    Join in progress issues (not ak)

    When a player leaves a instance and we try to replace it works decently.. but if more than one person leaves such as a tank and a DPS.. it will search for both and have them join asap instead of waiting to get both for a full party.

    So what happens is the DPS spot gets filled crazy fast than we wait for what seems like forever for a tank. Now this poor soul of a replacement has wasted all his time .

    Please make the system fill all roles needed before grabbing them in.

    put some respect to tank, thats all...

    because its not easy to play/hold your mental as a tank...

    people gear checking you for example, there is this guy who check my gear and said "im not enough to complete AK", i really loled at him, because i already completed AK like a dozen times, i still remember his name

    then, 2 people teaching me for stun/silencing, while im always use my stun and silence when the time comes, but you know, its not spamable, so maybe i missed one or two, i loled again at those two

    plus... this new kind of community... aw man, its complete disaster lol...

    put some respect to the tanks and maybe a lot of new tanks will appear

    Umm that's not what I'm talking about at all.. I'm talking about the system making the group full before pulling players in from join in progress. The same can go for healers and DPS if not enough hit the button.

    Two nights in a row this happened to me. The first night we lost our whm. We decided to keep going. I pulled titan out to help the tank and we made it to the first boss. We actually beat him....and we made it all the way to the demon wall before we got a replacement whm.

    Last night, it was the tank. Once again I pulled titan out and we almost made it to the first boss before a tank popped.

    I'm not sure the process is the problem. Many tanks do not "join in progress." I don't blame them really. There is a high percentage chance that there is an issue of some sort.

    I think there should be an incentive to join in progress.

    I tried "In Progress..." joins and never again.

    When I was waiting for the first one as CNJ I thought. "Why would the CNJ in a party be gone? Was the tank/party crap?" Sure enough ended up in a Longstop run that had not passed the first boss because the tank was a total bag of fail. DPS said it was their 4th try. Tried it once more just to see if it was dumb luck and again. Another party where the tank couldn't find his ass with both hands and a map.

    Joining "In Progress..." sounds good on paper but in practice it only causes more rage.

    Not to mention its bug where people click the "Find more players..." button AFTER the run is COMPLETELY done.

    That bug is one of the ones being addressed with the Hotfixes on Monday.
