    Stronger punishments for bailing

    The 15 minute punishment just isn't enough. As DPS you routinely have to queue 30-40 minutes to get a party via the DF, and it's all too frequent that some primadonna tank shows up and either:

    a) Takes one look at the team, decides that the party isn't sufficiently over-gearred for his discerning taste

    b) Within 10 seconds of the fight starting, the newbiest member of the party makes a simple mistake (Usually starts healing or attacking before the tank can build a meaningful amount of emnity)

    To which the tank responses by screaming "you all suck" and bailing.

    It doesn't seem fair that he should get only a 15 minute penalty, while the rest of us DPS have to suck down a 30-40 minute "penalty" sitting in the duty finder. Either they need to implement a way for the non-quitters to get reassigned, under-cutting the queue, or - for a sense of poetic justice; take the longest queue time served by the party, and slap that plus an extra 15 minutes onto the leaver. Either way, tanks are already made to feel like virtual royalty, who you bow and scrape before lest they bail, without giving them a means to mete out 30-45 minute punishments to DPS just because their whim dictates.

    And let's be clear here... it is always, without fail - the tank. Never the healer, nor the DPS.
