I think this is an acceptable compromise, but I still feel that it would be preferable to penalize quitters for quitting, even if it means that people who legitimately lose their connection are sometimes forced to accept losses they may not have earned. I am perhaps colored by my experiences in other RTS games. Too many people I would beat in AOE2 and AOE3 would ask for a draw/save game to mask a losing fight just so they could preserve their win/loss records. To me, not penalizing quitters amounts to a passive acceptance of over-inflated win/loss records. Your mileage may vary, however. :) With the recent update, there has been a fix so that when opponents use the resign/concede defeat function, the winner actually gets a win tallied and gets the benefit of any perks that could be earned as a result.
