I've withdrawn after 17 minutes of waiting, I'm dps. So it would penalize me too.
Nonono. This is when you withdraw from the Duty READY window. That means that the game has put together a party for you and is just asking you to confirm that you're ready for the dungeon. This isn't about punishing people who un-queue themselves because of a long wait. This is about the people that wait until the party is ready to go and then drop to put everyone else back in queue.

This!
I really stinking hate it when I'm sitting in a 20+ minute DPS queue and I get the "DUTY READY!" and I click confirm and instantly, it says "Someone has withdrawn."
5 seconds later: "DUTY IS READY!"
"Someone has withdrawn."
Then I wait......5.....10......15 seconds and I'm like eh, wut?
Then I check my Duty Status window and I'm in a group with 2DPS, 0 Heals, 0 Tank. Apparently the tank/heals got re-assigned to another group and I MIGHT have a group 10 minutes later. Maybe.
I'm glad they are punishing the trolls withdrawing from duty constantly to troll people. This kind of crap used to happen in WoW too, and IIRC, they haven't done something like this in WoW yet. Hopefully they will in the future. IMO, you should get a stacking penalty with each Withdraw.
IMO, a better system would be:
First Offense: 15minutes (resets when you complete a duty)
Second Offense: 1 hour (resets next game day)
Third Offense: Can't queue until next game day
This'd teach people to only Queue up when they are serious about doing a duty but allow the occasional "whoops I got called AFK, sorry!" moment to not count against your daily offenses as long as you don't do it twice in a row.
