PvE Normal Time Penalty?

WTH, since when was there a penalty for leaving a Normal PvE?

I queued up a Conduit, and when I got in there noticed that there was no Cube above the transformer, so I left.

Went to queue up an advanced one and none of the Borg PvEs displayed in the list, other then Borg Disconnected.

In the bottom it said STF leavers penalty of 1 hour.

WTF is that TRIBBLE! It's a NORMAL, joe smoe PvE, since when do we get penalized for leaving a crappy Normal queue?

AFK penalties, Advanced and Elite penalties, now Normal penalties, why even freaking bother...

    You were a jerk and got what you deserved. Next time, finish what you've started.

    P.S. There is never a cube above the transformers in Normal, only spheres.

    I know there is no cube there, only in advanced and Elite.
    I wanted the Advanced queue, not the normal, it was my mistake to click on the wrong one, it would be helpfull if the PvE queue names had a bit more room to display by default.

    I did not want to waste my time doing normal, so I left, another person filled my place I'm sure, as it was with in the first minute.

    But your post does nothing to address my question.


    When was the penalty added for Normal queues?

    STF Leaver Penalty has been applied for almost 2 years. There was a lot of whinning in the forums about this even at normal queues back in 2012.

    Ah ok, so it only applies to Borg (STF) ones then?
    Not to all Normal PvEs?

    All STF's are effected by the penalty so, leave to early and you get penalized!

    next time finish it.

    usually, no one does actually come in, and the group has to do it with 4, or 3, or whoever is left after people crash out or quit.

    so you got what you deserved --- you messed up a group, and got a mild punishment for it.

    Next time, instead of leaving and getting the penalty, go make the other 4 player's day by helping them get through a normal STF easily. Maybe they aren't used to someone else taking aggro, or having a well boosted grav well, but you can make a difference for someone else. Maybe, they'll even ask you how you did it and you can take a few minutes to help someone out by giving ship build advice.

    You get leaver penalties if the server burps and disconnects you. Been there, done that.

    Joining the wrong queue by mistake happens. But it's not your teammates' fault, so you have to take responsibility and not leave them short a man because of your mistake.

    IMO all the PvE queues should have leaver penalty.

    Joining wrong que happens done it myself. I join a space stf or at least I thought I did and end up on ground. I would say oops this is not space and they would laugh at me. But I do the mission I'm not TRIBBLE it up for them. I hate players who leave the mission early and they should get penalty for leaving.:)
