LFG abuse in end-game content.

[Ssalg.1205]

The lfg is very abusable at the moment, meaning alot of wasted time for players, with lfg times already unbearably long
this is surely making players quit endgame content or the game entirely.

What I mean here is that anyone can join a group in the lfg, especially for fractals and merge it with another
group, and then leave immeadiately. People then need to sort this out (often blaming eachother), leave and start over.
Joining and inviting people until the group is full will also do the same thing, by removing it for players
that are actually interested.
 

The same case is for raids and strikes, you can join a 9/10 group and remove it from the lfg and leave instantly, the
commander wont even know who did this and have to put it up again, often just for the same person to come back. If
you manage to spot the account name in the split second they are in the group blocking them does not seem to do anything either. As blocking does not prevent a player from joining with /sqjoin [name].
 

It is also very discouraging when I know for a fact there is nothing done by the moderation team to prevent this, as
from time to time over the last two years I have encountered the exact same player doing this. I wont name the player here as then the post will probably get removed, but I have reported them time after time (as have my friends) to no avail.
 

How can you fix this?
 

Prevention:

* Make blocked players unavailable to join the group again.
* Make a leader to every party the same way you have a leader for a strike/raid group.
* Give a log (chat option maybe) to see who joined/left the squad/party.
 

Retribution:

* Make reports actually matter, and perma ban serial perpetrators.
