"A member has withdrawn from the duty."

honestly as a tank I only join into CT if its at least 2/4. I don't need the gear, and its the easiest way to make philo and myth. Far easier than any speedruns.

Just remember, this guy isn't the only princess tank that can't be bothered to run a dungeon from the beginning. Why should he have to work just as hard as everyone else for his tomes? He's a tank!

There are a plethora of people who do this and it won't stop with a forum topic 99% of them will never read. At least SE has mentioned this in passing, so we might get a fix in the future. Cross your fingers.

This problem serious needs addressed in 2.15.

Clicking on the Join In Progress option and not being able to see if you're actually joining an in progress run or a brand new one defeats the purpose of the Join In progress option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope.

The whole purpose of the join-in-progress feature, is to make sure there are replacements for when people leave a dungeon mid-way. Why it was put up as a separate option, was also very simple: because a lot of people prefer to do full dungeons.

So in order to make everyone happy, join-in-progress was made as an option.

The purpose was never to make sure new people can get in-progress parties. It was to make sure already in-progress parties can get replacements.

The option, in full, would read: "I don't mind joining a dungeon in progress".

There's people who prefer, and ONLY want to join instances in progress, which is why we currently have this problem, and this threat exists. So the option should still be there, for the purpose you just mentioned, but they need to make people who queue for in progress content separate from people who join for brand new content. So those who wish to join a dungeon from the beginning do not have to deal with people who only want to join dungeons in progress

And no one will go from the beginning to make the parties in the first place. Why is this so hard to comprehend?

Wow what a prick. No wonder this community is going in the crapper with people like you around. YOU are one of the major problems here. YOU are the reason for this thread. I have been exactly like the OP before. 10+ cycles before the run actually starts because of asshats like YOU gaming the system.

It needs to be adressed, that is given. However I doubt SE will do it as they have said before, they have currently no plans to do anything about it. However it seems to be increasing so I think there stance might have changed a bit.

I disagree. Checking that box is basically saying "yes, i am willing to join an in progress dungeon," or "I am hoping for the oppurtunity to join an in progress." It does not mean "I will only join a dungeon that is in progress, and if it isn't at the boss that I want to fight I am going to withdraw."

Take a page from WoWs book and just don't tell people what they're getting.

Ummm, if anything we are taking too many pages from WoW, let's not encourage more bad ideas.

As i've said before in multiple threads, all they need to do is make "Join in Progress" ONLY join groups in progress. Simple. No need to hide information from the player.
