    I agree you can just leave, as irritating as it may be to waste that much time only to waste more, but that's not what I was addressing. I was addressing the fact that someone said OP was problematic for wanting to leave after 6 wipes in the first place.

    It wouldn't be if he just "leaves", in fact many are saying he should just do exactly that. The problematic part is he claim those 6 wipes should be a license to leave without incurring a penalty.

    Not about the penalty or lack there of, but the wanting to leave in general. It's literally two pages back. So yes, someone did say that wanting to leave in that situation was a problem.
    That's because it is a problem. When you abandon a duty, you inconvenience the players you leave behind and they have to wait for a replacement in order to continue the duty. The penalty is in place in order to de-incentivize leaving the duty when things aren't going their way. The entire group suffers as a result of those six wipes, not just the OP. His suggestion on not incurring a penalty after a certain number of wipes, and another posters suggestion on not getting it after a certain amount of time has passed is irrelevant because you are bound by the conditions of the duty (timer, ilv, objectives, number of players etc.)

    By abandoning a duty, you are effectively stating that your time is more important than everyone else's. This does not include those who have a RL situation come up and need to leave the duty in order to take care of it. That's not the case here though, and a 30min penalty would be redundant in that case. The OP clearly wants to leave and immediately try again with a fresh set of players because the current group are not performing to his standards.
