Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Not gonna call ya the worst person ever like some of the others, but I do wanna say -

You can't kick someone for 5 minutes after the dungoun starts (they can't boot you right away)

Usually if you're polite and just ask politely to be removed, most people will oblige you. The reason doesn't really matter, just say there's something else you need to do if that's the case - only the truly spiteful will try to hold you ransom in a party (And at that point you can do what you like.)

I didn't know that. I figured they would be able to remove me after a minute like in other MMOs I have played.

You're abusing (even if by accident) other peoples good will, I've never seen anyone get booted in less than 5-10 minutes for AFK. People will wait for you so the least you can do is be up front with them and tell them you're not doing the run. Especially if you're the tank or healer.

Well I would try to kick someone as soon as I was able if they were offline.

Which is also not cool. Kicking someone who dc's asap is lame.

I find your attitude a little comical, after creating this thread:

I just had a Void Ark group vote abandon after 1 single wipe because 5 people left. Rather then wait to refill they voted to abandon wasting my time and that of those who hit no.

I recommend that they just flat out remove the penalty from leaving a duty in progress if one boss is dead and remove vote abandon from the game.

I would rather be inconvenienced by people leaving on their own than be FORCED to quit the duty I signed up for just because some others want to quit.

While pulling that stunt as tank, which pretty much forces people to abandon. Those dps that waited forever in their queue time, just to have the spoiled tank ditch out...

Yea don't worry about it

You also can't vote abandon until 15min after dungouns star. I really hate these restrictions

Forcing someone else to abandon ship is a pretty big difference then abandoning ship yourself. So bad comparison.

I was in a party with someone like you once. Was Darkhold and one of our members (the tank I think) dc. Not even 30 seconds had gone by before a vote kick popped up. I voted no but they still got kicked. I promptly left the group after that and hoped to God they didn't get any replacements. (I was the healer, felt so sweet)

I just left a group for copperbell mines just now on my warrior, eating the 30 minute debuff.

At first when I entered I saw it was copperbell mines so I purposefully logged off hoping they would just kick me. I hate that place.

I logged back on 10 minutes later and AMAZINGLY they still didn't kick me.

I said somewhat awestruck "You didn't kick me"?

And one of them said "No you must have disconnected" and another "We had faith".

So I just chose to leave the group. They should have just kicked me and saved some time.

Surprisingly a lot of people who run DF actually aren't actually selfish jerks - imagine that...

This is also pretty awful, especially if your internet decides to screw with you.

How about instead of dwelling on the past, moving forward you act less selfishly? Remember you aren't the only one playing; your time isn't any more important than the rest of your party's.
