Auto-pilot
When you crash your car, the airbags deploy. There are even some new Mercedes Benzes that sense the crash and roll up the windows, adjust the seat for impact, tighten the seat belts, and close the sunroof. (Imagine if your seat adjusted, your seat belt locked, and your windows rolled up when you were just driving down the road, minding your own business! That'd freak me out, for sure.) When will the same safety features be implemented into online games? Oh no, you're down by 50,000 points on Rock Band! Auto-disconnect! Punk'd! Now who wins? Yeah, it might crush your reputation, but whatever. Now if we could only find a way to keep it from decreasing your TrueSkill rank... the cheating would be complete. We might be branded and lose all our Gamerscore, but that's a risk we'd have to take to win in life. Or win in games. Or whatever's important. I don't know.
