In regards to quitters

I saw this for the first time yesterday. The tank left at the third pull of AK. Didn't say a word, just bounced. How is anyone supposed to fix what they did wrong if people just leave without at least attempting to address it?

To be fair, you don't know the exact reasoning the tank left unexpected yesterday. For instance, I was doing Titan runs yesterday with my FC and had to leave unexpectedly as tornadoes ravaged my area of central Illinois. Maybe your tank left because he/she was a d-bag. Maybe there was a legit issue, like mine.

There's not fix SE can do either way. Closest "fix" is to make the dungeon in progress a default. Heavier penalties for leaving won't do anything positive but cause more people to just AFK (until a vote kick is in place....even then, vote kicks have their own issues). The only real fix is making groups with your friends and/or FC/LS people you know.

No, I don't. But that's exactly my complaint. A quick "/p emergency guys, gotta go" would have been good enough though. He had time enough to open the df menu and select leave, so I don't think a quick notice to the party was too much to ask.

Though I agree with you (hell, I stated it over TS as the emergency sirens were going off), it's DF. Courtesy, friendless, etc....are often lacking. SE will not have a way to solve the DF mannerisms. I doubt the upcoming prestige/voting system remedies the general asshatclown-douchebagginitis.

We had one wipe in HM Garuda last night due to a new tank learning placement. A DPS leaves. You can not refill those spots and otherwise it was a great party. That needs to be changed.

I also wish the primal trials could be replenished.

I've had to do that before too. I have 4 kids, all boys, they hurt themselves often... when one comes out with a bloody nose, I let the party know and that it takes priority, apologize, then leave. Communication is key, even if you are on a PS3 and no keyboard, you can still communicate. If you dont say you are new, how do we know to teach you the fights (had a fun 3 runs with PUG ifrit where the same PLD tank kept comin in and not stunning once...)
