    What I find silly is that those who wipe the group, or leave before the boss, or vote abandon do not understand one simple thing:

    Killing the boss does not save progress. Using the exit portal saves progress.
    People won't understand that because

    1) the game never outright tells you you can do that
    2) Nearly every other dungeon/trial in the game is considered completed as soon as the last boss dies, NOT when you hit the exit. This is why you often have people who open the Duty Finder menu to exit a completed duty after the boss dies, rather than have to take a few extra seconds to run to the exit.

    To me it's perfectly understandable and justifiable why people don't get it.

    The best thing they could have done to remedy this was to put an option on the exit allowing you to exit without saving (in other words, giving up your progress as if you had just left the duty or wiped or whatever).

    The reason most people are wiping groups at floor 50 (or refusing to continue at floor 49) is because they are under the impression that if that boss dies, they are boned and have to start again from floor 1. They don't even realize that there is a way to not save their progress even after the boss dies. Until it's spelled out for them (or until a good chunk of the RNG factor is removed), I fear this behavior will continue :/
