    I cue almost everyday as a healer/tank 'join party in progress' and get 0/4 as my party and end up at the very beginning of the duty...not a single mob pulled. So your point? People already do this when they use Dungeon Roulette...but at least they are penalized for their behavior.
    No you don't I have dc for 5 min because my internet went out, came back and no timer, because I got vote kicked from the group when i was dced so no lockout.

    Yeah, but if they DID NOT vote kick you, you'd be locked out. So again....DC away. So you got back in because people kicked you NOT because the game actually let you. If you would have re-logged within 5-10 minutes, you'd also still be stuck in that dungeon. (because the game allows a dc'd player to log back into their duty as long as they haven't been kicked/timed out/duty complete)

    But the only way to be sure your 'DC plan' will always work, is to stay logged out for 10 minutes. So still enough of a pain that many will not abuse it. At least, not as many who spam hoping for 2/3 completions now. So you'd sooner or later just say screw it, I'll do the bloody run.

    So again, the party has an option:
    1. Vote Kick the 'Dc'd' player to get a rep. (that player does not get a penalty but I believe we each can only vote kick someone every couple hours...if you are the 2nd+ tank to join, guess what, you're stuck with us until you clear/quit/rage/AFK/DC....and then wait 10 minutes until autokick)
    2. Soldier on and see if they come back (contrary to popular belief, you CAN keep going through a dungeon without a tank esp if just killing trash)
    3. Let your 10 minute timer wear out and it auto-kicks you from dungeon. (you officially 'abandoned' your duty and got stuck with 30 min penalty)
    4. Wait on you. See if you come back. Believe it or not, some people are nice in this game, and believe that people honestly DC and honestly come back.
