Is it bad that I've never actually considered leaving until the duty is done unless it's an emergency? I didn't even consider that other people do this in ST.

I would think you're taking a worse penalty by dropping early, Syrcus isn't that long. Not that I'm on the side of dropping early.

You know who really deserves extra punishment? People that spam the teleporter before the first one is accessed. 30 mins per attempt. Also people who cancel right when the duty pops. I'm sick of getting 10+ cancels because people leave. If it's important, they probably have 30 mins to spare.
