Harsher Penalties for Tanks who Immediately Leave Duty Finder

[Downdrop]

Tanks get instantly queued and have no incentive to stay in a party when a dungeon with peculiar mechanics is randomly selected. Many, many, many times I have specifically queued for a dungeon to have the tank immediately leave when he or she sees which dungeon it is (I have seen this mostly happen in The Stone Vigil and Pharos Sirius).

Since all players have the option to Withdraw from duty finder if they are not ready, to Commence the duty and abandon it without even attempting to play is unacceptable when other members of the party had to wait as long as 45 mins to 1 hour to form the party.

Tanks who abandon the duty immediately should be penalized for much longer then the current time is set to, I would suggest one hour, about the time it took the DPS in the party to wait for the group.

No I prefer harsher penalties for players that refuse to level tanking and healing classes. They need to add a lazy debuff *hairflip*

So... more reasons to not tank in DF? Ok.

You're missing the whole point. The tank is leaving because he or she does not want to do the dungeon that duty finder randomly selected, without even trying to do it at all. Nothing wrong with the group's composition, either the tank simply believes the dungeon is too long or too difficult to pug and therefore simply leaves.

Adding an additional time penalty to abandoning a duty finder group within the first few minutes of the duty is no reason not to tank in DF----unless you're that dude abandoning people.

Nice another thread calling for more restrictions.

I'd wager the only people who have a problem with this are tanks who are abandoning people. You don't find many healers or DPS immediately leaving duty finder dungeons that they've had to wait excessive amounts of time on, no matter how long or difficult others might perceive them to be. They won't want to abandon it without at least seeing if the group knows the encounters and handles themselves accordingly. The problem right now is tanks aren't even waiting that long... they're just simply leaving without even pulling one set of trash.

Like I already said, if you're not already abandoning your duty finder groups then this won't effect you in any way shape or form.

Its really at the point now where they should just shower tanks in exp and offer bonus tomes on all end game content. Unfair? then go level a tank \o/

I never said anything about having a problem with tanks getting extra exp and tomes. In fact that's perfectly fine by me. It's an incentive for them to use duty finder.

if this was implemented you would have to wait longer because the withdrawer would simply feign AFK and let the 1 min timer run out, after all cant really punish someone for running AFK while waiting for a queue

Whatever slows down the tank's ability to ruin groups and waste people's time is fine by me, heh. I think the current timer on voting to abandon or kick is 15 minutes after the dungeon begins.
