Incrase the penalty for leaving a dungeon

Because anyone who's going to so that is invariably going to be the source of other problems in the dungeon.

I don't do this all the time. Just in certain dungeons where this tends to be an issue.

lol, how does it go down with the other players? What if the tank leaves O_o wouldn't that be the end?

X_X ROFL - harsh but fair (and scary)!

The penalty for leaving dungeons should be removed. There is too much trolling and general douchebaggery especially in CT because people know they can do it with no consequence. If everyone could just leave with no penalty these people would find themselves trolling an empty instance.

Honestly, it's never been a tank who's left. Once it was a healer, which we quickly replaced. Every other time it was a DPS.

I think the penalty for kicking too much should exist somehow. I feel like there's zero motivation for people to help others when a replacement via kick seems like the preferred route everyone takes.

Thats what i used to do before the "Vote abandon" feature was in game. :P

When you see your DF party isnt gonna be able to clear this instance, or will take em the whole timer to figure it out, i was, after the 3rd wipe or so, pulling to the group over and over until someone eventually ragequit. ( Was mostly doing it on primals, almost never did in dungeons )

Douchey you would say, right?
Well not really.
Why was i doing this rather than leaving? Because i shouldn't be taking the penalty because i get grouped with a bunch of f*ckwits telling you to STFU or simply don't even care to read the chatlog when you try to explain em ( nicely first ) what they were doing wrong or the fight mechanics.

If your tank leaves, have a Summoner use Topaz/Titan, or let a Monk, Bard, or Dragoon tank. Just like when it happens any other time.

They should add the 30 penalty to withdrawing CT queue before any other instances as a test to see if it lowers the amount of people withdrawing. If it does, extend it to the Duty roulette / Duty finder.

Well, we will then have people afk'ing but hey. There will always be something anyway.

Don't be so harsh. You don't know their stories. I've spent hours in dungeons with parties that don't make the cut to try and get lower geared players the win, and despite trying to be nice and help these players, it does get frustrating. I've never lashed out at the very beginning of a dungeon though, but I can imagine some very frustrated players just losing it.
