    I think except for the complete elitests, this will help to stop the over abuse of Vote Abandon, that imo should never be in this game, unless someone leaves. This could also help with people joining parties in progress in case someone leaves. Give them the same rewards as if they stayed the whole time.
    It'll still be faster for experienced groups to just go back to echo content and farm the hell out of it. They'll gain the 'coins' faster that way than staying and helping lost causes get clears.

    I think if people keep leaving your duty finder instances, it's time to stop looking and blaming others.

    In other words experienced players are to carry new players through the game?

    How will that help. Instead you'll have new players in Hugh lev gear with out a clue on how to play the end game content and we'll have more variations of threads like this complaining about how content are too difficult, contents need to be nerfed.

    Most people do not give commendations. I solo healed a nookie group in Titan HM yesterday. 3 of the 4 dps were dead and reviving them was a waste of mana. The other healer got knocked off. Only blessing was the tank and the BLM. The three of us did an 8 man fight and guess what I was blamed by these oh so nice noobs why I didn't raise or heal them and to top it off not a single commendation.

    So I'll pass on wasting my time carrying people in DF. Use PF, ask your FC, ask friends in game. Stop expecting random to do all of the work.

    It's comments like this that make me lose any faith in Humanity. You shouldn't be looking at it as carrying people. But helping others. Geez are you that selfish. This makes me sad to be a gamer...

    And further more it's also comments of people with attitudes like yours that brought up this idea of a reward system..Cause most people don't like to do things for fun. (In a video game). Usually those people think you have to be rewarded for everything you do. So with that mentality why not reward the people who think they are wasting thier time carrying people as you say... With some incentive... to as I as (help others)....

    If you want to help people... then just go do it. Help them in your own way, on your own time, via your own means.

    The game shouldn't implement some official welfare rewards system (to smack on top of what's already in place) to help you achieve this or to promote incentive for it in others.

    Unfortunatly we already do. Kinda getting to the point of annoyance where every bad player whines and b*tches on the forums about "vet" players not teaching them. As I said in another post. Why should they? We don't pay to be a teaching/carrying b*tch for everyone who can't even read ability tooltips.

    @OP. nope
