    Lol ofc I don't, but what am I going to do? I'm not the judge as to deciding on why someone leaves is justified - ofc it sucks and like I said, it's lame when it happens, but thankfully SE has recourse for that: we get new party member(s), they recieve a penalty. I'm ok with that, even if I have to wait 1-3mins for the party to fill back up. I'm not about to force someone to go through an entire dungeon if they don't want to, even if it's simply down to "I hate this dungeon so I wanna leave". They receive consequences, so whatever. You're que'ing into a dungeon with strangers so honestly of course they won't care about your time more than theirs, more often than not.

    All I can do is just abide by my own play style - I enjoy the game when I know other people in my party are good and vibing. I don't abandon duties, I try to be courteous and give them heads up on stuff. I've been trying out healer lately and just simply leaving a "hey I'm a new healer pls be gentle" has made my parties 100x more understanding on me being slow. But not everyone enjoys playing that way and that's ok. Some people are more individualistic, some people are not. That's just the way of a MMO

    Yeah, of course, nobody is saying there can't be reasons why people need to suddenly leave. I said as much myself, have a system where the more times you abandon a duty the bigger the penalty you get each time and to let it slowly decay. If you only need to leave for important reasons every once in a while you don't get a harsh penalty, but if you're the kind of person who keeps leaving when they don't like their roulette then yeah, you should get a bigger penalty.

    Depending on the role who leaves it could be more than 1-3 mins. There's a reason why your dps queues can take longer than 15 mins.

    Nobody pointed a gun at them to queue for a ROULETTE.

    I'm sorry, but I can't endorse a "playstyle" based on abandoning my party just because I'm a little princess who didn't like their lot. This is a game, sure, but think for a moment on the other people playing with you.

    ...Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Meh, I think the penalty is ok where it is. If there was an additional penalty I think the only extension I would be okay with is just having the roulette reward be claimed regardless if they completed or abandoned it. Like LittleImp said above, I think anything harsher (even with the suggestion of having the roulette reward poof) would just encourage even worse behavior and at that point if people wanna leave, just let em go and let them waste for their 30 minutes doing whatever else.

    The time it refills is just anecdotal ofc, but I don't think I waited for than maybeee like 3-4 mins max but I guess it's just dependent on the DC and the time of day.

    And you do you, man. I just take the road of "who cares go next" because at the end of the day, it's out of my control lol. They don't have to care about other people, that's just how it is, unfortunate as it might be for everyone else and is usually the sentiment with most MMOs. If you don't want to endorse that sort of stuff, invite your friends to mitigate the amount of people that could potentially leave.

    And like I said, your play style=/=my play style. People play selfish, all you can do is just accept that when it's not a reportable offense.
