Increase the Penalty For Those Who Leave After Getting Loot

[Geobryn]

soooo ... ppl sacrificing themselves, eating up the 30 min penalty, to allow more ppl to get loot faster and contributing for the fact that there is bigger chance that ppl will actually roll on the loot by leaving, after acquiring one for themselves, should be penalized even more ?
those ppl ... nono ... heroes should be rewarded for such actions ! for a start i would just remove the penalty from the Syrcus Tower ...
just yesterday one such hero left before the final boss and i was able to acquire my weekly loot just by killing one boss .. yes you read right, just ONE BOSS! ... and i doesn't have to bother with the ST for the rest of the week

You are actually funny, no serious you really are. The fact is and I dont know why people dont seem to understand this is: NO matter what they do players will continue to do as they are now. The question now becomes do you want to play your way or do you want the devs to tell you how you have to play?

No amount of penalty will stop players from doing what you dont like, all it will do is make the wait times longer than they cuurently are. There is plenty of hand holding in this game to be honest way to much it is time to grow up and deal with these things and not complain about them because in the end your not helping matters but gonna end up making things worse, meaning, as I said before 1. players will continue to do this regardless of penalty or 2. You end up with longer waits because players wont wanna run.

Oh on a side note do some hunts. If you say no I ask why not?

What can you do really? You cant hold the loot until the end of the dungeon because ... people will whine about it since its obviously going to inconvenience honest players as well who may run with a guild that doesnt mind or maybe had a real emergency. Cant really just up the penalty time for the same reasons. Not to mention any ahole can just go AFK until the others decide to vote kick so they wont get the lockout.

Besides, yeah, theyre jerks but its not that common or that big of a deal. The world doesnt need to be perfectly fair for everyone nor can it ever be. Push to much to prevent one thing and some jerk somewhere will find a way to take advantage of it. Like what if someone wins something then gets harassed by some dude and his guild friends who feel entitled to the drop knowing if he decides to leave at that point he'll get the extra long 4 hour penalty. That sound fair?

- It's not a sacrifice, it's a selfish move.
- The 30mn penalty is nothing because of all the available content outside dungeons/raids.
- If they leave, they actually open a new slot for a people without their weekly drop done to come and roll. The chance of looting something like, say, an oil, is then reduced for the rest of the group.
- Your personnal experience is not revelant.

LMAO. Wow, now I've read it all. So, being selfish, getting your loot and ditching everyone, leaving behind a party that may or may not get a competent replacement (who may not even care about the actual gear, as most people don't) is now being called a heroic act?

[ispano]

You obviously have no clue how the loot works in ST. If you win a piece after the first boss, you are physically unable to roll on anything else. So, the other healer in group has 100% chance of successfully obtaining the next healer drop. You doing what is right, and finishing the instance you started, in no way prevents someone else from getting their weekly loo. And yes, it is "douchey" of you to leave immediately after getting your drop, leaving everyone else short-handed.

Uh, they most certainly DO know how it works. Lets take their example. Healer piece from all 4 bosses. They take the first one. They leave and another healer replaces them. Now there are TWO healers that can roll for those last 3 pieces, not one. ie it's more likely that two of them get a piece instead of one and the other two hitting the floor.

This is precisely why it's not a selfish move. Like Monochromicorn's example tank or healer gear can get wasted if it drops 4 times and no one wants to roll for a secondary class. Meanwhile you're suggesting that the number of in-progress runs and people joining would be significantly reduced so you can have slightly better odds at rolling on a specific item, and you're calling other people selfish? Haha, the tags are pretty appropriate in this thread.

See my post above. I don't care what you say, you're never going to convince me (and apparently a lot of other people agree) that ditching the party after getting your loot on an early boss is a noble thing to do.

[ExKage]

Most people who run ST with me have always had the "wow loot and leave. ugh" type of mindset when I've solo queued and someone actually did that. What if the other healer wanted the other drop and they now have to compete with this new person? It's not a selfless move on the person who leaves. They're not doing it with the aim of helping others. They just see it as they got what they wanted and are now done.

I get a loot in the middle of ST? I stay until we finish the run and then I do.not.queue.for.ST.until.Reset.

Well for all of you that stick with it until the end after you got your loot.... bravo! Glad to call ya my fellow humans.
