Bottomline, people against the penalty and/or against the collective penalty are the people that take others for granted and expect others to wait for them.

I've had someone in my party DC right before the commence screen popped up, and all three of us in the party got the punishment. You're generalizations of the problem ignore the very real scenario I experienced where I got punished because of a disconnect completely unrelated to myself. Not everything is due to the maliciousness and callousness of others. People are legitimately being punished due to no faults of their own and due to problems completely outside of any party members control. You just white knight one particular type of victim while gleefully ignoring that other people are victims here too. You need to think of what other people are going through too, and not just the subset that you keep white knighting for.

You really need to find a way to get over this whole "us vs them" mentality and stop acting like everyone is malicious and callous that isn't in the specific group you white knight for. Statements like

To be more specific it's just your opinion and an incredibly short sighted one at that.
