DF Penalty from withdrawing from a party in progress should be removed

[Fynlar]

If you have issues with dropping into a DF that has a good amount of time into it, uncheck the "enter in progress" button.

This.

The inprog option is a potentially double-edged sword. You might end up being able to skip a good portion of the duty and still get credit for completion, or you might end up with a craptastic group (that likely warranted the departure of whoever you end up replacing) that ends up taking more of your time than normal. That's the gamble you take with it.

Nobody's forcing you to use the option, though.

Another thing worth noting is that if you join an inprog and the party is still incomplete (like, you hop in to Wiping City and you see your party is 3/8 members), you are permitted to just leave as soon as you see that and you won't be penalized (penalty only applies to the person that leaves a full group)

Well the OP is reffering to get punished for declining an invite for an in progress group which i kind of understand since you do not get punished if you join in and then immediatly leave afterwards because there is no punishment for leaving in progress groups if you are the one who joined.

This is not true. You only do not get penalized if the group is still not full.

Penalty for ditching a group is solely dependent on whether or not the group had all of its members. If you join inprog and the party is back up to 4/4 as a result, you will be penalized if you leave.

My experience is different. When Palace of the Dead was released and I got matched in progress on foor 49 (there was no checkbox for in progess anyway and joining in progress on that floor happend a lot to me) I immediately left the group and most of the time we were full and never did I receive any form of punishment. I do not know if potd is an exception but it matches groups through df so the rules should be the same because I did get punished once for declining the invite itself but not for leaving full groups after I joined.

No, this is not true, you don't get penalized if you leave after joining a group in progress, go try it if you want. Since you don't know the circumstances in the new group SE doesn't force you to stay when you go in progress.


To clarify:

If you enter a duty normally from the start, you can only leave without penalty if the party is not full.

If you enter a duty in progress you can leave without penalty anytime you want regardless if the party is full or not.
