    disconnecting in the first 5 minutes of a duty should give you the 30m penalty

    i figure if you disconnect in the first 5 minutes of the dungeon and never reconnect that either:
    a) your internet is so bad right now that you wouldn't be able to play for the next 30 minutes anyway
    or b) you're gaming the system to get vote kicked for being """"""""offline""""""" so you don't have to do the duty in question.

    thanks for reading friends :^)

    I disagree. I live in a small town with the worst internet I've had so it kicks me out nearly every time I zone or get into a dungeon. I'm usually able to come back pretty quickly though, meaning within a couple of minutes at the most. It's still playable and I don't believe someone should get kicked out because a drop in the connection. It happens.

    That being said, I don't really plan on picking up this game again until I've got something better than this old Asus laptop and terrible internet to play with.

    the other 3 can boot for offline after 5 minutes anyway so what's your criteria for "never reconnect"?

    There's other reasons to get disconnected chief. I had a power outage Sunday while a few minutes into a dungeon.. was that my fault power went out in the whole neighborhood? No.. was my internet the blame? No. so why should I have gotten a penalty???

    You realize that people:

    - Have connection issues
    - Internet might go off
    - Router might need to be restarted
    - Light might go out
    - The game says you are still logged in when trying to reconnect, hence will take even more time to enter the game

    So people should be penalized from something that's not their fault?

    I bet you don't even DPS at all as Healer to speed things up and you can't wait 5-10m for people to come back.

    sure your other points might be valid, but why do you auto-assume i don't dps when i heal lol. why are you so defensive for no reason? relax my dude.

    i think about doing this a lot but ultimately i don't want to blow 10 minutes to laugh at a guy for a bit.

    For days. They COULD implement a 'force log in' deal but that could create people tryna hack inside your character.
    I guess they could go the extra mile and add a Pin code thing so you can force log in no problem.

    We don't need to punish people for every single little thing in this game also.
    Net problems do happen. Welcome to the world lol.
