The 30 minute penalty was made to prevent abuse, but instead it is used to hold hostage anyone that doesn't want to have to put up with an hour+ of wipes on a fight that, really, is very easy.

If someone asks to be kicked, I won't try to hold them hostage if they're polite about it. Hell, I've been in the unsavory position of needing to leave a duty because my FC popped on and said "We need you for X" during my roulette.
I'm sorry I can't agree with this at all. If it is a Roulette then you're taking that risk in getting a trial you really really really don't want. If you're not doing roulette, then make your own party.

As soon as you click that join with roulette option, everything that happens from there on out was a choice made by you. This also goes the same for anything you join via the DF.
