    Suggestion to curb Duty Finder trolls

    Hello. Today while queueing for Brayflox I have had to endure 20~30 minutes of people withdrawing as soon as the duty is ready to commence.

    This is very typical thing to see in Crystal Tower queues but Brayflox? Really how many people could be having that many second thoughts?

    My Chat box in game is literally filled with close to 100 instances of the following text:
    A party member has withdrawn from the duty.
    Finding new member.
    I am going out on a limb saying this but I am suspecting people are abusing the Duty Finder by queuing in and withdrawing the moment the duty is ready to commence just for the sake of griefing others with long queue times.

    My suggestion is escalating temp bans for those that withdraw from the Duty Finder before it commences.

    The bans would escalate like so:

    1 Withdraw -- Maybe they did have second thoughts. No ban.
    > 1 -- 1 min ban from Duty Finder.
    > 5 -- 5 min ban from Duty Finder.
    ... and so on.

    To add to the opening post:

    The # of times you have withdrawn from a duty would be reset as well every 8hrs.

    The only thing they need to get rid of to permanently stop this problem is to remove completely the Progress #/#. Before 2.1 it stated 3/4 or whatever, now it says Progress 0/1. The whole reason they leave is because they dont see that sign on the popup. If they remove that it is Completely up to chance and they wont have a reason to leave other than to grief. in which case if they removed the progress line completely the only reasons they would have to leave is wrong Q or to be trolls. Then your implementations would make perfect sense.
