DF withdrawl has become the new "Fatigue" system

[RakaMaimhov]

FFXIV 1.0 originally had the notorious fatigue system *snip*

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww. No. What? How is being penalized for trolling the duty finder queue even remotely like the fatigue system? Just. No.

It takes like a whole 2 seconds -okay maybe more like 15 for slower people- of thinking ahead of time to plan carefully and actually pay attention and queue for a duty when you actually have the time to devote to running the duty.

A 30 minute time out is a SMALL price to pay for the INCONVENIENCE and INCONSIDERATION caused by selfishly trolling the duty finder queue for in progress or withdrawing from a duty for umpteen number of tiny excuses.

In any situation where it's important to leave the duty (emergencies, whatnot) thirty minutes is probably how long it would take to deal with real life business anyway.

A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PLAYERS asked for this lockout to be put into place. SE took a very long time to implement it. I feel they carefully considered things (unlike those who withdraw from duties flippantly) before they implemented the very lenient 30 minute lockout after 3 strikes.

BE GRATEFUL IT'S NOT STRICTER. If it were up to me, it would be 2 hours.
