Players Backing Out
I’m so sick of the constant rage quit, people backing out the last second, all you will ever see in this game is people quitting out. It’s makes this game so annoying to play and overall EXTREMELY HA...

Yeah, this list would be great. Personally I don't see a ton of quiting because I haven't played drops for a while. Clubs won't typically quit too quickly unless you're up 4-5 goals in the first period, but we usually don't care and prefer to have a game be close than a blowout.
While this list is good another thing to consider is having MORE reason to finish games. We're really not playing for much. I get to Elite CR and then what? We just keep playing. The game needs to create incentives. Whether this be in the form of a player we build up.. a club we build up.. online tournaments.. then you create punishments for leaving games. If your character XP would drop to 0 (for that level) because of a quit maybe you think twice? If it meant you couldn't get into an online tournement or something else then maybe you hesitate a little more about choosing to quit.
As it stands now I have tons of xp boosts, I've never used one. Clearly losing your potential XP isnt something that players are very worried about. I rarely ever quit, my percentage is likely between 0-1% but if I come across a troll or something I'm not gonna think too much about whether or not I should quit. I value my time. I'll get a new lobby going and keep playing, there's currently no reason to stay and no reason to keep playing with a troll.. or deal with any of the previous problems I've listed and others have.
I think the first step is fixing all the ways people would (in my opinion) have a legitimate reason to leave. After that, I'm all for punishing it.

This is something I don't quite understand. I get that we like having extra incentive to play, but aren't we all playing because we love the sport and the competition from it? Personally, I don't need rewards. The fun from playing video game hockey with my friends against others is reason enough. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see something like tournaments added. I just don't need more incentive to play since the game, at it's core, is fun.

Agreed. Same here. Although, I understand the streaming community may want shiny collectables, costumes, emotes etc - I think the majority just love playing the sport.
It's almost like drop-ins should just be perpetual sessions that restart a game after 3 periods (without having to reload the game), so people can freely join and quit as desired. So when you select 'Drop-in' - it will toss you in an open session with an open position that matches your desired option. Game could be midway through the 2nd, could be almost over - so you play out the last few minutes and stick around for period 1 to start again.
Allowing people to quit and join during this open session would ensure it's always humans v humans.
Save all the matchmaking logic for clubs only and just have drop-ins as an 'open session' kind of vibe.

I wouldn't mind drop-ins working that way. Allowing open spots to be filled and just restarting a game instead of going through the end game screens, back to the lobby and starting the whole process over again. Seems like it could be kind of a nightmare for keeping track of stats though.
