Is turning off game client and hope to get kicked to avoid penalty a thing?

[thunderbreak]

Just did Sastasha normal, didn't think it was possible but tank managed to wipe the party on mob pulls before first boss. Right after the rez at start animation finished I noticed both tank and healer has the D/C icon then shortly after they are both offline.

And of course either of them ever came back.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but my intuition tells me they are trying to cheat the system because I seen this kind of stuff before. I just want to make sure I'm not imagining things and other people seen this too.

It is totally a thing, unfortunately. If you suspect it, try to curtail the vote kick and force them to wait out the entire instance if possible.

Someone actually did this to my group in a PF World of Darkness run. I believe he is now on a few people's blacklists. lol

I'm pretty sure that happened to me yesterday. Got normal WP for hard roulette with a new person, and the tank disconnected after the first pull (nothing had even gone wrong but w/e). We carried on to right before the first boss and waited a few minutes longer but he didn't come back, so we dismissed and got another tank and got through it just fine.

Probably, but good luck managing to ever prove it.

That really is the problem isn't it. Maybe if enough people report these guys that can help with investigation.

Think about the witch-hunt this is gonna start tho. Just kick the person and move on. Blacklist em if you want.

That moment when someone has a bad connection, and has a legit DC after a botched pull. Happens a little more often than you think. So let's just report the guy who went offline after a pull, he's obviously avoiding penalty.

Even though my comment was saturated with sarcasm, this Is what proves my point
