Video: Bug? 15 min Penalty for Group Disbanding! (No Leaving)

Today my dungeon queue popped, but my group disbanded before I could even enter the dungeon. And then I get a 15 minute penalty as shown in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtxQKvxwm6Q

0:08 - Get dungeon queue pop
0:31 - 1st member leaves
0:48 - 2nd group member leaves
1:00 - 3rd group member leaves
1:12 - Shows 15 minute penalty!

This can't be intended right?

    Working as intended though it is annoying.

    Why would this be intended? What is the intent here?

    It's to prevent people that leave part way through a dungeon rejoining the group finder. There is a good chance that they will be stuck with the same 15 minute penalty.

    But in the video, you can see that I didn't leave. In fact, I did nothing at all.

    That can't be the intent right? To penalize people who DON'T leave?

    Again, working as intended if not annoyingly. You didn't leave but you had queued to recently. That's just how it works

    Unfortunately, you were put in a group in the middle of disband.
    While I don't think the penalty was intended for a situation like this. I don't think that ZOS can separate a situation like this from a drop.
    The failed jump tells me that the previous drop hadn't cleared the dungeon before the rest started dropping group.

    Why is the intent to penalize people who didn't leave? In fact, what do you suppose IS the intent here?

    But if you get kicked from a dungeon, there is no penalty for the person who got kicked, even if they queued within 15 minutes. So if ZOS can separate that situation, they can surely separate the situation where the group disbands right?

    If you get kicked from a group within the 15 minutes you still suffer from the wait time. It's just that most group kicks happen after 15 minutes has passed because the person kicked was holding the group back or was offline and never returned.

    You weren't kicked though, you were the last person in group. This counts the same as a disband or quit to the system.

    I've had this happen on PC a few times. Mostly when I queue as a tank or heals, and the previous person rage quit over the group quality.

    From the thread regarding a 1 hour timer...the video from the op is an example of one part that causes the 45min -1 hour timer.

    Not true. I've kicked people from the beginning of dungeons, only to have them come immediately back.

    And last month I was kicked immediately from a vRoM dungeon because I was lower level. I was able to queue immediately again with no penalty, and got into the SAME group again, and was promptly kicked immediately once more. And then I queued yet again at once.

    So no - being kicked from a dungeon results in 0 penalty for the person being kicked even if it happens within 15 minutes of the group forming.

    Didn't know that. Then again, I've never been kicked from a group nor have I had to kick anyone recently since I don't use the group finder anymore. I have guilds to do this stuff with.

    That sounds like a bug then. Being the last person in a group that disbanded shouldn't count as a "quit" or "leave". Because it's inaccurate.

    I've had the reverse happen, I was in a group that wouldn't listen about the planar in WGT. I dropped group and re-queued as a tank. Got shoved back in the group. Needless to say I logged that time for the day.

    That's probably working as intended, since you were most likely in the dungeon for longer than 15 minutes, if you managed to reach the Planar Inhibitor!

    Amazing that OP posts a real issue with the consistently broken activity finder and they get troll responses of "Working as intended." Sad!
