Hour penalty on dungeon queue?

✭Cooldowns have to disappear. They make no sense. They unnecessarily punish players who don't want to run dungeons twice to complete one pledge.3 -

Often times, when players drop out, it can inconvenience those who remain. The decision to drop from a PUG needs to be a considered thoughtful decision. When you make the decision to drop out, you do it knowing that the timeout was preferred to staying in the group. This discourages a number of things, including PUG shopping.1 -

I agree about the inconvenience part, but to penalize a player for dropping out of a PUG when they were already at the final boss? Shouldn't the penalty be more related towards the time spent and progress you've made in the dungeon?
At this point, it's a bigger inconvenience for the player joining in for the final boss, since now the player has to replay the whole instance again.2 -

Tbh, if they're at the last boss, might as well help them do it. It'll probably take you shorter than the standard 15 minutes cooldown (1 hour one does indeed sound like a bug), you'll have the good karma points for helping out people in need and you'll get fast and easy last boss loot (if it's dlc then maybe a motif page even).
That said, they should really re-do old dungeon pledge quests so they only require the last boss, like all new dlc ones do. I can't imagine this being hard and it would really help solve at least a few issues out there.
On mildly related note, if there's only 2 people left in group and you disband the group (I don't think you can just leave, group leader has to disband it) you won't get penalty. Whether that's intended or a bug I cannot say.0 -

yeah, makes a lot more sense to limit the pledges to only the final boss. People still skip bosses anyway so why not?0
