So wait. People are seriously justifying only joining runs that are almost done? Seriously? And then people complain about elitists and what not.....

Yes, I have in progress runs tagged. Do I do it to increase the chances of a queue? Yes. Do I do so I can join groups that are almost done? No. If I see a WP run on 0/3 or 1/3 I don't go "pffft, not almost done enough for me", I simply join them. Almost all the time their healer either quit right away because they didn't like the gear (yet the run still goes smooth enough lol) or they DCed somewhere.

People using this system to get into runs where a tank/healer DCed/had to leave just before the final boss are just being jerks. Nothing more, nothing less and they really shouldn't be trying to justify their behaviour. If you really don't have the time to complete a full run, gtfo mmos. If you only want to do the last boss and get full rewards, once more gtfo mmos. They're clearly not meant for you.
