    Please remove withdrawl penalty for Frontlines

    While the withdrawl penalty is useful in PVE to prevent people from spamming dungeons to get in-progress, I do not beleive it serves the same purpose in PVP. If you do not accept a frontlines que the match still begins so not only are you now penalized from not entering you are also potentially locked out and cannot even que in-progress to fill up the party you just missed. I think the withdrawl pentalty is not helping for Frontlines or PVP and should be removed.

    It serves the same purpose even if the match still starts. I've noticed significantly fewer "my side starts with 8 people short and it takes 4 minutes to fill the parties" matches, and previously if you were unlucky you could end up starting in a one person party. The withdrawal penalty seems to have severely curtailed this.

    Plus if you get hit by the penalty its on you.

    I can see it both ways but I think it discourages team play in frontlines. Maybe if it told you who failed to accept you could kick or remove those players that afk while in que. That would be a good fix. Then the community can work out amongst themselves who afks while queing and not invite them.

    Or it should only penalize the one person who did not accept. Not the entire party. Its not fair to the team to penalize everyone.

    They definitely need to change it so that if a group queues and 1 person didn't click in because he went to pee or something, it would still bring the group in and drop that one person. That way, alliances get less cases where they are missing a whole party.

    I mean my group does the ready check, bunch of party spam sounds, and voice chat reminders to make sure everyone is still awake after a 20min queue. And even then there are still cases where one person was away for that 40s.

    I've had times where the queue popped, I sent someone about 15 text messages, they came running out of the bathroom and clicked the button half a second too late and then someone got locked out for 30 mins. It's so stupid. Either putting the other 7 people in or just letting the leader bring everyone in and that extra person can afk out in the first 2 mins if they're not actually there seems like a much better way to go.

    I agree with the two posts above mine ^^^^^
    I made a thread about this before, but I don't know if anyone posted in it agreeing with me. Now I think that everyone knows the same pain so now they can agree. Please let the rest of the party in if one person doesn't click. P l e a s e.
