    Not me, I'd usually rather join a fresh run. If the [my role] ditched, there's probably a reason and only a 33% (it was either a dps, the tank, or the healer) chance the cause was my predecessor. WP 1/3 could mean a giant tonberry gibbed them (it happens) or it could mean the group doesn't have the intelligence to down the second boss. I'm a relic tank, I do some dps, but not likely enough to kill the adds if the group couldn't.

    Wait, what? I'm one of the tanks that queues and takes what pops. I don't bottleneck you guys with repeatedly canceling and I'm an elitist jerk? I really think you need to reconsider your perspective.

    I also didn't nail it to just tanks, I play healers too, and most times when I join a group in progress on healer (I don't mind doing it on a tank, I hate doing it on a healer), I find out the tank can't . . . tank or he's level 50 and hasn't figured out the benefit of marking one target, and even if he's spamming flash.

    Shield Lob (Can change red text to Tomahawk and it will work perfectly Warriors)
    /macroicon "Shield Lob"
    /ac "Shield Lob" <t>
    /marking attack1 <t>

    Better "macro switching", give it a read: http://tinyurl.com/ffxivhotbars

    I think you're misunderstanding.. the OP is talking about before the dungeon even starts, not people who leave during the dungeon. I've experienced this a few times on scholar too, the instance que pops up for a few seconds and then the tank drops and it displays the message in the title of this thread. One night it happened to me over 20 times in a row over the course of 5-10 minutes.

    Ignore RyuujinZERO. This person is extremely toxic to tanks on these forums and seems ignorant that tanks see the same behavior from healers when using the DF. It's not all tanks that do this nor healers. Damage dealers would be guilty of it as well if they didn't suffer queue times.
