[Feedback] Please remove deserter penalty

Since last night's maintenance, if someone leaves they get deserter penalty and can't join another room. Also, it will take up a spot, so someone new can't take that spot and will disconnect upon trying to enter that room (if it's full, and someone deserted). Plus, no one likes it. Please remove it, it's way too extreme in my opinion. Sometimes, people might disconnect randomly, and BAM they get deserter penalty. +1 if you agree lol

I think for the common first time player, the deserter penalty constantly dcing you from PvP rooms will run them nuts. For us players that played the game before, we get mad dcing but our patience for the game is a lot more than new people. Getting constantly DC'ed and having to turn the game on again really tilts me but I can handle it. But the new players I am telling can't. If you watch the latest MMO hut Metal Assault video. Look at like 1:33 in the video
(Video.)
You will see that the reviewer talk about how annoying and frustrating the bugs and glitches are. He describes testing this game as "getting through with it" That's how annoying the deserter system is lol.

The deserter penalty is supposed to make it so you can't ditch your team. But somebody deserting a game and not coming back is harsh. They basically lock up the room so nobody else can join for  along time. So for like 5 minutes you are fighting 4v6.

Deserter penalties a good idea so people won't leave that much but

1) New players began to lose patience for the game and probably said "forget this game!" after 28x Disconnects trying to just go in a PvP room

2) It basically locks up the room preventing your team on getting back up

So either fix the glitch up now or take it out of the game now. Because it's endangering new players. 

One solution could be get rid of the deserter renter feature and keep the timer for leaving the room. The renter feature is the thing dcing people. Because it holds the spot for only them.

It's understandable that it may be frustrating having like a 4v5 for 10 minutes (5 minutes isn't as much of a problem) But at the same time you have to realize that there is a list of problems being solved 1 by 1. As you can see the resolution issue is gonna be fixed on April 4th, next update will be something else, also keep in mind the devs have to deal with this issue as well as hacks/glitches/bugs. I rather have the penalty there for months than deal with an over run on glitches and hacks like on Aeria. Let them fix those first then meanwhile they can simply remove the feature.

Yea you said it right there, they should simply remove the feature so they can fix other issues  in the game(like hacking and resolution). The penalty is fine. What I said is that the DC'ing when trying to connect is the problem.

I said either fix it or remove it as soon as possible. One or the other. Because it will endanger new players interest.

Removing the feature temporarily and fixing other more important things first is a really good route to take.

While the bug that was causing much of the penalties to happen unjustly, the dev team informed me that the deserter penalty was changed, adopting the following structure that was sent to them.

1st Penalty: Warning (no penalty)

2nd Penalty: 2 Minutes

3rd Penalty: 5 Minutes

If that is not the case, please let me know so I can bring it back up with the dev team.

Unfortunately it is not the case. The game crashed and when i logged back in, it gave me the 5min Deserter Penalty. I do not know if it is bugged, but it automatically gave me the 5min wait. 

First game since update. Crashes as soon as map loads, unable to join game for 5 minutes.

Incremental penalties are needed. Here's my thoughts

Warning for the first penalty, and a timed penalty for the second time.

or

DC Detection / option to rejoin room that could give a penalty.
