Why do you torture us with superfluous restrictions?

heres a more explicit example of what your suggestion would result in:

1. Queue up for a savage raid. It doesn't go so you decide to drop leaving the party in the lurch to find a replacement or disband to start over their potentially long queue
2. You can immediately queue up for a trial. You get Nabriales or Nidhogg so you decide to bail before it even starts. A second party is left in the lurch yet again
3. You then immediately queue up for PotD
4. By the time this is done the 30 minute timer is up for the savage raid queue again so you rinse and repeat with no downtime for you whatsoever, but youe managed to inconvenience 14 other people in the meantime

Ok thank you for putting it into perspective like that for me. It does make sense to preserve the integrity of the system as a whole. Its just unfortunate for those stuck in a similar scenario as I was, but that happening in flux must be a very small probability compared to que abuse.

That's pretty much it. Even with the penalty, lots of people drop party upon entering content they dislike, because they can still do non-instanced content for the next 30 min. If it ONLY locked them out of rf/df/PotD/pre-made pf parties or whatever specificway was used to sign up, the penalty wouldn't be much of a penalty at all.

At the same time, your situation sucked (and I hope you reported them for that behaviour), and I can see how frustrating that must have been. But that's why the system is still fairly forgiving - you don't get locked out of ALL content for 30 min; you can still do dailies, Fates, hunts, squadrons and all kinds of other overworld content. So honestly, I think the system is fairly balanced right now between not encouraging abuse while also not making it too unbearable of you HAVE to leave for some reason
