    So, Brian_, I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind me asking:

    I asked in a post that (I'm guessing) you didn't read thoroughly (since you summarized it as "Ranting" - I admit I laughed because of how false that was), and I never got an answer. Is your position that, because the system does not impose a stricter penalty than thirty minutes for leaving an instance prior to its conclusion, the choice of whether to eat that penalty is the only one a tank (or any player) needs to make when considering whether or not to continue in an undesirable piece of content (be it for the instance itself, the ineptitude of the group, etc.)?

    Such a question denies the potential additional social penalty faced by players who behave that way - would you also argue that there ought not to be a social penalty, and that people should just accept if someone who queued for a roulette leaves because the instance or group they wound up with was undesirable?

    And one more, getting a bit philosophical, but are you also of the opinion that people don't need to consider the effects their thoughts, words, and actions can have on others when determining their own behavior? By extension, I'm asking if you think a tank shouldn't consider the group they'd be abandoning in their decision to drop.

    EDIT: One more I thought of: are you opposed to some kind of alteration to the penalty, in order to encourage completion more thoroughly?
