What makes you drop a group?

[Jxnibbles]

By far the one thing I can't stand that will make me instant leave.
Is if someone has macros for all of the abilities. I was in wod one time and this other healer macroed everything.
All of her abilities were macroed I couldn't do it. It was one of two options A) I left B) I would kill myself by slamming my head on my keyboard.

As a player that use Duty Finder a lot, I rarely drop a group, even after multiple wipes. I don't know, I just like running content, especially dungeons.

Sometimes, though, I DO get frustrated when I decide to tank and I keep dying to the last boss each time due to new/fresh healers that die to mechanics.

Only thing that makes me leave is if it is super obvious the group won't be able to handle the place. Even then though I will still wait most times (if someone else leaves) for the group to fill again. Why? It's simple. I. am. dps. The wait times are so ridiculous sometimes it is just faster to wait for another person or two to come in and try to see if they will be effective enough to get us through the place. It drives me crazy though when it seems most people finally got the fight down and one more shot may get the kill, only for some impatient person to just up and leave. If it's the tank, half the time it kills the group altogether.

I dropped a group today during my first run of Qarn. I'd never run it before, and told the group so. Unfortunately, nobody in my group spoke English, so nobody could explain what was happening when a doom counter went up. The tank wasn't keeping enmity, so I was too busy dodging assaults from the boss and healing Final Stings from Wespes on the rest of the party to survey the area and see the stone that my FC tells me I'm meant to stand on.

I kept trying to ask what I was meant to do, but the only repy I got was "plz be good" and various /slap and /angry aimed at me. Last wipe was the tank not tanking, saying "I don't heal stupid."

So if there's a special mechanic I need to know for a dungeon, I can't figure it out, and the rest of the party is simultaneously becoming abusive and not helping me figure out the mechanic and we wipe repeatedly, I'll abandon. I might start reading up on dungeons before running them, though it'll take some of the joy of discovery from me.

Just watch MTcaptured's dungeon guide videos on youtube. She doesn't spoil anything story related and her videos are short and get straight to the point. Don't trust pugs to be useful or friendly.

Ither than Duty Abondon, I am usually never a quitter. Yet I leave duty on several occasions, most reoccurring:

1. When I tank, and a DPS goes D/C (unintentionally), I ask to wait for 3-4 min till he/she returns online or we can dismiss. But; both Healer and DPS vote dismiss. I tell them that I respect DPS waiting time and disrespect impatient people, good luck finding a tank to queue in-progress. I also do same when I heal.

2. As a tank, where DPS/healer tend to pull before I do and they insist on pulling. I say "I don't think you need a tank." and quit.

3. As a healer seeing tank pulling every mob (wishing he could pull the bosses too), when he isn't even properly geared up and don't want to do smaller pulls stating that he wants a fast clear (some even 1st timers).

4. When I usually joined 1st time extreme primal and I don't preform well, and I know I am bad. I apologize, admit my lack in my skills as a 1st time runner and I dont feel comfortable to waste more time of the other 7 who want to have fun. So I queue and repeat till I get it right without the guilt feeling.

Other than that, I'm a patient tank/healer. Always stand with the DPSs, especially if 1st time runner and doing their only and main class/job.

Didn't get to play yesterday, so I was hoping to get yesterday's dailies done this morning before reset. Got saddled with two slow dps and a healer with a taste for suicide. I can always tell when a dragoon sucks just by watching the threat meter: If I can hold aggro without using my threat combo, then he isn't even trying.

Whatever, I'm patient. It takes a while, but we made it to the last boss in Dezmel Darkhold, no wipes, and the healer only died twice. (The siren's call of glowing circles on the ground was too irresistible, I guess.) Kill this guy, then hope for an easy trial, nothing to it. Except the boss shuts us down harder than Richard Sherman on bull shark testosterone. Four wipes, all proceeded by the healer dying first and blaming her cat, then her lag, then her luck. I didn't get her fourth excuse because I was out of there faster than Woody Allen at a storm front convention.

Spent too much time in the dungeon, and the server reset while I was gnashing my teeth and not typing mean things in party chat. Man makes plans and God LAUGHS.

I drop a group if DPS/healers try to force a speed run or if more than one party member is a huge jerk.
I rarely ever drop out of impatience or due to multiple wipes. I stick it out to the end if I can but if I need to go somewhere in real life then I will need to drop if the dungeon is taking longer than expected.
