The sad thing is that you get the disconnect negative credit against your account when someone else alt f4's as well. They disconnect and you get one recorded too. I know EA updated the multiplayer game so you can vote a disconnector out in which case you don't get the negative, they need to do the same for single player quickmatches as thats where I've picked up most of mine. What bugs the most is that the disconnect counts as -1 point against your ranking, if you'd lost you would have lost nothing on your promotion ladder (other than a lower win %). You've then got to win another game to get back to where you've started. I know how frustrated you feel, I've just come offline now after a near on 2hr battle in quickmatch that was really a very good game and when the balance shifted to my favour, my gaming "buddy" decided to disconnect. I know it don't help much and probably isn't the right thing to do, but I write the sad acts name down just in case I come across them at a later date (only happened twice though) when I give them a few "choice words" and then exit the match (exit not disconnect). Lets hope EA can fix the lowlife cheaters problem.
