    It happens with work, I've been in management for a long time, it goes the same way. If an employee calls into work saying they're sick, or they have to take someone to the doctor, family, pet, etc. Fine, if it's just a random thing that has never happened before, myself and other companies I've worked for have let it go.

    Now, let's say that same person makes a habit of calling in, once-twice every few weeks, typically on a consistent basis around a certain day (like Friday), or right after pay day. Then that becomes a behavior issue and that turns into discipline, often times resulting in termination for failure to do their part, which is show up for work.

    So, with that mind frame. If someone consistently "disconnects" or "has to go for their ill mother" after the second boss of Brayflox, often, then that person is lying. Or, simply has really, really bad luck. Either way, it should be dealt with the same way. It may frustrate and anger that person, they may infact decide to leave the game entirely, either feeling that they were unfairly punished, or, that they cant get away with their behavior any longer. It's a fifty fifty, but the deciding factor is, consistency.

    The difference here is you dont pay your employer to work for them, they pay u! lol ! This is a videogame which we pay for as a service. Not a very good example but i get where you are coming from. All in all, this is not the workplace. Its a digital fantasy world, a videogame. People need to treat it as such.
