    Suggestion: DF lockout

    Hellos, 1st time posting here.

    I've been kinda annoyed about tanks leaving DF immediately after long queue times, and thought I suggest some ideas for changes.

    Leaving a DF will lock you out for the total amount of time of everyone remaining in the party had to wait for except for your own queue time reduced by the percentage the total amount of bosses remaining in the dungeon.

    I feel that anyone who leaves early should endure the total time their party members had to wait for. Vote Abandon would not have the 15 minute requirement as well. This should give incentive to attempt the dungeon (in the very least), or vote abandon if you really don't want to run it. If a DPS leaves, then their lockout time wouldn't be as long as people who spend less time in queue.

    I'd say just lock them out for the day. Same for someone who bails in the middle of the duty. Extreme? Yes. Sometimes I think SE needs to be heavier handed. DF Roulette is just that, a random spin.

    But what about those who have to drop group if something unexpected popped up in RL? Dontcha think that's kinda harsh?
    I get there are jerkwads out there, don't get me wrong. But, like I said before up there. There are situations that, while we DON'T want to drop, we have to.

    There is a DF lockout already in place for those who leave first. You're unable to sign up in the DF for 30 minutes. A time which is considerably longer than the combined queue times I have when I'd sign up as healer or DPS anyway.

    Request vote kick? Thats the hard thing, determining who is being a jerk. I am not suggesting everybody that drops gets punished. Maybe something that detects someone queing up and withdrawing "too many times"? Dismiss option for players that need to leave? Too many dismisses in a certain time frame and you get locked out?
