If the mob starts heading for the mages (usually me <.<) or someone is getting beat on too much then the BR is usually closed early out of frustration.
Yes, you could argue that the slower members should be excluded from doing the BR if they aren't capable because it is easy, but they are members of the LS and how can you learn unless you practice and try? I can't bring myself to be cruel enough to shun players that may not be up to speed or as quick to pick things up in game.

Also, kind of off topic a little bit, but a lot of people I know use controller and the command /br off is broken at the moment Yes you can close with the mouse or hitting "G" I think (?) on the keyboard, but it would be nice if they fixed this ^^
yes this was my line of thinking of what i dislike about a br. i am in the same boat where i have spent hours working with others teaching them the basics of br, but they are not as fast as me at calling them. i do not mind that much in big battles, but it would be much more enjoyable experience to not be locked out while waiting on them to select what they want. i have went as far as before each nm i see what people have and have a pretty generic macro that i alter for the members to be able to go in group for most effect.

if i was not locked into br mode for an extended time and allowed to continue dealing damage it would become much more enjoyable. that and say thunder + concussive blow = lightning strike or some other non lame name you would see the skill chain animation where the mage throws lightning on the pug for that added animation. then people would have both and would add class uniqueness because those attacks would have to be used by the class those are from not used cross class.

little fixes like these put in throughout the game in many spots would solve alot of the issues people are complaining about the game on imo.
