4. New thread on forums complaining about number 3.
LOL number 3 is how you get around the lock out. I didn't want to say it, But even if they did add a 24hr lock out and we force DC ourselves SE cannot add a 24hr lockout on us there are just to many connection issues that can happen for them to say "OH you 90k well you still have 24hr lockout" People would Rage so hard.

In short OP there will never ever be a 24hr lockout in a MMO for leaving a group.
