Quitting wasn't 100% of the problem they were addressing (Destiny)

You're actually ignoring half of the problem they were trying to fix. The reason they implemented the coins is they want to make it easier to rank up in Iron Banner. If they had JUST put in penalties for quitting then that wouldn't actually help the people who lose 5 matches in a row from not getting anything towards their Iron Banner rank. I do think there probably needs to be harsher AFK penalties when you are in Matchmaking, but that's not the entire problem. The coins are good step forward, and now they can see the percentage of people that AFK and kick them quicker, and penalize them for multiple AFK kicks, or find a similar system.

TL;DR: Quitting was just the symptom, the problem is the difficulty in getting Iron Banner Reputation. Treating just the symptom won't solve the underlying problem.
