Request: Separating combat duty penalty from non-combat ones

[JohnSpawnVFX]

I mean, it is a punishment for abandoning a group of people trying to clear an instance. If people could just leave then go do Diadem for 30mins or go do GS instance activities to kill the time, it wouldn't be as effective a punishment.

I doubt it can be de-coupled anyway, nor would they want to de-couple it, given all instance-based reservation systems use the DF coding, and the punishment specifically prevents the player from executing DF system functions, while doubling as extra incentive to make people think twice about leaving. Next time you think about leaving an instance, make sure you have something planned for the next 30 minutes that doesn't involve the 95% of content that's behind instances, or just slug it out.

It's not meant to be a slap on the wrist punishment, it's just meant to deter pick-and-choosing on roulettes.

Potayto potahto. You still abandoned 3/7/23 other players in an instance, and depending on time of day & role, could make the instance unclearable/immensely unlikely to get a replacement (has happened to me multiple times since I play in very late evenings), so it doubles as a means to deter pick and choosing roulettes, but also to abandoning an instance in general.
