So now we have people wasting each other's time on purpose by leaving early, and then other people wasting everyone's time by continuing to wipe on the first or second phase since they're not being able to get past that point of the encounter because they're shuffled back in with people with even less experience than themselves. It's like a treadmill of stupid, constantly drawing in fresh derp, until you just give up and disregard the DF altogether. Everybody ends up wasting everyone's time. That's obviously broken from multiple angles.
