Abandon Debuff - Please adjust

Please adjust the duty abandonment penalty. I was in a horrible group earlier with a paladin who could not keep hate and was not current on his class specific quests (so he had no shield). Someone left the party - which should have paved the way for me to leave the party as well - but I was in combat. Once the first person left, another was added RIGHT as I was clicking to leave and so when I exited the "full party" it gave me the debuff.

Once someone else has already left the party. There should be a few minute window where others can leave without penalty.

This is very common occurrence in American and European server to be honest. A bunch of newly minted players who have zero idea of how to play their roles due to their "sandbox" I play how I want mentality. Just today, I had a conjurer level 44 doing Garuda normal mode who is not aware White Mage job exist... needless to say vote abandon was soon commenced since the healer could not save himself/herself or the party.

Also got a scholar who has no idea how to heal as scholar on same Garuda fight, vote abandon again lol. And another paladin on Dzaemel Darkhold who only unlock level 30 quest, so no Shield Oath and cannot hold a damn hate - I had to use Titan throughout the dungeons. He also not aware about level 45 quest exist to give you AF gears... So much for those "let's skip all the quest and open the entire game to me" cuz I am too lazy to read or to do any quest other than FATE grinding and dungeon spam.

If the group was doing that poorly, why didn't you use the Abandon Duty feature? Not only does it get you out of the dungeon penalty free, but it also keeps others from having their time wasted by being automatically added to a failing group. That's precisely why it was added.

I was actually going to vote abandon, but once the summoner left there was no need because I could leave without penalty and those who wanted to stay could. It was literally as I was clicking the leave button that someone popped into the party (it was literally like one second between seeing the full party notification and the loading screen).

I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to lift the individual abandon lockout after vote abandon becomes available at the 15 minute mark(or at least, have it no longer apply if a vote abandon is tried and fails).
