My only experience of multiplayer outside FFXIV and a few other MMOs has been Resident Evil 6. In that game, if you linger, you're dead.

Obviously, there are always gonna be situations that require immediate attention (if your cat has come unplugged, for example) but you can't really blame SE for not programming raids to compensate for the fact that your chips were on fire.
