    Why do tanks just leave at the start of duties?

    Twice in Dusk Vigil, and once in Baelsar's Wall, all in a span of a few days. I'd load in, cast Protect, and they'd be gone. And that's if they weren't very quick about it.

    Why do tanks do this so much? I've never seen a DPS leave, and I'm usually the healer so obviously I don't see healers leave much. If they got put in a dungeon they didn't want while doing a roulette, why do the roulette at all? If you're considering quitting, why ruin the dungeon for those people by leaving at the start. Just don't do it at all.

    Is it really that difficult to just do the dungeon? Have they stopped to consider that it affects other people when they just leave at the beginning, especially considering how long it takes to get a tank in progress?

    And another question: If I manage to see their name before they leave, am I allowed to report this?

    You're allowed to report it, but it's not something they'll ever do anything on. Even if you don't see their name you could find it in the new-ish "list of the 50 most recent people you partied with".

    But yeah, don't report them; they're allowed to do that.

    Some Tanks leave if they don't like the content they are running. Or if skills are unable to be used. Or they hate a certain class someone is using. Can't do a thing about it either. If they leave first they'll eat a penalty though.

    They usually have the shortest queue times, and I guess to them eating a 30min penalty is nothing.

    This. Tank is close to instaqueue. In some cases they'll pull something in Roulette they don't like and just bail, eating the penalty. I tend to see this when the original Steps of Faith is pulled in Trial roulette. It can also come to standards. If they pull a large horde and the DPS doesn't down it fast enough, they bail, figuring they'll pull a more efficient group later.

    It's rude, and screws over the others in the group, but they simply don't care. It's all about the quickest and most efficient clear for them.

    Do the dungeon, obviously. 'Cause if you wait you still have to do the dungeon after.

    Why take penalty when tanks can just fake DC and get kicked within a few minutes?

    Why do players in general leave the start of duties? I see everyone leave.
