They need a crucible streak just like the vanguard streak for strikes that increases your chance at legendary items would encourage people to stay a bit more.

what they need to address is simply why people leave games so regularly in destiny in the first place.

not necessarily institute penalties but create more incentive for people to stay or alleviate the reasons why they are leaving.

personally if i have left a match it could be for a few different reasons. if more than half my team has already left and we are simply getting trounced, not fun. if the other team is lagging horribly, not fun. if i spawn into a match that people have already quit and the game is far gone, not fun.

so these issues could be alleviated by tiered matchmaking combined with dedicated servers, something most fps games have.

Cuz most people who plays destiny are straight ass at shooting at anything other than a taken thrall. People dont enjoy doing things they're bad at

so match those people against people of similar incompetence

I usually stay in those games. It's hard to get better when you quit out when the odds are against you. It's easy to pat yourself on the back when you're doing the trouncing in the next game.

I still report all the laggers and such though. However there have been enough games where I join in on a losing team and we either win or come damn close

Skill based matchmaking would be a much better solution
Most games would probably be a lot closer and you wouldn't even need a mercy rule

That never gonna happen in destiny though, hopefully in Destiny 2, they focus on pvp with custom lobbies, dedicated servers, and so on

Especially separating pvp and pve weapon balances

...
If you think there is not skill based match making, you are mistaken.

When I join a fireteam with a buddy who is horrible at PvP (.3-.5 KD) I completely shit on the other team and get KD of 2.0-3.0 regularly up to 4.0+ frequently.
But if I play solo, or with other friends who are similar skill I have a more challenging match and my KD is closer to 1.25-1.5
