1 strike for missing a duty? >.> Seems Harsh Yoshi

Missing a duty queue pop in a party (somebody else in your party) will still net you and everybody else in the party a strike.

Is this really confirmed? I thought only the person who failed to confirm would get the strike.

Unless it was changed recently, I do remember in SB I got a strike when somebody in the party was AFK.
That's why we do ready check before queuing up.

Yes. If anyone you are currently partied with misses queue, you get the strike as well. Note that this only applies when signing up for duty as a partial party - if you are grouped with four (for a Light party instance) or eight (for a Full party instance) and someone misses, no one gets a strike.

Basically, as long as you're not inconveniencing a stranger you or your group were matched with, you're fine. If a stranger is inconvenienced, everyone in the party that did the inconveniencing gets a strike.

Bottom line, as was said, don't queue as a partial party unless you're sure everyone in your partial party is ready. And if you check first, and they miss anyway, chew 'em out good. XD

Pretty sure it is the whole group - unless it is a full 4 person or 8 person pre-formed, in which case there is no penalty.

There is also no penalty for withdrawing for the queue prior to the duty pop, regardless of whether you are solo or with a group.
