Lockout Timer for Withdrawals is soo stupid

[TheCurls]

last night we had someone d/c and since he went offline instead of hitting confirm one of the party members got the 30 minute lockout. tell me again why this system was necessary instead of people just dealing with the extra few minutes waiting on a non troll?

So that's 1 of your 3 withdrawals. What about the other two?

I personally don't have an issue with the new DF penalty system at all because I've never had an issue with it nor have I had an issue like the one you experienced. But I can definitely see how that can be frustrating and annoying. Perhaps they'll hotfix it in future patch so that only the individual who withdrew gets the penalty and not the entire group. That seems quite absurd actually that they'd punish everyone.

Peps that boo hoo about the lock out are the people that leave so just shut up imo and deal with times like we do or make a tank

It's only a penalty for a full party if you are queueing for the 24 man raids or for Frontlines. Per Camote, 4 man and 8 man parties/dungeons/trials in which you go in with a full party will not incur the withdraw penalty.

You know the easiest way not to get the penalty? Don't withdraw. Don't queue until you're 100% ready. It's not rocket science.

If your going with a complete party, then be 100% sure your ready to queue for a dungeon/raid. The new anti-withdrawel system is working like a charm, I have not seen any trolling or spamming by people who join then leave the queue.

It sounds like you need to be more careful with who you queue with.

Which shouldn't be the case, SE designs a penalty system that can easily be abused. The penalty should only be going to the person withdrawing and not the entire party. Or you know.. just drop the whole thing and again just give the in prog fishers what they want and put in an "In Progress Only" option and none of this nonsense will occur. The whole reason FOR this change was due to the fishing anyway, but occasional afkers and folks accidentally hitting decline, or in a group where someone else hits withdraw get punished as well. Clearly a broken system that needs to be fixed. I am not a fisher mind you and get just as frustrated with constant withdraws but I seem to be only one of a few people who want to a solution that doesn't penalize those who are not abusing the queue system.
