    Putting a giant penalty wouldn't fix anything it would just make it potentially even more annoying, people will just dc or sit there afk until you kick them. Honestly, them dropping out is preferable since you just get a rep and keep going than getting into a situation where they occupy a slot doing nothing until they are kicked.
    In progress fishing doesn't really happen anymore, you get the penalty if you withdraw 3 times. And if all the loot was at the end it would deincentivise leaving mid match so there would be less in progress runs to fish for. I don't see this being an issue and you don't really want to discourage people from joining in progress.

    It's not an issue now because there is really no reason to do it (btw each slot drops from two bosses right now (legs is from 2 and 4, chest is from 3 and 4, etc, it's spread out in a way to encourage people that are targeting a specific slot to stay), but your proposal increases the amount of gear the final boss drops by 6 times. 12 drops from one boss that can be anything in the instance. That's already two times the amount the other 3 bosses drop put together.

    I mean I can either just fish the in progress and kill one boss for 12 chances at a piece of gear or start from the beginning and depending on the slot have 2-4 chances at my gear but have to kill 3 times as many bosses and in between trash.

    People also leave for other reasons, like if the party is bad, it took too long due to wipes so they had to leave, they just straight up had to leave etc. not only gear.

    Yeah, I get it, people loot and scooting is annoying but there's not much you can do about it with the system as is without introducing other problems unless they change it to personal loot. Really, the weekly lock is to blame.
