    DF Ragequitters getting out of hand

    Just today I ran Garuda a dozen times, and lost all 12 times. Main reason? Someone ragequitting after a single failed attempt, and in one case someone ragequitting as soon as another player said they were new to the fight. (literally didn't even make an attempt.) These people quit even when the party was doing well up to the point of the wipe.

    This is ridiculous. it takes about a half hour or more just for the duty finder to put together a group. All these people are doing is wasting everyone's time, because they won't suffer ppl new to the duty, or they won't participate with nothing but the best equipped, or most ideal party setup. Most of the successful parties I been in were successful because they were willing to work out flaws in the party, or forgive mistakes made by a new player.

    If you want a perfect party go to revenant's toll and form one yourself. Stop wasting our time.

    Developers fault really. Shouldn't have allowed DF groups past Ifrit HM.

    The funniest bit is I find those who complain about wanting smooth runs are the first to bail, and are quite often one of the firsts to die or do something stupid.

    Are Tanks still are a rare class? I remember in September Yoshi was saying we were a rare breed since everyone flocked to magic users.
    I ask because I'm a tank and still have most of the games dungeons to go through as I'm currently on Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak - I'm used to low to no Qs in Duty Finder.

    So far I havent had anyone quit over me been new to things or on quit on my first fail I assume thats because Tanks are still in demand lol.
    Its bad if people are quiting because of new players, it doesnt bode well for the community ot the games future, I mean whoes gonna sub to game that can't play after Lv?? because elitistes quit story event over you been new or still learning.
    It would just lead to a small audience and possibly and early end to ARR due to lack of profit - I'd let it run til it broke even if I were SE and subbs started droping.
    Perhaps a penilty of some sort could be leved on quiters within a certian time limit.

    Speaking of fails - sorry to anyone who ran Toto-Rak with me other night and my several deaths at final boss, I didnt realise the green glowing stuff was damge dealing AOE, I was looking for the red AOE marker :/
    Now I know the next run on Sunday will go much better!

    I got people dieing because they didnt hide behind the rocks, ragequit. Probably blaming the healer while doing so.
    I really would like a system that would leave out people from my DF if I put them in some sort of blacklist.

    It's too easy to quit as tanks and healers, all you do is wait 15 minutes, queue again and bam, you're in another group.

    They are. Even on level 50 stuff, queues go instantly.

    My personal favorite is the tanks that pull 3+ packs of critters, die, lose agro, healer gets killed followed by everyone else and then quit.

    I ran WP all day today and never pulled more than two groups at once... only had one run take longer than 30 minutes and that was only because our healer seemed confused by his job. My gear is trash but those runs go smooth because we don't do anything stupid.

    And yeah... "Don't screw up.", "Lets make this quick" and " don't fail" are code words for "I am terrible". Titan story mode tank says "Don't fail" and then went on to do everything wrong you could possibly do wrong including getting knocked off... while tanking.

    I try not to quit, but sometimes you have to when the party is going nowhere and unwilling to work as a team or follow instructions. very rarely do I leave a dungeon.
