Was talking with some FC mates in discord this morning and the topic of deserter debuff came up. According to one member, the debuff has been changed to lock you out up to 24hrs if you repeatedly eat the 30min lockout for leaving a group.

Can anyone confirm if this is true or hogwash? I personally cant see it as being true. What if you have to raid later that night and you keep getting trash groups you don't wana be in so you leave and end up with a 24hr lockout "sry guys cant make it tonight had too many shit groups in DF". I'd like to point out that one member in particular seemed very adamant and was borderline wanking SE on this "decision" claiming "people pay for this game and shouldn't be screwed out of a run because someone couldn't set aside the time or decided to be a douche and leave".

That above quote alone makes think what I was told is BS and it's just coming from someone who's salty/entitled as nobody can be held hostage to a group and a 24hr lockout seems beyond inconceivable to me.
