"How To Quit You" Quest

Multiple times tonight, with every party member needing the WAR final quest, flagged and ready we tried fifteen times to enter the instance. Each time, one or more party members would be ejected from the instance without warning. Of course, we tried everything from double-checking our Journals, everyone entering as Warrior, to rebooting the game entirely. Nothing worked.

Had it not been for sheer persistence, we would not have finished the quest as we settled for the most amount of party members we could get in at one time.

Highly annoying this was. Fix it please.

Steps:

A group of 8 members had departed Ul'dah on Chocoback bound for the NPC Curious Gorge in Western Thanalan. Once we all arrived at said NPC, we accepted the final Warrior quest, "How to Quit You", from Curious Gorge. We then mounted our Chocobos and rode off to the south where the instanced battle was to take place. We arrived, dismounted, and everyone but the Paladin (Paladin did not need the quest) in the group changed their job to Warrior to initiate the instance.

We all entered as normal, but once the instance loaded in, two members were left outside the instance. Of course, we exited the instance without engaging and regrouped. We called for a re-check of our Quest Journal from everyone, and found that each person requiring completion of the quest did in fact have it flagged and ready to commence. Thinking it a fluke, we again switched our jobs back to Warrior, and attempted another entry.

This time, two different members were ejected from the instance. Befuddled, we exited again. We checked yet again all prerequisites for this quest and found every person to be in compliance. We then decided to exit the game entirely and reboot it.

We logged into the game and regrouped immediately. Again, we changed our jobs to Warrior, checked that all had done so and attempted another entry into the instance. Same again, except this time only 1 member was ejected. Done scratching our heads and now completely fuelled with frustration, we tried exiting and re-entering the instance time and again only to find the same results: One or more random members were removed from the instance.

We finally stopped somewhere around fifteen attempts at getting the full group inside, and cleared the instance with 7/8 members. We did the same for the member who was left out of the successful run, and unsurprisingly we had to do that with 7/8 members.

There were no problems with the battle itself or being able to complete the quest; Only being able to get the full group inside at the same time.

I'm not sure if this is of any consequence, but I do recall one of our members having this strange, glowing triangle-shaped icon above his head as we tried to enter at one point. I remember this same member being the first to be excluded from the instance on our initial attempt at entering the instance.

We had the same trouble, it only took us about 10 tries, but we weren't a full party so we had less chances of someone bein left out. different ISP, different server, but around the same time the original post here was written.
