By ghosting I meant keeping the dps and party bonus from offline members. I think making them actually damage monsters is not as important.
Replacing players just creates more problems imo. You'll take a player from another party, makeing them search for a replacement too and so on, a never ending cycle. When the offline person logs in, his offline gains won't be as good as if he was still in a party. So while the rest of the party kept their 10-15% gain, this guy lost over 50%.
It's easy to avoid this with a full 24/7 party, but the main problem I see is on a full non 24/7 party anyway. If the players have a different timezone, then there's a high chance one of them will ALWAYS log in first and get a lot less exp/gold than the others, making him falling behind (even if his dps/online gains is slightly higher).
And I'm not active on discord, sorry if this is being adressed already.
