Need harsher penalties.

[Rasikko]

OP hasn't said anything in six pages. Gee, I wonder why.

Received a harsh penalty.

The current penalties are more than adequate, I can maybe agree with upping the duty finder penalty (Not to 48 hours) if someone leaves, but I cannot agree to the Party Finder penalties you propose.

What's to stop someone from listing a duty incorrectly (ie: listing as clear, but being prog) and holding the party hostage to their penalty?

Party finder is also used for things other than duties, at least on my data center, it is filled with JP Roleplay events, concerts, EN roleplay cafes, crafters offering discounted crafts, FC and Linkshell/Community ads.

People are far too flippant, and the game is far too easy.

Penalties need to be significantly more strict.

**leave unchanged the 3 times failure to accept queue penalty. That one works perfectly fine, and can easily be user error. The below listed are nigh unacceptable behavior.**


-Leaving a party finder after joining.

30 minute duty finder/party finder penalty (this would be a new penalty to discourage party finder trolls.)

-Leaving a duty after initiating accept

1 hour duty finder penalty (this is an existing penalty but would be doubled in penalty time.)

-Leaving 3 duties within a 1 week period

48 hour Duty finder/party finder ban (this would be a new penalty to discourage flippant people.)



No one is going to agree, but really there is no reason these numbers shouldnt be doubled or even tripled. "The likelihood of someone accidentally falling into these guidelines is slim to none."

If people are expected to read warnings such as buying the right equipment and dealing with 1 time item restores or, sending the wrong mog station items to the wrong character, or accidentally making someone master of a Free Company and them stealing everything, then you should also be equally responsible for reading the correct party finder, and queue'ing and entering the correct duties.

Have you considered that someone might leave because they have an emergency

the emergency was FFXVI.

Ah yes the days when nobody could get into Syrcus Tower because tanks would just join and leave over and over again for hours on end.
Penalties are needed, however they don't need to be harsher at all, imo

I would disagree with this on 1 specific case.

Roulettes.

IMO you should not be joining any roulette unless you are willing to complete any duty that rolls from that roulette and bailing out on a roulette should lock the person out of queueing roulettes for 24 hours.

TBH though it seems like heavy handed and extreme measures are likely required if anyone ever expects the frequency and degree of toxic behavior to decrease. That goes for society in general. It doesn't just apply to video games. People just don't notice it as much IRL.
