Please remove the lockout for leaving instances.

[KenzieLynch]

I honestly think this particular restriction is completely misjudged.

It's one dimensional to think of it simply as "1 player leaves which makes things difficult for 3 other players, so the majority wins and the individual must be punished". There are so many different social situations that can occur in a dungeon / trial and many reasons for a player wanting or needing to leave. I honestly think if SE could witness and decide the cases 1 by 1 then a lot of the time they would agree the player should be able to leave without punishment.

In my view, by auto-restricting a player for leaving an instance, SE are no longer in line with their more recent policy of not getting involved with party politics and only banning for clear offences such as harassment. To give just one of many examples of when the current method is unfair: What if I enter a dungeon or trial where the other 3 or 7 members have entered as a party, and they are being completely irrational or trolling? Should I really be punished for leaving just because they are the majority?

SE's most recent stance on dealing with reports is correct IMO, and to continue down this line they must remain completely neutral and therefor should remove the lockout on leaving instances and continue to allow others to join in progress. No one needs to suffer.
