Get ported to half finished RoM, then after 2 min group changes their mind and I get ported to WGT with them but I'm trying to farm Amberplasm. Leave group, cant join another for 15 min GG.

I agree with OP
I think they need to rework it to where once you beat the first boss you can't leave without a penalty I hate getting kicked from a group or leaving at the start of a dungeon and getting the time penalty.

The penalty benefits no one. NO ONE. People who choose to leave because they don't like it do this knowing there is a penalty. And then doing care. AT ALL. To them it seems the 15 min doing other stuff is better than doing a dungeon run they believed would be that bad of an experience for them. So to them, it's actually not a loss at all. For everyone else? Double whammy because they wanted to do the dungeon and now they have to wait again.

Just remove it, nobody is jumping ques to troll groups.

The time penalty should stay but make it so if someone is kicked of leader disbands the group there is no penalty, except for the leader who disbands the group.

What new to be added is a toggle for joining an in progress group, maybe since it could hamper players working in a pledge. Maybe unintended consequences considering this.

^This.

OP: The solution to your problem isn't to remove the time penalty. It's to prevent you from getting popped into an in-progress dungeon if you don't want to get popped into an in-progress dungeon.

The problem is that isnt the only problem. For example the last 2 times i successfully found a dungeon we had to many people. One had 7 people(no im not making that up) and one had 5.

No one did anything wrong. But now several people have to wait again for nonreason. succeeding in being placed in a group is a horrible place to start a timer.

OK sure, but getting rid of the timer isn't the solution to that problem either. The solution to that problem is to fix the bug that lets that lets more than 4 people get put into a group for a 4-man dungeon.

When i played before i recently came back i would queue for a dungeon, pop in, then immediately removed just so people could get a freind in instead of a "pug". Not sure if it's implemented yet but maybe there should be a 5-10min wait on the ability to kick another member.

Also if kicked from group there shouldn't be a cool down only if player abandons the group before the instance is over.

It's stupid, that they force us to play with horrible players. When I use the group finder and am forced to group with Cp81 people or so, then I will instantly leave and I only get such lowies -.- This penalty should go.

for one running pug's suck most of the time's
they need to fine tune this grouping tool as well and make it really functional besides the time penalty yfact

i've really didn't ever used it extensively cause back then it i had to wait hours to get a group then i didn't bothered with that anymore

try to make some friends in game and join a guild till then sadly ..

to say that your point is valid and needs attention to get the tool's usefull for once

@DocFrost72 I hear ya. I've been on the opposite side of this and it's just as annoying. 2 of us in a premade group (both dps) join the queue and get into a dungeon to find we've joined a group of 3 and there are now 5 of us in the group. One of us is asked if we wouldn't mind leaving. This is a completely valid request since we should never have been grouped in the first place, but we both have to leave since we're specifically playing together. That leaves the other group needing to find a replacement, but it leaves us stuck waiting for 15 minutes before we can queue again. 2 + 3 != 4 really!?

Had the same thing happen a couple of nights ago... I joined with my buddy into a group of five.

The leader kicked the lowest CP ranked player in the group, leaving him with a 15 minute wait.

I felt bad for him.

Joining an in-progress group should give some the person who joined some kind of thank-you bonus (similar to the random dungeon bonus) when the dungeon is completed.

Otherwise, everyone will just turn the option off to do pledges and in-progress groups will never find a replacement.

Or credit for bosses killed already if your trying to complete the pledge, although that would be abused to all ends by players who don't actually want to play the game.

Yea, I thought about that, but it wouldn't be too long until some poor soul gets kicked at the final boss, just so some brony's best mate can hop in at the last minute for a free gold key.
