A LOT of my friends missed the notice about this. Every time someone asks me to party them I have to tell them about the party-wide withdraw strikes, because I don't trust that they know about it. I don't care about the solo withdraw/timeout penalty though. I don't see how the party-wide one encourages group play with strangers. Not only can strangers troll you this way, but they can also do it by mistake because of being uniformed. You have to be super paranoid and make sure every random person and their mother knows about the penalty or risk getting a lockout. lol
