This makes no sense. As long as your party isn't full there is NO penalty for leaving. In this case the OP's group had lost 5 people already so the abandon was completely pointless since anyone else that wanted to leave could do so with no penalty.

IMO a vote abandon should only be possible to initiate in a FULL group. Anything less than that and it offers no real use for those that want to leave whilst those that want to stay are unfairly removed from the instance.
