Please consider a time penalty for withdrawing from the duty finder!

[Rhime]

The amount of time wasted waiting for the duty finder to find actual players who are committed to their chosen dungeon is getting way out of hand!
I counted 35 withdraws yesterday alone for CT.
SE, please consider a time penalty similar to the one you get when you quit an in progress dungeon for leaving the df. I believe this would discourage trolls and the waiting period.

Yes! And before people say that this would punish people who are withdrawing for legitimate reasons: it wouldn't. If you're withdrawing from DF because you suddenly don't have time to do a dungeon for whatever reason, you will be away anyway, so the timer won't affect you (I will say that this shouldn't be a whole 30 mins, probably).

So withdrawing from a dungeon queue because I'm in the middle of a levequest, and accepting said dungeon queue will cause me to fail the quest and require me to use an additional allowance is "not a legitimate reason"?

So you're telling me that I'm only allowed to Craft, Gather, or Farm fates/mobs while waiting for dungeon queues?

If we were to lessen the wait times, you wouldn't have to do other things while waiting...

DF gives you 45 seconds to respond, within that time it is easy to finish your craft or node, switch to the job you queued on and accept.
If you have just started a synth and haven't done any action on it yet you can cancel it without losing materials.
Same for mob farming, plenty of time to kill your mob and accept, Fates can be abandoned without penalty and while the LEVE argument is valid, you can decide to not do them while waiting for the DF to come up if allowance is that precious.

Yeah lock the tanks and healers out like there's not a shortage already

Great plan!!!

Those players were never joining anyways so let the one's who are present and hitting the join button play...

[Ddmk]

Sorry I don't see it poor plan plain and simple

Sorry I don't see it poor plan plain and simple

See this:

I'd say a lockout that increases with the number of withdraws in a rolling 30 minute period:
1st: No lockout
2nd: 5m
3rd: 10m
4th: 30m

[Axlle10]

not a poor plan at all. 5 minute lockout to finish what your doing would be fine. You accepted the responsibility of knowing that the DF can pop at any time. that is your fault and yours alone for queuing. If you wanna do a leve in-between df go ahead, the exp from the dungeon far outweighs any single leve so i dont know why you would be mad at losing one single leve. And the tanks and healers that join then leave obviously did not want to do the dungeon anyways so you are in no way making them not join up again. And as far as accidents go they can always make it 1 leave within 1 hour = no penalty. 2 leaves within 1 hour = 5 min, 3 = 15 and so on. its rather simple if you think about it.
