Locked out of the Duty Finder.

[Darkoon]

I was just locked out of the Duty Finder after a party member withdrew from the duty as soon as the duty was found.

I cannot control if another party member withdraws or not.
I should not be penalized for the actions taken by a different party member!

This feature needs to be removed at once as I am sure that I am not the only innocent victim that has been locked out of the Duty Finder by something that one cannot control!

Wait. You were locked out by someone else's withdrawal? Did you check if you were able to use it without the player in your party?

Shouldn't have placed your duty in their hands.

One of many SE's oversights and counting. It'll probably get hot fixed--or not.

Forgive me but sounds dubious, you only also showed you are locked out in the screenshot not the circumstances in which occurred so we are left taking your word for how events unfolded and how it came about. Was it a full premade party by the way?

Unfortunately, the reality of it is that if you could withdraw without penalty in a group, thne you can bet that some people would group up as a Tank+Heal and then queue/withdraw all day long.

Feel free to try it out yourself, join a party, have the party leader sign up for a Duty, have someone withdraw, enjoy your lockout.

What you are saying is, one wolf is eating the farmers sheep, so in order to stop this, we need to wipe out the entire popluation, rendering the wolves extinct. I like how you think.

It makes sense actually, since it's your party constantly queuing and withdrawing - You're still trying to queue up with other people, it's a system basically to deter wasting people's time with that. Since you're in a party together it makes sense you all get the penalty since it was the party that withdrew.

This feature needs to stay, if anything it needs to be a bit more strict than it already is. It's done much more good than it has harm.

Incorrect - A Party (XIV) is akin to a Pack of Wolves (your example) therefore, the farmer would have to kill the pack of wolves.
