Lockout Timer for Withdrawals is soo stupid

[TheCurls]

I was just in a pre-made and we queued up, someone withdrew to go to the bathroom, queued up again someone was on wrong class for atma, then queued again and someone withdrew by accident. now the WHOLE PARTY gets a 30m lockout time?

So...SE is to blame for your poor time management skills in the first scenario, your poor attention span in the second, and your poor motor skills in the third?

SE is to blame for an overly harsh solution, yes.

It wasn't necessarily him, it was the people he partied with. Him getting penalized for their mistakes or carelessness is highly unnecessary. Groups don't have any motive to "fish" for anything. They can't join in progress.

No, but groups can still mess with people. Use the ready check feature or find something else to do for 30 minutes.

They *COULD*, but I severely doubt very many actually did it, or would do it. They don't get to see those people who they're harassing, sounds like it would take a lot of *fun* out of the whole thing. Not to mention messing with people is harassment and if they can track trades for RMT sales, it should be painfully easy for SE to track groups "messing" with people, flag them for investigation have a GM take 5 seconds to look at their mass withdrawl behavior and put them in timeout. Would curb that sort of thing real fast.

Even if they couldn't be bothered to track the above and there really were legions of trolls who band together to grief people even though they have no idea who they're griefing, they could curb *that* sort of behavior by a much shorter timeout with a shorter 3 strikes reset.

This is a non issue.

I'm loving this feature. No more instant queues turning into a 20 min queue cause some asshat missed his queue.

one person missing their queue did not turn an instant queue into 20 minutes. It was more than likely repetitive withdrawls by those in a solo queue fishing for in progress runs.
