    PLEASE notify us of the person who motions to abandon the duty.

    Please. And i'm not even talking about the abandon spammers, which are also a good reason for this. It's just really, really annoying to lose a single run and have some guy spend every other moment ruining morale of the party by spamming to abandon.

    The person who does it almost NEVER admits to doing it, and on the off chance they do, it's almost always a Tank or Healer. Naturally, since they don't have to wait 6 years to retry the duty.

    I'd much rather just kick the person who wants to leave then have to suffer abandoning duties that would be just fine if people would quit expecting to be in a carry party.

    As much as I would like to know this as well purely so I can kick idiots that just spam, it would lead to abuse of anyone outside of FC groups, even when the vote to abandon is valid.

    Vote Abandon still works on majority vote. There's nothing to abuse. If one person leaves then everyone else is allowed to quit penalty free.

    If you're motioning to abandon the duty, your main goal is leaving the duty anyway. If you get kicked, you still get what you wanted. And releasing the name of who started the motion doesn't give the others enough knowledge to eliminate people who disagree.

    Not happening, being that this is a Japanese-developed game and the Japanese are extremely uncomfortable with anything that impairs group cohesion. Would be nice though.

    Vote Abandon is probably the single most anti-cohesive thing in the game.

    It lets you anonymously signal to your entire team that you think the mission is a lost cause...with no limitations....with the intent of breaking the group up.

    And that's precisely why you'll never see your proposal introduced.

    Yes, let's single out the individuals who want to quit a failed run simply so we can all point fingers and bulk out our blacklists... I don't think.

    The very reason it's anonymous is to prevent people being singled out. Removing this would lead to all sorts of verbal abuse hurled at anyone who votes for abandonment, possibly even a permanent blacklist. Just deal with the frustration and get over it. If they really want to quit, chances are they'll do it anyway when the vote fails.

    Is there no CD for it? Or was that for kicking a player only?

    Yep, no cooldown. They can spam it endlessly, and there's no way to know who to report for the harassment.

    Maybe it wouldn't matter if there was an alliance-wide cooldown of like 10 minutes or so.

    Nothing wrong with abandoning when the majority votes YES.

    However, spamming it when it failed to pass vote is really just harassment.
    There is a cooldown but it's extremely short.
