Can we get a penalty for healers and tanks leaving Castrum?

Close. Looking at their overall pattern of posts on this topic today, they took a 2 hour penalty because they wanted to earn a ton of exp while afk from the game. Do we need more proof that this is abuse? Delete MSQ roulette, make these dungeons solo duties, end the abuse.

Oh yes this is abuse! A GM can go back in a players logs and see if this is a reoccurring thing each day on a player's account or if it's occasional happenstance. It's disrupting others ability to play the game as intended. I've seen it cause wipes twice this week. Players thinking they're in a "Full Party" but the tank decides to ditch. If this isn't against ToS, it damn well should be. It's happening more and more frequently these days and SE needs to look into fixing this problem before it gets worse. Yet another loophole in the system where certain players try to weasel their way through at the cost to others. The lockout timer isn't enough. Please fix it!

This, I just got done with 4 penalties in a row to avoid castrum, until they equalize xp I’ll keep eating penalties an catch up on shows or play other games until I get prae. The tanks/healers I group with on my dps do the same thing, why waste time at castrum for such a pathetic amount of xp.

My dude, while I agree Castrum is terrible. You're far better off spamming dungeons at this point. In fact, 81+ dungeons give better EXP than every single roulette, including MSQ. Leveling only surpasses them if you get 71+. The buff they slapped onto them in 6.05 is kinda nutty. I haven't tested lower level dungeons yet but in general, roulette EXP is not all that good.

You can't force someone to stay if they don't want to. Consider the alternative; they now punish players for leaving Castrum. Instead of simply backing out, more people will barely participate; pressing just enough buttons to seem active to avoid getting kicked. Furthermore, if you're wiping to Castrum, it has absolutely nothing to do with people leaving but just mindlessly not paying attention. You can do the whole thing with a team of four DPS. We out-scale it by an order of magnitude.

The "fix" SE should be doing is properly scaling the EXP so Castrum isn't a complete loss. Punishing people for leaving will just cause them not to queue at all or half-AFK.

There's a difference in leaving a duty occasionally and leaving it persistently day after day. One is circumstance, the other is pure self-serving. People barely participated before, why do you make it sound like it would become a new thing? Castrum is a much shorter run than Prae thus why you get less experience. Roulette is "random", people need to suck it up and deal with the cards they're dealt. If anything they need to take the two out of roulette all together if they did anything. Problem solved
