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?

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

Great plan!!!

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

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

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

[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.

it is very annoying when DF keeps prompting me to [ok] then displays someone has canceled in half second with more than 10 times in a minute, I think some changes should be made to prevent this.

Players need to be able to withdraw once or twice without penalty, there's hundreds of legitimate reasons why. However, I would be in favor of a penalty if you withdraw a certain number of times within a short span of time. Such as a lockout if you withdraw four times within one minute. I can't think of many scenarios whereas a player would be doing it that frequently and quickly for any other reason than trying to manipulate the system or troll party mates.
