@Big1, I hear you and understand your frustration. This is something we’ve discussed below:

The most recent movement was a proposed solution here:

If you don’t want to read those, the short of it is that we’re aware of this problem. We used to have a rule to prevent this, but it wasn’t enforceable in a fair manner or realistic to moderate given our limited staff.
We have some ideas that will help rogues avoid your exact situation, but no ETA on when they will be added. In the meantime your best bet is to try to work it out with your leader or, if that fails, to actually go rogue and make their game difficult. I recommend the first option, but it’s up to you.
