Can we take another look at this because players are being punished with 15min cooldowns for no reason....

Join Que for Random Vet...
Find Group..
Within a second group leader disbands group for no obvious reason...
Innocent group members get stuck with 15 min cooldown for no reason....after waiting forever for a group...

Surely this is not how it was intended?

    The feature is intended, but the players make it annoying. Also this is constantly being discussed and I do believe they have plans to modify it for the better because of the complaints, just not sure what.

    Its a bug when the group finder finds a group and then instantly disbands it, and all players in group get 15min cooldown.

    Just got this bug, I thought the group leader was an *** for disbanding the group 2 seconds later....

    There has to be some kind of penalty else others could troll the group-finder (and believe you me they would).

    I do agree it is B.S. when players are kicked and suffer the same penalty. They need to flag that in the code and exempt those players from the 15 minute downtime.

    Being kicked or group disbanding should not penalise you, dropping group should. It's pretty simple but of course zos didn't think to implement it this way.

    The timer thing can be a bit of a PITA.. But what I dislike even more, is that we can end up in a group that's doing the end boss while you are still joining.. Give us an option to only look for new groups please..

    I'd love to see a way to decline the fast travel to the dungeon as well. Sometimes I am in the middle of trying to do something as the group finder finally places me within a group 2 hours after initiating the queue. Let me decline, and travel when I am ready. Most of this issue arises when it takes so long to find a group to begin with. Often times I have forgotten I had even queued when it pops up.

    What the OP describes has happened lots of times for myself as well, and the frustration is amplified when you have already waited so long just to find a group. I basically accept the fact that I am going to get a 15 min penalty anytime the random daily tosses me into a group for CoA, ICP, WGT, CoS, RoM because most PUGS fall apart in those dungeons.
