I think it's a good idea, but if you kicked of the server will it still count against you.

It's a great idea, and I've been wondering if they were ever gonna do this. Most MMO's have a similar nechanic.

As far as losing connection - usually, if I get booted out of a queued instance like that; I'm logging back in ASAP - and it logs me right back into the battle. If you aren't able to log back in within a certain time frame - several minutes, I believe - then you'll log back in to whatever map you were in before you queued. In which case, I'm sure it would count against you. So it just ends up being a question of how long it takes you to log back on as to whether or not you'd get the quitter penalty.

But I also think the AFK penalty is different from the quitter penalty. Being penalized for leaving a map early has been in the game for a while now.
