Please remove the lockout for leaving instances.

And...there isn't too many. If there was "too many" it wouldn't be a game anymore. There are restrictions in place for a lot of things, and it's for one reason: human nature. SE knows how people can be, so they try to cut down on negative behavior as best they can. Sometimes we don't like their methods, but they put such things in place to keep a balance of sorts.

Well, yeah, obviously SE has the best interests of the community when implementing these methods. If you read my original post in full though, you will say I make the observation that the now dated method of blanket lockouts doesn't line up with SE's more recent stance to not get involved in party politics and such.

Trying to 'cut down on negative behaviour', as you put it, by forcing someone to remain in a dungeon when they no longer want to be (for whatever reason) is not the most effective method. Allowing them to leave and the party to get a replacement will usually yield better results.
