Do not forget that people actually have lives outside of Destiny. Work, Spouses, Children, etc. Not everyone has the time to commit to something like that.
