    A member has withdrawn from the duty... seriously?

    At first I didn't mind this as much when only a few people were doing it when I que'd for CT. It only made the wait time 3-5 min longer.

    NOW it's happening more frequently. I got the notification about ~50 ish times (yes I counted) until I got a party. I roll as a tank for CT so I get decent times but on my dps I get insane times that I don't even bother anymore.

    EVEN WORSE! I tried doing a duty roulette and this happened for like 15 minutes. Like seriously? even on duty roulette?! this shizz is getting outta hand.

    I've thought when I see it happen why the freak are you queing just to cancel when it pops. Especially if they are doing a random since you dont know what it is till you enter and even worse when its a specific dungeon. Basically why did you que just to leave it?????? as bad as those that enter pharos sirios and immediately leave when they see what dungeon it is

    And i will never understand why they dont like the Pharos Sirios....its not a hard DN at all, its one of the rare once in witch you need really to play as a team and all know what they are doing....maybe exactly because of that !!! Who knows but will be a shame if they are really going to nerf it.

    To the OP, welcome to the DPS world.....1/5 fo the time you play.....4/5 you wait and push the dam button to start the DN. I know very well how you feel, because i play only as a Monk.
    My opinion SE needs to stop doing half of the job and put unfinished system in the game....also i think they need to change the formula of the partys, if the tanks are really that rare they need to make partys like.....1tank,1healer,4dps. Less tanks and healers will be sued to creat a party and more dps wil be able to join. And in order to stop the withdraw i think they need to make it so that people witch want only to go in partys witch are in progress, should not be put in same waiting line as people witch are waiting to start a new party.

    They didn't fix anything; the tanks fishing for in-progress runs are still withdrawing whenever they don't see 0/1. If it's not where they want it, they either troll until they're kicked or just straight up leave. X/4 or 0/1 makes no difference to them.

    But OP, you must've been insanely lucky before the change, because it was definitely far worse for me. At least I'm not wasting 20 minutes on this withdraw garbage anymore (more like 5~10 now).

    Because 4 people who've never played together and don't have a decent means of communication are bound to be able to 'play as a team' right from the start.

    Yeah, right.

    PS is NOT the kind of content (at it's current tuning) that a random PUG-based system like DF should be expected to work.

    You're right on point! People just be fishin~ they don't care that it's 0/1. As long as they don't have to start from the beginning.

    I guess I was lucky~
    I do hope that SE finds a ways to fix this fishing issue. And by "find" I mean read people's suggestions that are on the forums (because there are a lot of great ideas on how to deal with this).

    I completely agree. It's too difficult to do with a pug at the moment. I've only been able to do this successfully maybe 3 or 4 times?

    I'm seeing this a lot with Roulette now too. Popped after a few minutes on DPS while waiting on a tank. Today, no exaggeration, 10 tanks withdrawing later I finally got in a CB hard.

    I was in cutters cry yesterday morning and for some unknown reason the healer left just before the second Boss. One dps just dcd and after a 'massive' five minutes the tank wanted to abandon the party. I said know. Why couldn't he wait 10 mins for a full group. So I would get a dps, healer , tank and each one would leave instantly because they didn't want to wait 5 minutes for a full group. This went on until there was 20 minutes left on the timer and the remaining members who had patience decided to abandon the party because it would be able to clear it in time.

    People complain about how bad people are in 'other MMOs in group finders but in my experience players in this game are just far worse and have no patience. There needs to be harsher leaving penalties and the vote abandon needs revised. If three players want to abandon a duty why can't they leave and the one who doesn't get to stay?
