In regards to quitters

[Vanguard319]

There is a special place in hell reserved for you, or there should be.

Seriously, I've lost count of the number of people who quit a run at the drop of a hat. Even had one in a titan run who quit immediately claiming that most of the party wasn't geared for the fight. Most of the party was equipped with full Darklight gear. (I even had my relic body.)

Given how often this happens, I think SE should lock quitters out of the duty finder for upwards of 24 hours, depending how frequently they quit out of a duty, and how soon they quit out. This would pressure people to actually commit to a party once they registered for a dungeon run. Why should the people willing to work through a duty be punished because one person thinks they're too awesome to have anything less than perfection?

I've only had this happen to me twice...and I've been playing since beta....not that I'm disputing what OP said, but, is this really a dilemma? I've been seeing a lot of these posts lately....

lock for 24 hours?

what if ure a tank, and the dps in your party spamming his skills like hes the boss?

agroing any mob at his own will?

not following the mark youve made?

sure......................

mostly i quit because of that

The bad thing is its usually the worst equipped people in the raid that quit. It is because they know they are gimp and are not looking for a party to work on titan they are looking to get carried. But there are some legitimate reasons to quit parties is some really horrible players out there in the duty finder, worse then anything I have ever seen short of F2P MMOs even the dreaded WoW never had this bad of players not only in terms of skill but attitude.

I really think the 15min lock our isn't long enough for trolls.

It needs to get longer every time you do it over the Weekly reset.

I dunno Ive just wasted 45 mins because I had to quit . There is no gear score in this game , but having run AK over 100 times I have a good idea of what gear it takes to dps the wall .

When you inspect healer and dps and they are wearing crap lvl 48-49 crafted gear no materia in slots for the purpose of lving it up and melding it , I insta quit . Sorry not 25 mins slugging through trash only to fail on wall because dps is not geared.

Then I get another group and DPS start pulling everything they can see around the area before first boss , basically 2 groups plus the 2 giants , 1 dies pretty much insta gibbed , and I just leave before wipe . See tanks can pull too , pulled a dick move and quit.

The 3rd group, inspect healer , he has fairy , and yep crafted gear again .. I say , I hate fairies and leave .

P.S ( got nothing against crafted gear but wearing lvl 48-49 gear in a lvl 50 dungeon and not even having sockets filled is just trolling )

24hrs is to harsh. And just to let you all know there is a way around the lock out so I don't care if they made the lockout 72hrs anyone can bypass the lockout just have to know how.

I'm sorry I don't abuse the leave duty finder much but when I do I have a pretty good reason. I shouldn't have to be forced into staying with a group of people who cannot win a fight after so many tries. And I'm not going to sit and wait for someone else to leave or wait for time to expire.

I didn't realize Hell had openings for video game ragequitters JK

^ That. I'm sorry, but I don't think OP or anyone wants to stay with a group of players who cannot beat battle/boss X after so many failed attempts. I usually give up to three chances to beat a boss with a party. After that, I just cut my losses and move on. It's a waste of everyones time.

If there is also a d-bag trying to aggravate the party, I usually don't tolerate that either - nor do I think anyone should, especially if you are playing as a tank or healer.

?
Are you saying you don't run with sch in crafted gear, or just don't run with sch? Because AK with a good sch is cake; they're great on wall.

Let's consider a possible future scenario:

1. OP suggests DF leaving penalty to be changed to 24 hours.
2. SE reluctantly gives in and changes penalty to 24 hours.
3. People who want to quit now go AFK or troll the dungeon until someone else takes the leaving penalty (or d/c their router. Though I'm not sure if that still gives you the penalty).
4. New thread on forums complaining about number 3.
