Addressing Leechers in Crystal Tower

[Velocy]

Hello everyone,

doing the weekly CT runs I've encountered a lot of "Leechers" in the past weeks. Players often participate in first fight(s), but as soon as the first "loot yielding" Boss is pulled, they stop.

Especially yesterday in CT1 we were a premade Party of 5 People and had 3 Leechers with us. From the time the first Boss (Dragon with Skeletons) was pulled they went on autofollow on someone and stopped participating in any fight. The onliest thing one of them did was opening the treasure Box as quick as possible.

Since you are unable to kick People while loot is up or mid battle we had no Chance to remove them from the duty since it was either battle preventing us or the loot which they did not roll on. The onliest possible window to kick them would have been between a bosses death to the opening of a treasure chest, which 1 of the leechers literally "camped". A solution would be: Lower the Loot Timer to 120 Seconds. It would be nice if this issue could be addressed.

Huh, never happened something like this yet..... the only thing in CT1 for now i get is the fact people don't like to follow mechanics O_O

I've met those leechers. Majority BLM. They only put some damage to boss and then stop attacking.

tell your alliances to wait until you can kick them. if they refuse to wait then tell your party to stay out of the boss room. if the alliances get wiped you'll have time to kick the leechers anyway.

Yeah, just boot 'em. Then report 'em, especially if this is a recurring thing.

Asking the fellow alliances should work fine; I'm sure they would be glad to get rid of people like that.

Report? What? Good luck.

Don't forget how GMs have said they won't punish someone for "having a different playstyle".

AFKing and mooching is a playstyle.

Not according to this GM i talked to when I reported someone in WOD who refused to help the party but would gladly roll on loot.

THIS SO MUCH.

I'm sick of seeing ppl who leech CT runs because it's "weekly". Don't do it if you can't be bothered to help out.

And let us kick them, waiting 4hrs for new kick if ridiculous. (and I do in a way understand why it's 4hrs but c'mon. People abuse this even more now.)

Ya I see this in ST all the time. The boss encounters are so close to each other, that if you keep going at a regular pace, the loot doesn't drop until the next loot is avail. But like the others have said. Tell the alliance you have one of these people, and need a couple minutes to boot them out. Sense just about everyone has experienced this, most people are more then willing to wait. They could make it where you can't open the next loot box, until the previous loot was lotted on. With some kind of delay. But I think the community can handle this one. Just don't be afraid to ask the alliance to wait. Usually at most they will have to wait a minute really. By the time you get to the next boss that drops loot, that's about how much time would be left on the loot clock.
