So yeah... when tanks run off as soon as the barrier drops, it's really off-putting.
So, one super fringe scenario which could have been resolved by a quick "sec"? You don't need to type out "Dear sirs/madams, I would like to apologize to everyone. A person has shown up at my door and pressed the button that makes a ringing sound. This person is delivering a package which I ordered a few days ago and due to the content it needs to be signed for, therefore I cannot just let them leave it on the porch. I'll only need 2-4 minutes to go to my door and grab the package and sign for it and then I will be able to return and we can get this dungeon started. I hope that everyone is ok with that."

Just:

"sec"
"back sorry, door."

Also, has anyone noticed healers not wanting to heal much these days? Like to the point of just straight up letting you die sometimes?
I mean, sure, WAR is meme tier self-healing, but I'm not playing a WAR, and in my experience even WAR needs the DPS to be chewing through the packs at a decent clip in order to actually get away with not needing a healer.
Create a roulette party finder. People will join, you can talk to them, you'll get them through multiple dungeons and can really sit there and socialize instead of building a rapport with someone who will be gone and out of your life in 15 minutes.

Also, is the second part of this post troll bait or something?
