30 Minute Lockout for Leaving Roulette's isn't Working as Intended.

People are jerks, there's your problem.

I highly doubt the majority of droppers are doing it just to troll. They're doing it for practical reasons. As such, there is an equally pragmatic solution. And, it's not punishing them.

But you are just proving my point. Your perspective is that these people are jerks so you have to retaliate. That's not how you fix a problem. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, two wrongs don't make a right, etc.

If you have an emergency, your biggest concern will be "Oh, shoot, I took a penalty from the Duty Finder" ? Seriously ?

Losing connexion doesn't put you out of a duty. Being kicked doesn't give you any penalty. Have you read what I wrote ?

The point is that when someone has an emergency, it doesn't need to be some life altering disaster. And, it might not even take 30 minutes to deal with (or however long you're proposing to extend the penalty to). Sometimes I will get a work related phone call. I would rather drop group than force them to wait an indefinite amount of time. Maybe the phone call is 5 minutes. Maybe it turns into a series of phone calls that lasts a few hours. As for the connection issues, sometimes when you zone in you will notice yourself spiking or repeatedly disconnecting. Many will just apologize and drop group so that they can find someone else. Why should that group need to wait to vote kick just to avoid the penalty?

Are you seriously arguing that there is never a genuine situation where a person has to drop group?
