What's up with the defeatist attitude ?

@ Kaethra - Very true and I agree with you completely. However, players also have come to expect SE to handle problems like this since there doesn't seem to be a way for the player base to find a middle ground.

I think that SE's best answer to the problem was the 30 penalty for jumping ship and that all they can really do.

Who knows, maybe SE has other tricks up their sleeve.

90% of the players that jump ship are tanks imo... sure a few times its dps, but mainly tanks for me. I've seen players jump ship the minute it says there's a player new to the instance, or after one wipe. In fact the other day doing GEX, everything was going well. .. and at the end with garuda at 10% life everyone wiped.... in a blink of an eye half the group left. And that was just on the first pull.... lol

Yes I've seen this too. I don't really understand it though. The first to leave still has to eat that 30 minute penalty so even a tank with an instant queue stands to gain nothing by quitting like that.

There are some tanks that develop a bit of a superiority complex as a result of their effective leadership role though. It's usually these ones (who are also often very vocal about their opinion of other players) that end up leaving first. I don't really get why but that's what I've observed.
