Just put him on ignore. I just wish the "ignore" function would also block other people quoting that person too....

This is not kindergarten. There are better solutions to the queue withdrawl issue. This is poorly done.

last night we had someone d/c and since he went offline instead of hitting confirm one of the party members got the 30 minute lockout. tell me again why this system was necessary instead of people just dealing with the extra few minutes waiting on a non troll?

As a concerned tank, I would most definitely support the complete termination of the current lock out timer for withdrawals. Let the innocent be victims no longer.

You really don't know why someone would do that? Joining an in progress party when they're at last boss means you only have to spend 5 min on that dungeon while still getting the daily tome bonus or the alexandrite map. Tanks usually do it all the time since it's instant for them. Queue, not in-progress, withdraw and repeat a few times till it's in progress or just try later.

So...SE is to blame for your poor time management skills in the first scenario, your poor attention span in the second, and your poor motor skills in the third?

SE is to blame for an overly harsh solution, yes.

It wasn't necessarily him, it was the people he partied with. Him getting penalized for their mistakes or carelessness is highly unnecessary. Groups don't have any motive to "fish" for anything. They can't join in progress.

No, but groups can still mess with people. Use the ready check feature or find something else to do for 30 minutes.

fixed it a bit
remove it and we would be back to 25 minute withdraw orgy before entering a DF content, added to the 30 minute queue time for Non-Tanks

The only valid complaint about the lockout so far.
