In my quest for Vanguard gear, I was left alone by two quitters. Just to spite them, I not only completed the strike on my own, but earned Flawless Striker, as well, since I never died. That being said, I think there should be a penalty, and a hefty one, for quitting strikes. Something like disallowing them from going anywhere/doing anything except go to the tower for a while would be a good start.
For reference, I was in the Vanguard Tiger playlist (or whatever the level 24 stirke playlist is called). Also, being a level 25 Titan Defender helped.
Any suggestions? Thoughts?
Edit: I've said this enough in the comments, but I'll have to put it here. Quitting and connection issues are different. The game definitely knows the difference, and connection issues wouldn't/shouldn't be punished.

To deflate your ego a bit, I guarentee you exploited the wall bug to kill Phogoth, but even getting there is good work. As for penalties, I would suggest the League of Legends LeaverBuster. You accumulate points for every leave and lose points for successive finishes in a game. Once you hit a certain amount of points you are banned for a length of time with successive bans increasing in duration. If you are repeatedly disconnecting, resolve your internet issues before going into multiplayer.
