Many times before we moved, I would get disconnected from the servers or the internet altogether mid game. Now, if the game finishes before you can get connected again, you receive this "deserter status" which prevents you from playing for a half hour. Now this isn't that big of a deal, and I do understand that it is implemented to stop people from just quitting out of the game. However, I feel you should have a once a day bypass. This way if there is a mistake you have a chance to continue playing. If you only have time for one or two games and you lag out of one, shouldn't you get that chance to redeem yourself? Many people love this game, and thoroughly enjoy playing, myself included. But it has become such a nuisance to have to wait so long to play after a slight mishap that I am considering putting the game down for good. Even if it isn't a once a day complete bypass maybe start off the timer at five minutes and if they are a repeat offender tack on some extra time every time they quit early. Or, maybe even give people a few games grace period and then do thirty minutes or start building up five minutes at a time. Is it really too much to ask for? I think this will help the smite community tremendously, and will even offer some extra customer service and satisfaction.  Just be a little more forgiving to the players. It's not always a rage quit Hi-Rez.
