I joined a normal random group a couple of months back as lvl 20ish DPS, WGT. Said 'hi' and someone in the group said 'bye' and i was immediately voted out. DPS queue was about 45 mins at the time, wasn't amused by that. The only amusing thing was the rest of the groups were all cp 100-300, and totalled up to less than mine... Should be a 5 min timer on waiting for a replacement if you kick someone. That would at least mean groups only kick people that have had a chance to show that they actually know strats and can perform their role.

I pug 5 dungeons daily over 2 years, I know how to deal with pugs.

quitting the group and then ranting on the forums about being penalized does not count.

Doesn't seem like ranting about being penalized, but rather about a bug regarding the group finder tool. Seriously, a 1hr timer is overkill.

And yes, OP was justified in leaving in this instance.

As a tank, I can't blame the OP for choosing to leave with two players deciding they wanted to taunt the mobs and bosses themselves. Usually I prefer to stay and carry the team, but everyone has to decide for themselves how much time and effort they are willing to put into a group that is actually not working for them.

That being said, my preferred method is to say something after I notice that taunt has been pulled away from me by someone else. Usually its a DPS with an ice staff who didn't know about the taunt or who accidentally heavy attacked. I say that its no problem, and it really isn't. Accidents happen. But then I also say that if you really want to taunt something, I'm going to let you have it. If the player with an ice staff or Pierce Armor taunt really wants that aggro, I hope they've got the ability to handle it because if you want to deliberately pull aggro away from the tank, you get what you you asked for.

So my suggestion to the OP is this. The next time someone doesn't listen to you about taunt abilities, let them taunt the boss and deal with the results. Sometimes, experience is the best teacher.

Its not just the dps and healer that taunt mobs and bosses, its them not doing the job they are supposed to do.
It’s torturing to have a dps that just use ice staff heavy attack and call it dps, 1 or 2 k dps every second is torturing.
Then the healer with sword and board and pierce armor everything, I mean he’s healer not a dps nor tank. And he died the fastest.
I explained to them, then they moved on and continue to do so, I guess they thought I’m the noob.
They want to play it their way fine, I just rather wait out 15min for leaving the group and try another pug.
But no, I get one hour penalty, hence my thread.
It’s my first dungeon in 24 hours too, not like I leave one after the other.
I’ve done normal icp with two level 10 dps before, it’s smooth and fast.
I pug 5 dungeons daily over 2 years, I know how to deal with pugs.

Sure it was normal ICP, with a lvl 16, a lvl 22, and a cp 100+, and normally there isn't much reason to kick lowbies or leave groups from a normal dungeon. However, they're lvls were not the point. The point was that one dps was taunting with a ice stave, and the healer was taunting with puncture. OP pointed this out and they continued as is regardless.

That's well enough cause to leave the group, imho.

Have they fixed the 15 minute penalty when you arrive just in time for the group (that's usually been there for 2.5 hrs) decides to disband before you even hit the portal?

yea i got zero cooldown one time with that. not sure if that was intended or just a glitch

@ZOS_GinaBruno I have answered your question above, once you get the message of this bug, please close the thread of discussion. Or pm me.
I ve posted this in bug report section few weeks ago, and no one does anything or reply. Hence I had to post in general discussion, but I have no intention to discuss this with the forum, as it’s flooded with trolls and unproductive discussions.

sent a PM to you. thanks for looking into this

You got a penalty for leaving the group before the Dungeon was finished, it's that simple, it's how that works.

Well, I have not heard anyone else get one hour penalty so far.
This thread is about the one hour vs 15 min penalty, so far none have been in my shoe.
If you guys don’t then I’m not asking you to comment or criticise. If you are so inclined to do so, open your own thread and complain there.

Actually thatś not how public forums work. People can say what they want.

Learn to play with the other children. Frankly if youŕe CP600+ and dont have dozens of people from 5 different guilds to run dungeons with thereś something wrong with you. Also if youŕe CP 600+ and cant run a normal with basically anyone that explains why a 600+ tank isnt completely overwhelmed with invites to do dungeons with guildies. A good CP 600+ tank will NEVER have a shortage of people wanting to do dungeons with him.

If you are a DPS qued as a tank and leave because other people wont carry you through a normal dungeon youŕe just a tool. For people like you I wish there was a 24 hour penalty.

This is what I would call a Troll post ^

Resurrecting this thread because I got a one hour cooldown the other day. I reported the bug in game and support turned around and told me to post it here.

PS4 NA

Random queued as DPS. Got Fungal Grotto II. The "tank" wasn't one but a DPS with dual wield & bow. I was disgruntled because it always takes longer if someone isn't playing the role they queued for but I kept going.

We got to Gaymne Bandu and people were being chained down and would have died except that I was the only one attacking the shadow tormentors. I told them in chat that the tormentors had to be taken down quick or it was insta death and then I was the one chained down and they kept attacking the boss instead of the tormentors. A couple of them were in low CP so it wasn't that they were complete noobs at the game. Once I was dead, I left the group. We were about 10 minutes into the dungeon. I don't like to get killed over and over and having to pay big armor repair bills due to this kind of thing so I preferred to leave instead of stay and suffer through more of same.

When I was dropped back in the overworld I went to re-queue and expected 5 minutes or so left on the cooldown timer but instead it said 52 minutes. I didn't enter & exit the dungeon immediately upon porting to it, I wasn't vote kicked out, I left because the group was ignoring mechanics when pointed out and had players that queued for roles that they weren't prepared to play. This is the second time in the past year that I've been hit with a one hour cooldown instead of 15 minutes. So if it is a bug you're aware of, it's not fixed yet.

It's not a crime, it's a bug that has been acknowledged in this thread so ...
