alienating the playerbase seems like their new strategy. Its not working very well.

this is dumb, please tell me you didnt understand the full effect of this dumb dumb dumb decision and are currently working on an ACTUAL way to stop people from entering unfinished phases, cus this is baaaaad, super inconvenient and also extremely problematic for timers. this games raids are already buggy, with infinite loading screens and resbugs all over the place. Having to restart your game and join back into the group or switching toons should not have a chance of botching timers or waste time for everyone.
