Punishing divas who jump ship before a dungeon even begins.

I also enjoy AV. Funnily enough, I like them as both tank and healer.

Predisposed bias. So your contribution really doesn't help, does it? How about you chip in when we're discussing something you don't like, and then perhaps you can see both sides of the argument, rather than just being dismissive?

Why is it that so many of you simply refuse to give any sort of assistance to other players?

This is a game, not a job. When you're already spending an hour of each day's play time doing stuff you have to do, to gear up your classes, rather than stuff you want to do, why would you want to run an instance that you know will extend that time by almost double the amount?

Helping people is fine. I'm a tank, it usually falls to me to explain the mechanics in each instance as it is. But I also have a job and a life outside of the game - I don't have the time to waste. I'm rarely the first to quit if I do get an instance like Aurum, so don't usually eat a penalty as it is. But if there is one, I'll go run my hunts instead. It's a much better use of my time.
