Lock out is to heavy handed

Uses ad homim attack, and prevents further discussion... This thread is over folks

Snip

Baseless Ad Hominems, obvious bias toward one side of the situation (the one against Square Enix of course) and prevents further discussion by ignoring people instead of poiting the flaws in their arguments. Good job at destroying your own credibility!

...no not everyone who accidentally missed their queue and uses their strikes "deserves" the penalty, stop looking at this with a black and white perspective.

You don't accident 3 times in a row over and over day-in and day-out. If you over sample statistical phenomenon, that would be a clear signal admist all the noise out there. It doesn't have to be black and white, but the signal to noise ratio be clear and obvious and bright as day for everyone to see. And in this case that signals means you are accidental troll at best or worst yet an intentional troll for reals. In either case a player like that is the "toxic player" and deserves the penalty.

Also it doesn't matter if by chance or some contrived scenario that players need to withdraw 3 times in a row (with so called legitimate reasons), if you are not going to be able to legitimately dedicate time to the DF, then do NOT use it. That would be common courtesy to the rest of the players out there.
