true.. its funny because they complain about the 45+ minute queues, but just last night I was DF for ultima hm, accept prompt popped up... 2 tanks CHECK; 2 heals CHECK; 2/4 DPS... 45 seconds later: "party member has withdrawn".. next accept popped, 2 tanks CHECK; 2 heals CHECK; 3/4 dps.. immediate withdraw... went on about 4 times before full party.. but, doesn't really bother me because, like everyone knows,, tanks usually have instant queue for pretty much everything

Half an our reserving instance delay? I have yet to encounter this or hear of anyone encountering it.

To be fair, when you are waiting half an hour or more, sometimes life pops up and takes priority, like having to pee or whatever, and you hear it, but can't make it to the keyboard in time.

oh, I know that, I was mainly referring to the 4 times where everyone but 1 or 2 dps were ready, and within 5 seconds "party member has withdrawn".. the 45 seconds wait can be thrown up to the AFK category

I always to to join in progress as a tank. If some tank wants to leave or afk (get voted out) I am more than happy to finish up a half run dungeon for full myth.

Close, but there's a more appropriate reason. It's to attempt to skip ahead to the last 2 bosses so they can get an easy shot at the chest/helm and get quick myth tomes without having to trudge through the crap they don't care about. That reserving instance issue doesn't affect as many people as you might think, I know I've only had it happen one time since CT was released, and it was only for 10 minutes.

Plus why would you want to join an "in-progress" CT? Most of the time the reason why they're in progress is because the Alliance raged and everyone left so really you're wasting your own time.

@OP: I fully agree and I refuse to do it myself. Pisses the living shit out of me when I get the window to que only to have it cancel and then 5 seconds later appear again. Also Healers (and possibly DPS?) are guilty of this as well.

DPS guilty of it? Yeah, LOL no. If you're lucky enough to get a queue in under 30 minutes there's no way in hell I'm going to go "Hmm.. TROLOL let me withdraw and wait another 40 minutes". Most of the time in scenarios where DPS are the only ones unchecked is because they've been waiting so long that by the time the queue pops they don't have time to do whatever they signed up for. On the off chance you get lucky and get DF to pop in like 10 minutes its usually an empty instance where everyone rage quit and left. (This of course if you have join in progress checked)

When I'm sitting in a que with 6/6 tanks 6/6 healers and 11/12 dps. I know how it feels using df as a dps which is why I find that its way better to join PF groups when I switch to my drg since we can que as a party.

Im just saying there's always a shade of grey when it comes to the "Blame Game"
