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

[alimdia]

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.

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.
