Roulette Abuse?

[Aled]

I'm not sure if anyone has had this issue as frequently as I have lately, but it seems that a lot of instances are missing a tank and/or a healer right from the start. It's as if they immediately leave when it's not an instance they like.

It has just happened to me for the tenth time today, and it's beyond frustrating at this point. I can't even finish loading into the instance before someone disappears.

I've even had a tank today say "nope!" at the very start of Haukke Manor and just drop out immediately.

I know emergencies and real life happen, but it's frustrating to wait almost half an hour as a DPS class only to have to repeat the process again, and again, and again with no progress.

Has anyone else seen this a lot lately? Surely there has to be some kind of countermeasure that can be put in place for the people that exit an instance almost immediately because they don't like it. Ideas?

I had this happen last night. Zoned into Halatali HM and tank just left. The SMN got out Titan and tanked up to the 2nd boss before we got a replacement.

I hate hate hate it.

It's frustrating! I'm trying hard to level my BLM, but it's as if I can't with the way the duty finder has been. I feel really bad for people that are just starting out.

Side note: just had it happen to me for the eleventh time today...

It's frustrating. And it's not helped by the fact that even with the desertion debuff, the tank who dropped will frequently still wait less time than the dps to find a new group.

However, if you have cooperative FC or LS members, then you can ask them to join your instance with the Party in Progress box checked, and there's a decent chance that they'll end up with your group.

Well i saw not only tanks droppin , but dps & healers too . Atm what i doing is taking screenshot right @start so i know who to report lol (ye lol i actuallt play tank , but i sick of dps or healers that insta dropping or leaving after loot/2nd boss u know). I posted somewhere my thoughts bout this already XD , i think time what left from duneon time to use as penality
Insta drop = 90/120min depend of raid/dungeon lmao
dropped ex after 1 attempt - okay get ur 55
That work for Brayflox too 75 ~ 80 after second boss is nice .
But.. for this need or remove vote to kick or rework somehow to prevent abusing as it is now ; ;

You don't incur a penalty for leaving in that portion, I noticed. And I think it's some kind of glitch o_o

It's happened to me too and it is frustrating, even when I play as one of my healers with the shorter wait time. People are so disrespectful of others' time.

Short story. I queued up for what I thought was Amp Township (I was really tired and not paying attention) but quickly realized I had chosen wrong when the Amp Keep cut scene began. Even though I had no desire to do Amp Keep, I didn't ditch. I stayed through the whole instance.

If it is in fact a bug in the system, hopefully it gets taken care of soon. If not, there should be something in place to discourage people from dropping immediately. It's something that too many people are taking advantage of and it negatively impacts other players.

I can't agree more how annoying it is to have to wait so long as a DPS to have to deal with this childish shit. I can't count how many times I've done dungeons tankless with my Titan Egi cause I refused to wait to get back into a DR/DF.

role a tank/healer or deal with it. at least they left and ate the 30min punishment rather than afk/trolling to bait a vote kick and re-q again.
