DF Penalty from withdrawing from a party in progress should be removed

[Alistaire]

Used to go healer but now i want my second main's weapon, am I not allowed to ? ^^"

You know the weapon you get has nothing to do with the job you go on right?

Although they are wrong about "queue times would be shorter if" because potd queue ignores roles.

The NPC offers you a weapon based on your current job. So you could do the dungeon for WHM the entire time and get the weapon as a PLD if you wanted.

And my interjection on queue times was for content in general, not specifically for this dungeon. So many people want to do stuff as DPS.

Nope, I remember when we didn't have the penalty and it was a mess with scooters and trolls.

Hell I would support a harder penalty.

Only time i'd want to see it removed is if i'm specifically trying to get into a certain duty because a friend has asked for help on the last boss and the df keeps queing me into one at the first boss. or even a fresh party entirely.

i'm not queueing for tomes or rewards or anything such i'm queiing solely to try and help that friend finish his duty so when it tries to put me in a different group kinda defeats the purpose.

keep hoping they'll one day allow an invite feature so the friend that needs help can invite me specifically to that duty. instead of taking the duty finder gamble and risk finding myself in a different group who then get annoyed cos I leave.

DF penalty came ingame because people left in-progress parties.
Why should SE now remove it for them?

[SinisterJointss]

I must admit, I'm of the opposite feeling. Personally, I believe the penalty isn't enough (it should be say a 72 hour penalty, no, I'm serious). Oh and this includes getting kicked from a duty (will be lifted if you can prove to the GMs that you were kicked through no fault of your own). And if you go offline for a decent period of time in duty it auto-kicks and applies the penalty. Maybe also make it so if you go offline multiple times, after going offline for the n'th time, auto-kicked and penalised. Same for if you're AFK for a period of time. As well as it being made clear to the group through the message system if someone is refusing to engage in the battle with mobs, you should kick them for AFK.

wth is this, Jail Time Online? God man you need a hug

Fair enough.

And wait, was this something changed in 3.4? Because there is (or at least was) no penalty if you ditch a party you joined in progress.

if the party you join isn't full you don't get the penalty for leaving.
if it's full you do.

often why soon as one person bails and eats the penalty other bail because if they get out before someone joins and fills it they don't eat the penalty

No the penalty does not need to be removed you just need to uncheck the in progress box if you have it marked.
