Would it be possible to implement a "failsafe" whereby a player on trying to "X" out of the game is confronted with a pop-up window which says "Are you sure you want to exit game" or some such drivel ,and is then required to "X" out again. This would distinguish between involuntary disconnects and intentional ones and should be fairly simple to make operational.
At first sigth this look like a good idea and a good solution. However, it seems to me that you can always quit on purpose a game by just closing the browser (I don't think WGT can have a control on this. Edit: moreover you can always kill the browser executable in the task manager.) or even by shutting down the computer (quite extreme but you know :) ). You would then quit the game intentionally without having to click on that additional button.
But I am not a computer expert, so perhaps there is a solution along the line you propose. I guess there are members that are more into computer and programmation than me :) .
