    If they penalize people for withdrawing and don't also penalize waiting the timer out, people will do that instead and it will be all the more frustrating waiting 45 seconds every time to not get in.

    If they penalize people for withdrawing and penalize them for waiting the timer out as well, you're forcing DD jobs to sit patiently at their PC for up to hours waiting under penalty if they miss the 45-second window. God forbid they have to go to the bathroom.

    So just up the respond timer to 1 minute.

    Also they can turn the sound up while they go potty.

    Timing out is equal to a system-forced withdrawal, both should be penalized.

    Not saying first-time withdrawal penalty either, perhaps after X consecutive withdrawals within Y minutes.

    This will never happen. Something about it being a ridiculous suggestion.

    A short lockout would be fine. 1-2min would generally be enough, and is FAR from detrimental to the legit player, including DPS. Whenever I AFK while in queue, be it to poop or otherwise, and miss it, I'd say it's almost always far beyond 1-2min from missing the queue pop.
