The Duty Finder is not your personal Brayflox Hard myth farming service.

[SummonerSenah]

If people would actually just use Party Finder instead of DF, this wouldn't be an issue. Honestly, the Party Finder these days list several Brayflox HM myth farms so I don't know why they have to inconvenience people in Duty Finder in the first place. I mean if you get a group in Party Finder, you can actually FARM it. Do a run, get myth, abandon duty with no penalty, wash rinse repeat. But if they join DF and get a party that's not doing that, they either have to eat the penalty for leaving or get kicked.

I really... REALLY hope I'm the only person that has run into this.
I join Brayflox Hard through the DF looking to do some soldiery runs rather than all of the myth speed runs on my server. We finish the second boss and everyone starts running to the next set of mobs... except one guy.

Apparently too lazy/stupid to form his own group through the party finder for farming myth tomes he joins groups through the duty finder and then expects each group to either abandon the duty or kick him and then sit around waiting for a replacement to pop up.

This has to be one of the most selfish things I have ever seen the duty finder used to accomplish. There wasn't even a half ass attempt at a "my FC needs me" of "my house is burning down" cover story, he just plainly said he was only interested in the myth tomes and stood there until he realized we were going to drag his sorry ass to the boss whether he liked it or not.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i so freaking called this.

It seems odd, I mean you've gotten that far, why not jump ahead a b it more.

You can counteract it by adding myth on the final boss as well. Problem solved.

All tomes from final boss would be great

That wouldn't fix it at all as people would only want join in progress.
Though dividing the tomes between all bosses would fix it

Each boss could drop like, 15 myth, 10 Soldiery. You get paid only after you beat the 3rd boss. If you stay for the whole thing, you get 45/30. If you only stay for 2 bosses, and bail, you get nothing. If you join in progress and fight 2 of the 3 bosses, you get 30/20. Tomes are paid after the 3rd boss.

Easy fix merge it with the system and remove the tick option and now people must continue from whatever group they get end of story. It is the best fix. Ya people will whine about it and possibly hurt the DF more but it is a solution.

That pretty much stops people ticking the "in progress" option as they will now get less reward out of it, so GL for groups that needed that replacement if that is implemented.

I wanted to let you know that the team is currently looking into ways to counteract this behavior. If you encounter a player that is going AFK specifically in an attempt to be dismissed, please be sure to report this to the GMs.

So looks like they are only looking into people that wanted to be kicked by going AFK, doesn't stop people actively leaving.

They already get punished for actively leaving (30m delay before being able to requeue), if they ask to be kicked, or kick someone in order to be able to leave early, then they can be reported and get a GM visit.

Well couldnt the game just mark the account if you leave in progressed dungeons with a character so every X amount of marks you get for leaving dungeons in progress the devs will contact you or your account will be suspend for a few days. More of a silent stealth system that tracks your account and if your player that disconnects to leave a dungeon the game will make you do a internet speed check to make sure you still have a good internet connection, which in turn slows down the disconnecting droppers from getting back into the game. Of course legitimate disconnections will be affected by this but the speed check would help you also fix your connection because you will see where the problem lays in a sense of speaking. Also maybe disable Duty Roulette and/or force the Dungeon droppers to form a party to get into dungeons. May get a title under their name too called "Dungeon Dropper" so legit players can avoid them.
