duty finder and penalties

[jordiv]

Hello,

I've been playing quite a lot and a while ago I've created a character for repeating the msq.

Right now I'm finishing shadowbringers quests and I have to queue a lot.

My main new char is a brd and I have to do looooong waits on duty finder. And sometimes while the long wait I do something else and I got kicked out and I got a penalty.

Today I reported this ingame to a GM that is unfair and is really frustrating bc I got a 30m ban time (I had 2 kicks), as I'd quit in the middle of a duty.

The gm just told me that this system action is automatic and it can't be undone manually and they asked me to open a forum entry.

I don't know maybe this is yapping in the vortex and is no use reporting this and no one will delete this unfair behavior.

"Unfair."

If you leave a duty there are 3 or 7 other people who now have to wait for a replacement because you left. If you don't want to be punished for inconveniencing everyone else, maybe don't leave them waiting for a replacement.

Do it with npc?

You can't use Duty Support while you're under the Duty Finder Penalty.

What's really unfair here is that the penalty points stay with you till reset or you get the 3rd one, rather than expiring after like 3 hours or something

That GM did you dirty by telling you to post here. You do get we're the people you inconvenienced with your actions, right? We are the ones who sat there just as long as you did, finally got a pop and now have to keep sitting there cause you walked away from your keyboard. I'm afraid you've picked the worst place to get sympathy.

They reset after 24 hours, which is a short period of time considering you shouldn't be racking up multiple penalties in a week let alone a single day.

It sounds like you should be thinking about why you're getting the penalties so often in the first place and change whatever habit you have that is causing them. Or don't queue in the first place if you can't commit to the potential wait. Roulettes are not the only way to get XP and tomestones.

You're directly affecting other players by leaving a duty or not accepting a Duty Finder that you queued for. They had to wait in queue also and now you're making them wait for a replacement on top of that. If it's happening that frequently then you should probably consider why rather than being upset by the consequences.

How many times a day does 1 person really need to abandon Duty Finder, though? If you can't commit to it, then don't queue.

Exactly i can count on one hand in 14 years the number of times I’ve willingly abandoned a duty, I’ve asked a few times to be kicked for a genuine emergency popping up but who the hell needs to abandon 3+ duties every single day

it wouldnt really be a penalty otherwise would it?
