Yes, you are free to leave either after timer runs out or someone else leave party. Also, click on leave and check the pop-up message. It will tell you if you will be marked now or if you have a free leave without mark. When you do get the mark - the pop-up explicitly says that if you leave now you will get the mark now.
Regardless, the system makes no sense, because it was obviously cried-out by turboshitters who wanted to be carried, but lolno it ain't happening and people are either leaving, abandoning, or standing still till timer runs out - but shitters are still not getting their carries at the end of day.
If you are a tank/healer/4p 700+ dps - you are free to leave regardless of le meme mark, because you will find next group in no time. Again, it is only punishing undergeared dps shitters who were highly-likely the ones begging for the mark to happen.
Mark is not "permanent" - it is removed after you time 1-2 keys. I believe nobody has checked yet, but I would assume it also resets by itself after some time - maybe a day or two, maybe on weekly reset. This is speculation. But if you are tank/heal/geared dps - you will remove the mark much faster than that.
The very idea is very commie-like, as it should somehow FORCE players to do bricket key or to carry shitters if abandon vote fails. Little did they know.
