Without the penalty people would start picking dungeons. I'm talking about tanks and healers. Its already bad, tanks often leave as soon as they port in. If they dont like the dungeon they got or they think someone is too low cp or whatever, they would just leave and requeue until they got easy one. At least with the penalty most tanks will give it a go and leave later if group is bad. But it totally sucks to wait in queue for 30+ min as dps and then tank leaves without even trying.
The problem is that the finder ofen refuses <50 players to join normal dungeons as it believe its vet dungeons.The penalty serves a valid purpose as more people abandoned GFs faster when the group was not so great. ]
The real issue noted in the OP is that their random group is kicking them faster than OP is getting back into the game after a DC which means the issue is not the penalty itself.
It drives home the point I have made time and time again, life is much better running with guildies than with GF strangers. The dungeon runs are not only better on average but they are less likely to kick you quickly if you DC.
What tanks? in random normal unless I have a taunt slotted and queue as tank I usually end up being with the boss anyway... That's my experience from leveling stamden.
Yep, they changed it like a year and a half ago or so.

That is odd because we used to get a penalty even when kicked and I thought zos removed that. If someone is kicked from the group they should not receive a penalty. Only if someone initiates them leaving the group.
But the penalty should not be removed entirely.

It hasn't changed. You only keep the 15 minute penalty timer if you aren't in the instance when you get kicked. If you get kicked from the dungeon while you're in it, the timer goes away.
Penalty should remain when kicked or fake roles get really arrogant.
