A party member has withdrawn...

[Doo]

Tanks only have two options

1) Register and see withdraws over and over.

or

2) Register in progress and be the one withdrawing but know you'll get in for sure and that you can skip.

Seems like a no brainer to me. I'm heading to the dark side!

For whatever reason, people in US regions spend so much time and effort trying to figure out ways to NOT play the game.

Do you have any data to back this up? Or are you just spouting racist bs?

[Aleczan]

So what youre saying is, they added "in progress" for rebuilding parties where people left.

The game is designed to run a dungeon from start to finish, in progress was added because this isn't always the reality and people WILL leave for whatever reason. This feature was used to replace those people, but abused by people trying to skip through dungeons. If this was intended, why doesn't this happen in JP servers? For whatever reason, people in US regions spend so much time and effort trying to figure out ways to NOT play the game.

Suicide speed runs,
withdrawl spam,
T2 enrage,
any other system circumventing crap is all stuff our region started

It is absolutely an abuse and must be prevented. However, I beg to differ about the Japanese servers. My friends play on Mana data center (Masamune server, to be specific) and they got this EVERYDAY.



Sometimes it is as bad as 10 withdraws in a row within the time span of 10-20 seconds. Sometimes the waiting person cannot even click the "commence" button before some bastard withdraw and make duty cancel. They have to sit there and camp the commence button, and repeatedly click on it like 10-20 times before a Duty would actually and eventually start without failure.

It is just sad (and outrageous) that a player would do this and make like 23 other people be aggravated about the duty ready that repeatedly fails.....

...so we can STILL see if the run is in progress or not? Way to fix completely nothing.

[Sinaps]

The only fix for this is make it blind 'In-progress' so the tanks can't see what the progress of the dungeon is OR remove or severely lower the myth reward. Until that is done I will continue fishing for easy CT clears for my 50 myth; simply because I can't stand to be in the same dungeon with you casuals for longer than 15min.

Which is why they should give out the Myth as we go. Every boss that drops a chest should also drop thier share of the Myth.

That, or I should just join the dark side, switch to my PLD, and play the jerk way SE seems to want us to.

it is not an abuse, as it is normally not just one player. what happens is that several players will queue up into a database table. as pt slots open, player 1 gets the popup, hits withdraw, then player 2 gets the popup and hits withdraw, etc etc until it gets to the first player who hits commence. in reality, people should be glad that they are hitting withdraw as it would take a lot longer if they just let it time out.

What is outrageous is that people who want to start from the beginning believe they have the right to have people who want to skip a boss or two be forced into a fresh run.

the ability to queue for 'in progress' only would prevent all the excess popups and make it so the fresh parties can start quicker.

which solves nothing after the player already hit cap and just wants their 1 item. do a full run 6 times + coil t1-4 and your at cap. if your item doesn't drop / get out lotted then we are back at square 0/1.

Considering in progress was designed to help the people who are in progress complete the dungeon I feel that it is outrageous that people think in progress is for them so they can skip part of the dungeon.

Believe me, most of us tanks don't do this for the shit CT gear, we do it for the myth.

Also....I would lose my shit if I have to run 6 full CTs to cap my myth.

[Sciwolf]

I'm amazed at the amount of QQ on this thread. To illustrate, I just got in CT with no problems. I queued and got in on the first try within a few minutes.

For the love of god, be happy with the game for just once. Stop the madness.
