Remove cooldown for abandoning World of Darkness please

[Skivvy]

I love getting World of Darkness specifically because of the death and chaos it normally brings. Suuure, smooth, mindless runs are nice, but it gets so dull day after day. I also love Dun Scaith for the same reasons.

But no, I don't think the timer should be removed. Chalk it up to a loss if you feel it's not worth your time to see it through.

It's an alliance raid, an ancient one at that. I kinda doubt you encounter all these instances that are failing. They're super easy.

I've had far more full on wipes to WoD than any other alliance raid in this game. Even Orbonne before it got nerfed. However, if mechs in the more recent alliance raids were ignored like they are in WoD, they would be a problem too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying WoD is difficult, but a lot of players go into WoD thinking you can skate through it like MSQ roulette, or the previous two CT raids. However, every single boss in WoD will give the entire alliance a really bad day if their mechs are ignored. This dev team can be kind of weird like that. Cid's Duskblade in Orbonne is essentially the exact same mechanic as Ancient Flare on LoTA. It is actually less demanding mechanically than Ancient Flare (requires less players to obey, and less distance to travel to safety). Yet, Duskblade is what got nerfed because for some reason players couldn't grasp it. This explains wipes in WoD in a nutshell. Easy raid, sure. Also really easy to screw up too.

Hello World of Dankness my old friend,
I've come to watch your wipes again!

Guys, maybe OP is onto something. Maybe devs have finally implemented skill based roulette queues, which is why he has been queued up with other bad people the 21 times that they abandoned duty.

The only time I've ever had to abandon WoD was when seven people dropped immediately as soon as they loaded in, followed by four more dropping when they noticed. All of the tanks and healers were among them. There were no first-timers, so we all just agreed to drop and try again.

3 wipes in 5 minutes on first boss because even after being told what to do, nobody was doing it.
I see 1 in 10 WoD runs that actually reach the final boss AND down it.

What? In 6 years I've done it many times and never seen a failed run of WoD ever. I've seen a wipe or two occasionally but it's still a clear.

There isn't a problem with it. If there is a wipe then explain the mechanics.

I'm a fairly new player to FFXIV and I have ran that raid a quite a few times and have never had one problem with people leaving. Now I'm not saying you did not have the problems you had. I just did not think it was all that hard, a few wipes to learn and then it went well.

Buddy, it's about to get a whole lot worse with the stat squish.
