this is one of the things that really annoy me, I join a game, and it takes me to someone who is midway through a level, soloing it, and then they immediately kick me, generally in the middle of a swarm of enemies. Now generally im a team player, i hate soloing missions, due to the case that i well, suck, but that's beside the point. I just feel that when this happens, I've just wasted 10 energy on going down to a level mid way, only to be swarmed and forced to pay out more energy, just because the soloing fool cannot be bothered to lock his party.
Please can you make it so that when your on a two man team, there's a re-imbursion fee to the person who is being kicked. but, oh, i hear you say this can be advantageous to trolls. This fee is cancelled for when your waiting at a lift or party button.
Or if you dont like this idea, at-least give us an option to not join in levels part way and allow us to only join in the clockworks or the lobby.
It used to be that if you tried to join a group, it would only put you in a group that was right at the start of a level, or at least very near it. Now it will throw you in halfway through a level. Once I tried to join a group and got put into a level in which all of the mobs were already dead. Going back to the old system of only putting you at the start of a level would be an improvement.
