Thread: Stiffer Penalties for those leaving dungeons!!

Make leaving a duty or walking out the front door of a roulette a 60-90 minute penalty!!

I have been finding that more and more with roulette they walk in the dungeon and if they don't like the dungeon they turn around and just walk out the door not carrying about any penalties they are whm or paladin. It is instant queue for them always..

Watched over the last few days trial roulette tank walk in ew titan then walk out.
got into HM roulette again 10 minutes ago copperbell hardmode the duty commenced whm looked turned around and walked out the door and tank left with him leaving me and other dps standing there.

Also remove vote abandon please. If people want to quit they should take their penalties.

Consider as well requiring a primary stat minimum in addition to ilvl so people stop trying to queue up in their i90 Tank gear when they're really i60 healers and gimping the whole pt.

(IE a WHM must have X amount of MND before he or she can queue for T5, in addition to ilvl)

I believe if you drop fast enough you don't get any penalty at all correct? Maybe just change that.

Had that happen to me the other day.

I haven't had any leave after the first two myth stone bosses in expert roulette yet though *knock on wood*

ha... Perhaps add a checkbox of "I will do the entire dungeon, whichever one I get" to signing up for the DR. Then it blocks leaving and removes vote kick. AFK/not moving = 60 minute penalty once dungeon timer runs out. Yeah, it's extreme... xD But I'm also frustrated with people dropping from dungeons if they don't like the one they get.

As has been mentioned in other threads about this same topic... all we will see is "a party member has withdrawn" over and over and over... while people fish for in progress dungeons.

I'm sorry but that would be crazy. Some parties you get in DF are just hopeless. There's no need to be stuck in there for 90 mins banging your head against the wall.

If you are talking about players leaving while someone is in a cut scene then I'm with you on that. Players can leave while someone is in the cut scene and they receive no penalty.

As for increasing the time penalty to 60-90 mins for leaving after the dungeon has started I'm 100% against that. I've been in some really bad Titan Extreme groups where after 15 mins Vote to abandon is issued but fails because people think there is hope. Why should a player have to suffer because of a few. Also not everyone leaves because the group sucks. 30 min penalty is more than enough.

This is just as wrong as asking for an increase in penalty. This can be abused so damn much. Players can vote kick someone right before the last boss, Or someone could DC before the last boss and not make it back, I'm also against this as well.

I'd rather have a scaling time penality. That way people that abuse the leave feature do get penalized for leaving often but the other players that rarely ever quit don't get a longer penality because other people abused it.

Scaling time penalty that resets per week would be the best idea. It punishes repeat offenders the most.
