Dungeon penalty shouldn't count for queuing something solo

But that's the OP, they didn't ditch a group. They just AFKed in something they were in solo and unsynced.

If that's really a thing that happens, then that part of the system is dumb, but I don't think it's intentional. I think that's more something attached to the game's queueing system in general, something they apparently couldn't be bothered to remove when they added unsynced as an option.

Or maybe they just don't like people "wasting" instance servers?

AFKing while solo does not get you a penalty if the duty times out, and is not the situation that OP is talking about.

I agree with OP. Unsync is for personal use in dungeons. The penalty shouldn't apply to it.

It already doesn't

The OP is talking about leaving a multi-person dungeon, getting a penalty, and then not being able to participate in anything that requires an instance for 30 minutes. That's as it should be. Doing anything unsync solo and bailing does not incur a penalty.

A lot of people need to learn to read...

They are talking about LEAVING A DUNGEON and THEN finding out that abandoning OTHER PLAYERS penalizes EVERYTHING in Duty Finder, which is 100% fine. You need punishied for inconviencing other people. The 30min timer is a joke anyways. When I get it, I legit go do whatever I had to do and by the time I get back it's either gone or there's a few minutes left on it.
