    Abandoning Instaces - Duty Finder Behavior Issue!

    The Entire Duty finder is a great System however! I believe it makes it extremely simple for people to just abandon their groups...with rarely any penalty in place for such behavior.

    ***15 minutes is not enough to cause people to second guess their actions.***

    I would like to see SE provide stricter punishment for those that seem to find this type of action acceptable in this game. Final Fantasy XI taught discipline and a need to persevere yet FFXIV is promoting trolling among other simple minded behaviors. I suggest a longer penalty or temporary ban from that specific instance for half a day to a day in order to educate players to persevere through difficulties and working with other players.

    15 minutes is plenty.

    While your frustration is understandable, there are many more reasons for a person to leave a group other than trolling.

    Will this new punishment system punish us for getting disconnected? No?

    I don't like this group, they aren't elite enough. *pulls ethernet cable/disconnects wifi*

    If I get disconnected only to get banned from DF for a day or more just to nail the jerks, that's punishing everyone, not the people that 'need' to be 'punished'. If it doesn't punish disconnects, the jerks will just pull the plug to get around it.

    Here's what just happened to me 2 minutes ago in Garuda HM.

    The tank has 4.2k HP, he loves that slipstream which he'll do whatever in his power to catch it -- while it does 3.8k damage to him.

    The other healer has less than 3k HP, which means he cannot even survive through the transition into phase 2.

    I wonder why people are calling out others elitists and jerks because they simply understands the fight is being made unnecessarily harder than it should be -- if not at all impossible, by the action or those under-geared individuals who deem it's a "waste of time" to come properly geared or prepared.

    It looks like the item level restriction on dungeon is a necessary step.

    This is just wrong information right here.

    No it's not, 15 Minutes go make a Sandwich then come back to que and be Douche Bag again. Make it 25 Minutes for Abandon your group Members if Duty started.

    Still think 15 is plenty. Have you seen a group torment a player just to get them to drop group so that they can avoid the debuff? It needs to stay 15 minutes.

    As a healer I can't say this really bothers me but I do feel bad for the dps. Honestly, the only thing that really needs to be added here is the ability to reque as a group for the same fight if somebody leaves. If it's a primal reset the timer so that the newly made group can start over fresh and make people join it regardless of having party in progress checked since said timer is reset.
