Again I'll say it, it would be a loop hole if the person had received their 3 strikes but still play anyway. Sitting on 2/3 and then playing for real is NOT a loophole thats called acting stupid then playing for real.

You just seem to ignore the fact that in party with no joint strikes. Strikes can be pooled. You keep focusing on individual and ignoring the collective. A person could get two strikes, the next player also can get two strikes and so on. Thus a party of two can withdraw from a queue four times,and party of three can withdraw six times and so on. Thus a duty will still have a problem with withdrawals. Also that people can game the system by sharing the penalties thus avoiding the three strike rule.

No, there would be no loop hole. With 2 player parties, each player would get 2 withdraws, so 4 total withdraws from the queue. If they queued as individuals, each would get 2 withdraws and the result is 4 total withdraws from the queue. The number of withdraws as seen by other players (who are the ones "hurt" by this) is no different whatsoever. There's no loophole.

More to the point there's absolutely no reason for a party to game the system to get "more" withdraws on a per player basis. You cannot join in progress as a group, so you can't fish for in progress groups. You can form alliances for ST so there's no reason for different groups to fish for each other like they used to. As shown, even if you're so bored out of your mind that you want to troll other people with all your withdraw attempts, doing it as a group does not get you any more attempts to troll the queue than everybody in the group doing it on their own. So even if you only gave a strike to

Who said anything about fishing for in progress groups?. They could just keep deciding to drop out. They could just ask their mates to drop out for them so they don't get that third strike.
