Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

You agree with a system to have direct invites. If that happened that I would bypass the groups I am not looking for. Same as me trying to help a friend, or me offering to swap from dps to a tank/healer so the current group can continue instead of starting over at the end of the line, because I am not blind to long queue times. We want the same thing and it is just splitting hairs with the same end result, except the groups that I withdraw never know that I "withdrew" and passed them up with a direct invite to the dungeon.

Yes I agree an invite function would be good but until that time with the current system people who keep ditching groups and ditching queues should be punished, we have the punishment for those who ditch in progress via a 30 minute lockout and now we have a punishment for those who keep trolling, abusing or ditching the groups when the window pops up to start a run.

These punishments are good incentive to stop people doing those things which annoy a vast amount of people. If they add an invite function, great but this latest punishment is merely a step in the right direction to solve a multitude of problems...what you do adds to this problem even if unintentionally, this latest measure does not solve all the problems and solution to your specific aspect which currently adds to the problem this is trying to deter may come about further down the line. I consider it one step of many they will probably introduce over time.

The current amount of time locked out from withdrawing constantly over and over is debatable but what is not as far as I am concerned is the need for a lockout punishment for such actions and a three strike rule seems fair amount of chances to stop abusing, trolling or annoying the other members of groups.

Just to clarify, I have withdrawn before, if the in progress does not match the friend I am looking for. Or, the rare "Oh crap I forgot to uncheck that dungeon". But I have never gone into a dungeon, seen I got the wrong group, and left. I stuck it out. I agree that this is a step in the right direction, but it seems like it could turn out to be a poor Band-Aid slapped onto a poorly conceived and executed system.
