What about a system where each quit sticks with you for 24 hours( or maybe even use a 72 hour model) before rolling off your account and for each quit you have on your account it gradually adds up to a higher and higher penalty.

Essentially the way it would work would be that this:
1st quit - No penalty this one is a gimme
2nd quit - 10 minute penalty
3rd quit - 20 minute penalty
4th quit - 40 minute penalty
5th quit - 80 minute penalty
(and so on).

Again the quits would roll off your account after they had been on your account for 24 hours. So, lets say I quit a dungeon at 6pm my time..than 6pm the next day it no longer counts against me. This would effectively punish those people who are just bouncing in and out of groups all day and at the same time it has some leeway for disconnects or situations where you simply have real life issues to attend to and have to log off.

Also keep in mind it shouldnt negatively impact a player who is essentially forced to quit due to other party members bailing..meaning that once a player bailed..the rest of the group would be able to quit without penalty.

Yeah punish people for deciding what they want to do with their time, and with their subscription that they pay for.

How about, each try you tally against a boss gives you 5 more philosophy tokens? Or 3? That's not really exploitable, since it doesn't add in mythology. You wouldn't get x tokens for dying, you'd get the total for winning. Like if you die to demon wall twice, rather than the 20 tokens you get, you get 26 (20+3+3).

Dungeon finder should also give a reward for using it over just queuing with friends (you can probably expect a better run with friends, faster, smoother, so it evens out in the end).

I really like where this idea is heading. Extra incentive to keep trying with groups that might be struggling. If was to combine it with a means of better discouraging those abusing the system, might go a long way.

I would of still given the fight a couple of tries before leaving, for a couple of reasons. Some won't learn that their gear is lacking until they have tried a time or two, and sometimes people with lesser gear surprise you with being really skilled.
