    it's because you were the first person to leave the full party. the rule that is set is that if you are the first person to leave the party (even if everyone else is offline - they are still technically part of the party) you get the penalty. that cannot be changed. system working as intended.
    what you should have done - and i don't know if it would work if you were the only one left is that you should have tried to vote kick someone for being offline or vote abandon.

    I don't think the OP cares about being told "well the system was implemented this way, working as intended" because they probably know that, but they're complaining that the current implementation is bad. It's probably low on SE's list of things to fix, but it makes a lot of sense to not penalize someone for leaving a group when half or more of it's offline.

    he did the wrong thing. he just straight up left a duty without doing the correct thing to avoid the penalty. system is working as intended.

    An issue having a workaround doesn't mean it's not an issue. If he's the only person left in the duty, there's no reason why he should be penalized because he chose to leave the duty through one button instead of another.

    Of course it's working as intended. There's plenty of things that work as intended but are bad ideas for one reason or another.

    It's not a "workaround" when it is something explicitly designed for a purpose. OP goofed. Now he knows.
