Mythos Farming Are Toxic

[Rbstr]

Getting a little tired of people spamming the word "toxic." Ever since that LoL article it seems to be an increasingly overused "buzzword." (I'm of the mind that "buzzword" is a "buzzword" also, but it is what it is.)

I find it highly amusing how buzzwords and concepts roll through this forum on something like a biweekly period.

Leaving abruptly, without any forewarning such as "I have an emergency, have to leave", could be seen as a form of harassment to other players. It's a type of griefing. SE aren't full of idiots, they know that Brayflox is notoriously known now for the Speed Run potential it has and if someone leaves after the second boss of a Brayflox HM, that's a flag. Now, they may not do anything, but if it becomes a consistent occurrence, then that would be worth looking into and dealing with the player for interfering with other player's attempting to complete a duty as intended.

Actually it's more about them kicking someone so they can leave after the second boss or using abandon, not leaving on their own.

10 runs of those? How do you get 10 runs that quick? That is like a least 10 hours of dungeon time isn't it? An then you have 30 to 60 minutes of waiting time so like 20 hours effectively. I can't barely squeeze in the beast daily and 1 low level DR a day. I really don't know how these people can max out so fast.

If you'r lacking time, queue up for Expert roulette as a healer or tank, not as a dps.
This way you ll get in much faster (usually withn 30sec as a tank).
Then only do 1 expert roulette a day which will give you 45sold +25 daily bonus.
This way you ll only have to clear 6-7 expert roulettes for the whole week (6 if you can get another 30 somewhere else).

Regardless what SE has already said on the subject, they SHOULD convert extra SLD after you cap in a given week into Myth. This would be the best solution IMO.

I know it's been said like 500 times, but... couldn't use Party Finder to set up your own parties? i see a lot of PF telling "full run" on them, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, sucks if you find this kind of idiots on Duty Roulette, but... "wasting the soldiery bonus"? you don't waste it until you complete the dungeon. If you don't complete it the bonus doesn't dissapear.

I see equaliy many saying "Myth farming". Honestly, when you enter a duty via duty finder show your fellow gamers respect and do the entire run.

Report them. Let them waste even more time while banned.

Sadly it's not against TOS. When I asked in game previously, they basically said nobody is aware of what real life situation is happening with any given player, and a player has a right to leave a dungeon for any non harassing reason at all (hence the debuff timer). If he directly said "ha, got my myth, later suckers!", then yeah, you can report him. Or if they did vote abandon when there was absolutely nothing wrong with the run. Reporting him otherwise will do absolutely nothing.

You can try to claim he's harassing you on purpose, but there is no way to prove intent unless he said something, even if it's glaringly obvious what it most likely is.

Perhaps SE should look at how other MMOs are handling this issue, I don't recall this being a problem in Rift, WoW, Tera, DCUO or any of the other MMOs I've played.

No, in WoW they instand has abuse of vote kick than people leaving :P Average WoW raid: Kill first trash pack > Kick lowest DPS > Kill first boss > Kick lowest DPS > Kill next boss > Kick lowest DPS > Kill next boss > Kick lowest DPS > Engage final boss > Kick lowest DPS > Kill final boss.

But I agree, they should reward myth at the end aswell. Issue right now is that there is no reward for most players at the end of the dungeon.

In WoW everyone that queues up is automatically put in an in progress queue. If you kill 1 boss though there is no penalty for everyone. When expansions come out and people are trying to gear up for the first raid with dungeon gear often they will just leave after the boss they wanted gear from is killed, but then a replacement is found quickly since everyone is in the in progress queue as well as the fresh run queue and the game prioritizes in progress over fresh run.
