And ok that's a good enough excuse to leave a farm party if someone is tired.......but lashing on a practice/clear party that has newbies on the team who're learning the fight is a bit stupid when by all means they should know what they're getting themselves into before clicking join
Maybe they didnt want a 5-minute break but were just done for the evening - I know that I've used wipes as a point to leave before.
You're saying they were salty? But yet they didnt say anything? Or rather what I'm asking is: Did they say they were leaving because of the wipe or did they just left without a word? If its the later you dont even know if they left because of the wipe - or because they had made up their mind about doing a fixed number of runs, but didnt communicate that with the party.
Sure, a "I'm done for today, thanks guys" is always nice, but I dont see extreme saltiness in just dropping out if the party wasnt super-chatty.

Two ideas in regards to the other scenario:

1) The person who drops out right away was hoping for an easy carry.
2) The person who dropped out wanted to help with the clear, but noticed that the rest of the party was nowhere near clearing. I've joined "clear"-parties for Tsukuyomi in which people messed up positions for gun and spear. In the first phase. Several times. We wiped in the first phase in something that was supposed to be a "clear". Depending on my time and mood, I'll leave those parties - maybe not directly after one wipe, but if someone wants to clear the encounter or help with clearing it and it becomes very clear within the first few minutes leading up to this wipe that the group in question actually needs (a lot) more practise, I dont blame them for leaving.
Lashing out at them is obviously not okay, but when I join a clear-party what I should be getting myself into is a group that knows the fight well enough to reach the end. Mistakes will happen, sure thing - but if what I'm getting is a party that struggles with early mechanics, its not what I signed up for and I'll leave, telling them to be more honest about how well they know the fight and form a practise party first.
