How the DF 'Withdraw' penalty SHOULD have been done

So far it appears to me this change is only annoying the people who were farming for in-progress runs. Working as intended, I would presume.

I actually thought the lockout would have been like OP mentioned, at least 5 mins and increasing (excluding the decay over time, a daily reset is just fine), with a 30 mins lockout you can see people going offline for 5 mins once they enter the instance to get vote-kicked, or just afk there.

That's the point. Eventually people will stop doing this, because it would take less time to just complete the instance and get what they came for (loot, gil, roulette bonuses, Light, whatever) than it would be to act entitled and waste their time, and their party's patience.
