Like I said, you shouldn't be forced into playing the 1 dungeon out of 30 you would rather not do. That is not good for the person or for the people they are running it with.

Would you want to force someone to stay somewhere they didn't want to be and put zero effort into it when you could bring someone who wanted to be there? You remember how horrible it was in school when your teacher really really didn't want to do something but was forced to do it anyway just for you?

If you don't want to be there, you shouldn't have to be. This isn't a real life job, this is set up to help new people. And if there is a duty you hate, you shouldn't have to be forced to do it, just because a sprout is there. That's not the recipe for a good experience for anyone, especially the sprout.
While I agree that yes you shouldn't be forced to do something you don't want to do, if you aren't willing to roll with the punches of what you get, you shouldn't be queueing in the first place IMO. I didn't exactly want to get The Praetorium in the Main Scenario Roulette I queued for (to help queue times for my friends who were DPS who wanted to do it), I just accepted it and carried on and tried to make the best of it. I get it, we all have duties we don't like. But if we queue for the roulette, we accept the risk of getting them. Like there's certain levelling duties I get where I'm like "oh FFS why THIS!?" but I just accept it and carry on. And I usually play tanks/healers so much lesser queue times. Which is why I think the punishment needs to be made harsher (perhaps it could be adjusted a little dependent on how long you spent in the queue? Thus meaning the 30+ min a DPS spends in queue, is somewhat offset by a reduction in the penalty?)
