How long is too long

[Daemon]

I don't know why people don't get this. When I went to get serpentes cuffs(?) from the corse, I originally tried as thf. I was slowly taking him down but after about 10 minutes it didn't feel worth it. I'd make a dent, then accidentally heal him back up. I decided my attack speed wasn't worth the hassle of trying to kill him. So I warped out and came as another job. This time I killed him in a reasonable amount of time. Sure, it didn't cost me anything other than a free warp scroll and some cruor, but there is a time to cut your losses and rethink strategy.

And that works when you are the one in control. Not when you depend on several people as a team. I understand his point of view. It's like trying to do a plasm party with people who only have af3, no REM. Maybe waiting 2 hours for a party only to net 2-3k plasm is ok for some if the group can even hit mobs or survive but to others would be a waste of time.

Is AF3 bad? No but it just doesn't cut it and at the current state that would be considered undergeared.

If you obviously join a party that doesn't know what they are doing and are not well prepared. After a few hours of trying would make sense to give up being that he already gave it a shot, why waste more time going on any further?

It would only be exhausting to wait it out especially if the rate of failure is higher than success. I'd imagine some people wouldn't want to waste any more resources, food, meds, to continue.

Also you can't leave Wildskeeper Reives and just come back and try again without paying 75k Bayld for another Ki.

Finally, there is no guarantee he will even get an item so there is no motivation to further push anyone in a fail group.
