Faking disconnects

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Which is why I noted my own experience, and stayed out of the DF until my connection problems were fixed.

This isn't always so cut and draw. Nvidia currently has an issue with its drivers that causes Directx11 errors constantly yet refuses to acknowledge them. I spent the last month or so with entirely unpredictable disconnects. If there were a penalty in place, I could very well screw my raid group since we can't queue even as a pre-made if someone in the party has a penalty. Under your purposal, I'm either forced to downgrade to Directx9, buy a whole new GPU or cross my fingers and hope I don't disconnect. It's that assumption of guilt that makes such a system wholly unfair just to punish the occasional bad apple.

If you want to leave so bad, you can eat a penalty. No one is stopping you, so don't harass people about it.

This is where SE needs to do a better job allowing GMs to dish out punishment. You wouldn't see people demanding a kick if they knew it was a guaranteed ticket to no DF access for 24 hours. It's only an issue because they don't enforce penalties consistently.
