Why? So people should have to stay with bad groups or a group where one player is either incredibly terrible or trolling and getting everyone killed. Sometimes a group of randoms just doesn't work well together. Don't force a group to make it work for an hour, go find a group that does work. Vote abandon is hardly abused, if a majority of people want out they do not need to be penalized for doing so. There is already bonus tomes to help new people. This just seems pointless and I am not elitist in any way. I have maybe initiated a vote abandon 2-3 times since it became a thing.

It takes team chemistry to make a duty work, sometimes it just isn't there.
