Consumable idea: no frickin JIP (Destiny)

If Bungie were to put a No-Join-In-Progress toggle in the settings (and make Ragashingo the happiest person in the world), would there be a negative effect on matchmaking in a larger sense?

Absolutely. Games where one player dropped would instantly turn into the entire team dropping.

What I think they should do is take the matchmaking ratings of players and only join you in progress to a game where you out-rank the players in that game by a large margin. That would both make it kind of fun for the JIP player (holy crap, these guys SUCK) and for the shorthanded team (OMG, this guy's a HERO!).

And MAN would that be fun for the opposing team, who didn't have any part of the quitter, and who was (presumably) sort of skill-matched with the original team (and so would be light-years below the new guy).

Count me out of this one.
