A party member has withdrawn. Finding new members.

[DoctorPepper]

Or perhaps it's nobody's fault, and your predecessor was simply victim of an internet outage? - In about half the runs where we lose a party member, it's due to the dreaded 90k, not due to any kind've failing on the team's part (The other half is usually the tank ragequitting in the first 5 minutes because the rest of the team isn't full allagan/psychic/perfect)

GG for continuing to hold up my suspicion that most tanks are elitist jerks who instantly assume everyone else are morons.

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.

Simple solution, declining the queue should put you on a 3 or 5 minute "can't queue". There are legit reasons a person must decline right now, but 3 or 5 minutes barely hurts anything.

He was talking to me, not the OP, because I stated that I prefer a fresh run. I'll take what pops, if an in-progress pops, I go, but I prefer a fresh run.

Somehow, I'm the elitist jerk.

Tanks in AK have been doing it for a while, join up rush to first boss then dip out. I have had several lately..shrug

As a Tank that always does full runs because I only go in with my hubby. It happens to me to. So Healer or DPS doing it to.

There was a dev post in the JP forums saying they know there's a problem with the DF that it sometimes withdraws the party even while nobody withdrew. I forgot when they say they will patch it, but they know about the problem and are working on it.

I've had this happen many times while waiting for a queue and someone starts spamming withdrawal.

After a while, it stops happening so I'll check my queue because the window just stops popping up and suddenly I'm in a new queue.

As in, if I'm on WHM, It'll be 0/1[T] 1/1[H] 0/2[DD].

I was wondering if it was a glitch or if it's just something that happens after someone withdrawals a certain number of times.

I'm glad to know that they are looking into it though because it's really not fair to be stuck back at the end of the queue because someone else is being stupid.

Make the final reward based on the amount of bosses you have defeated.

3 Bosses killed: 40 Tomes.
2 Bosses killed: 20 Tomes.
1 Boss killed: 10 Tomes.

And the tomes will be granted only if you kill the final boss (as it is right now).

Problem solved.

This has been happening with increasing frequency for me. I queue up in the DF, a party is formed, then someone withdrawals. Not just once, but over and over and over again. Once for a wp run yesterday it happened 35 times in 3 minutes. In that case it was the tank. I can only assume it was the same person doing it repeatedly. But what I'm
Curious about is why?

If this only happened once I would write that tank off as being an ass. But it's been happening a lot in the last few days.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or have any clue what the benefit to withdrawing repeatedly gives?

By far the easiest solution that helps the most people, make those that queue for in progress runs only get in progress runs.

Yay, then when a tank dc's or is bad and leave you will NEVER get a rep.

Yeah... people who choose to join in-progress duties to help people who lost a member should be punished.
