It depends on many factors. Some games penalize you for quitting in ways other than the disconnect percentage, and in some games you'll still net points for what you did even if you lost
If the game's conducive to quitting (Monster Hunter definitely qualifies here. If it's a choice between abandoning a quest and having everything restored to prequest status, and losing, with lost HR points and all the items you used in your attempt gone, Monster Hunter really encourages quitting over failure if you see the writing on the wall)
Reward me for at least trying, even if its a pittance (Mario Strikers Charged did this well. You won points equal to the number of goals scored even if you lost overall, just that your opponent got a 10-point bonus), and i'll tough it out. Penalize me for losing, and i'll take a 60% connection ratio. Penalize me for losing or for quitting, and i probably won't play online at all
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
