Leaving party against TOS?

[Noahlimits]

Hi! I was in a party last night (duty finder) and one of the members was being sarcastic/a jerk. It was just WP run and he was complaining where I was tanking the boss. The basic TLDR is that I said I had no problem leaving if he didn't like how I was tanking. He responded with saying that he'd report me if I left the party. This made no sense to me, as from my knowledge leaving a party for any reason isn't against the TOS, he was stretching it saying I was impeding his gameplay (even though he said he could reque or replace easily in 15 min).

I then asked if he preferred I stay in the party and idle, because I didn't want to play with him and rather just leave and reque (tanks have short reque anyways). He then said he'd report me for idling, basically threatening to finish the dungeon 'or else'. I said "fine, I'll leave in a few minutes (was talking to my LS about if he could report me for leaving the party)" when he just said "reported", along with other obnoxious remarks.

I could understand reporting someone if they were idle for a long period of time (which I wasn't.. I never even went idle), but can you really report someone for leaving your party? I inquired using the 'ask question' to a GM function, and they suggested I post in the forums here for moderator comment. Knowing I was reported for idling (which I hadn't ever stopped discussing or talking with him), I reported him back since he was actually harassing me the entire latter part of the first boss (including threats when I wanted to leave the party).

Any info would be helpful! Thanks.


Edit: My final question to anyone reading is: Can you get banned for any of the above? Or is it a 'go to jail' type of thing? If so, do you know how long you have to be suspended / in jail for? Thanks!

if only this forum would allow such a simple response, but to the point...


no

Um, no, you cant get banned for leaving a dungeon. Everyone has left a dungeon at some point.

Just, NO !

I think he was just trying to scare and coerce you into staying in the party. I wouldn't worry about it since you didn't do anything wrong. Just another one of those typical obnoxious duty finder jerks who have nothing going for them IRL, so they take their anger out on online people LOL.

I don't think anyone should stay in a party if there is a person like that inside of it. Since you're a tank, you have an easier time to get an insta-queue while that angry jerk has to wait 30 mins+ just for a new DF party.

All it takes is one idiot to ruin the fun for an entire party's success.

Just report him back for harassment and move on, if it happens again.

no

That's what I thought. I have no idea why the 'ask a gm' thing said I had to ask the forum moderators for an answer when a simple yes or no would have been good.

On that note, has anyone ever gone to jail for 'harassment'? How long did you have to go for?

Honestly, think about what you're saying for a minute. Why would you get banned for not putting up with some douche bag? Leaving because you're not being treated right isn't a form of griefing, in fact the person that made you leave has far more of a chance of banned if anything, all you'd need to is report him right back and you'd actually have a solid story right along with having a chance to get rid of the ass.

Never heard of a single one reported being afk, sitting waiting someone leaving, or anything at all going to jail/being banned. Still surprised how that ticket was handled and why no moderators posted here?

About the topic, he was an angry funny brat about report you about leaving, but he was right to report you if you was being idle sitting instead of play.

He did way worst, harrassing you. So fill a report for harrassment. Oh well, youre not banned right? Don't expect he will be banned neither. Talking about GM service

Leave the party report him and move on. Keep it simple .
Going to need to do the square route remember the name and guess what server there on also Then Pray you got the right name and server there from. It is lame there no option do it simple. Halo 2 fixed all that 10 years ago.
Ps. Sucks though there not a big penalty for the trolls that leave the party.

You can't be banned for leaving a party you don't want to be in. Anyone who talks like that is just trying to intimidate you. Your gameplay is being disrupted just as much being in a party you don't like as theirs is by your leaving.
