Well, can already tell you're straight up lying because regardless on if you provide irrefutable proof of a ToS break or not, GMs will NEVER tell you if action has been taken or not. In fact, their responses always straight up tell you that they cannot tell you the result.

That big fish though. You’re a liar as that is not something a gm would say in a response beyond the “details provided” part. They will not tell you, ever, of penalties. Nor will they take action solely on your report before an investigation is done.
Good luck trying to hold people in a duty. The leave button exists for a reason. It’s only an offence if they “disconnect”. Even then, that would be investigated to see if it’s a common occurrence or just happens to be a blip for that person. Bad timing.
Enough with the tyranny of “report all who don’t fall in line”. You’re not making the game any better.


Edit: in fact, pull up your gm response history and show us those words. Would love to see them say “assess penalties”

Even disconnects can be just disconnects. It is an internet game, after all. I doubt they're after such reports, anyway, that would be a huge amount of work for no real gains. People can be kicked from the group, and replacements are almost instant.

Defending people leaving duty cause they didn't get one they wanted in a roulette is silly. It's a roulette you should be doing what you get for your bonus. No one forced you to queue for said roulette and risk getting something you don't want. If you want the bonus you queue for roulette and do what you get since its a roulette.

For those kinds honestly the bonus should just get used up for that day. If it's a real reason that person isn't going to care about one days roulette bonus they will just pick where they left off next day.

Leaving Castrum (or Prae, for that matter) is fine.
Just turn off 'in progress' queuing for the MSQ Roulette. Or everything's going to be a half-empty Castrum 0 minutes in progress, and move on with your life.

People get a penalty if they're the first to leave. Which is enough.
And if they're DPS, they're still staring down the barrel of another 15-30 minute queue on top of it. Which is probably going to be Castrum. Again.

The only thing that *isn't* fine is just standing around idle, either at the entrance or on /follow, hoping 7 people will get your XP for you.
I've tried to initiate kicks for THAT.
I even reported the one guy who was dumb enough to brag, in chat, about what he was doing. Since that would be an easy punishment for the team.

Though it's probably long past it's due and thus no longer on their radar (though they could have done it along with the other ARR reworks mid-Shadowbringers) they should have split Ultima Weapon off from Praetorium as it's own trial.
This would have the Praetorium raid ending with Gaius as the final boss, and be a similar length to Castrum, Then both duties would have the same rewards.

And it's been said a hundred times already for that sort of hypothetical suggestion: people who don't wanna do castrum, are just not gonna do it and in this case, you'd have people queuing up msq roulette even less. You know what would be the next complaint on the forums? "msq roulettes queue takes too long" "Been trying to get into msq roulette for over an hour" "people are still quitting castrum" "why am i being punished for the whole day for accidentally d/cing, I just had to step out for 10mins". And that's just half the problems. The other half would be people just deliberately afk or barely play castrum. No one would be stupid enough to intentionally declare that they're sitting this one out or even emoting that literally.

Seriously, what we should be doing is keep driving the requests to SE to either buff up castrum exp or make castrum and prae single player.

I want to believe you just wrote that because you knew it'd get a lot people to jump on it and you already know GMs never tell what they are gonna do nor reveal the reporters.

Here’s what should really happen. Make msq roulette an actual roulette not a coin toss between the two oldest and worst dungeons the game has to offer. “Main story roulette” ….
How many instances or dungeons in the actual MSQ that are mandatory that aren’t in said roulette?

Lot of Karens asking for people to be punished for "inconveniencing" them. You're still in the duty, they gotta wait 30 minutes to re-queue for anything. It will never in the history of this game take 30 minutes to reform a Castrum run. "BUH MUH VIDYA GAEM MY TIME!!!1!1" Get over it.
