Missed ONE >>1<< Duty Finder commence, and now I have 30 minutes penalty.

Not exactly sure what you're getting at. Penalizing the afk guy is a lot more fair than the entire group. As I said, group wide penalties discourages play with strangers.

My idea is just an idea. There's a million more ways they could have gone about it. Including giving the party lead the penalty instead of the group, since he's the one who went ahead and put people in when they weren't ready.

I'm sorry, I mean if an individual withdraws from a group, I don't believe that you need to give the individual a harsher penalty than if they withdrew from an individual because it's not any worse in terms of people having to wait around.

But I do agree with you that giving the whole party a strike does discourage group play with strangers, which is not good for the game. Only the person that hit withdraw should get a penalty, whatever that penalty happens to be.

Ah, yeah. The harsher strike idea was just my way of trying to stop people from "trading strikes". Which I honestly don't care about, but other people seem to be worried about it.
