holy shit, talk about a party pooper. Got kicked one too many times lately?

Sometimes people legitimately have to leave in the middle of a duty, and I seriously doubt 80% of the player base could accurately tell you why they were failing at a certain point in an instance. I think the current penalty system is fine.

We do need more incentives to run older content properly though. A savage/ex roulette would be a good start, if it only put you in duties you'd already cleared with people who haven't. Obviously this would be disasterous most of the time, so make the rewards worth it, say 350-400 tomes (assuming 450 weekly cap) and only queueable solo.

The other main incentive I could see working would be some situational gear, for example a weapon that does ice damage (higher damage vs ifrit/scorpion boss in sohm al hard etc), but that would mean opening up horizontal progression which yoship seems to have an allergy to.

I've only been kicked once. I've seen vote kick windows several times. I have seen more party abandons after a single attempt at the first boss, and that is the the reason why people hate queueing for the 24-man content because it only takes one sad-sack party to invoke Abandon. Want to play Extreme or Raid content? Well too bad for you Duty Finder PUG group, someone had a bad day, Abandon.

What I'm suggesting is make the penalty for Abandoning/Exiting equal just completing the thing and running out of time. If people are going to abuse the kick/abandon mechanic, it needs to come with the price of how long it would have taken to just suck it up.
