    I generally try to avoid dropping group if at all possible. I am patient and give every group the benefit of the doubt, and I don't mind helping new players.
    I do have a few hard and fast rules though, as a healer:

    1) I will drop immediately if a tank starts doing a speedrun without asking me if I'm OK with it. I don't mind speedruns but speedruns are by far the most stressful on the healer and it is extremely disrespectful to just assume that I feel like doing it. Especially if the tank or DPS are undergeared.
    2) I give groups a few tries at bosses, but if it's very obvious that the DPS are relying on my healing to carry them through the fight, I will drop. I do not play this game to carry players who cannot step out of glowing orange circles.
    3) People repeatedly ignoring instructions and mechanics after they've been told multiple times what to do.

    Usually it's only on a bad day. I'd rather see something through until it comes to a vote abandon. Sometimes it's that tank that doesn't use any CD's, sometimes it's the DD that chaincasts Physick five times on themselves when I've already topped them off and gone back to out-DPS'ing them in Cleric Stance. I never know what pet peeve will escalate to nerd rage, but it's usually a good indicator it's time to quietly see myself out and spend some time on a single player game and come back with a level head.

    If in dungeons im getting trolled by 2 ppl ( tank & dps ) or ( dps & dps ). I ran gubal library once and these 2 dps would play so trollish like they wouldn't attack for like half a minute. Would spam emotes on me if i did / comfort on tank with misery debuff. They even made custom text emotes saying they felt sorry for me etc.
    ( no one was new to the dungeon too )
    So i stuck it out but later got kicked after the second boss for letting both dps die lol. We cleared the 2nd boss with ease ( just tank and i )
    The tank was silent so idk.

    I should have dropped but i tried to clear it despite the trolls. They cpte kick abuse so shame on me for trying lol.
    But yeah that would be the only times id actually leave.

    I've dropped group a couple times when people were trollin - others just from well people being bad.

    Bad in a sense this is a "farm" group and then no one knows what the boss does and are asking in chat what mechanics do what. yeah.

    I drop groups for name calling. My Au'ra was wearing revealing clothing because I really hadn't decided on my glamour yet and I didn't want to wear Dreadwyrm anymore, so I the moment I entered I got harassed and called names (Slut, Whore, Thirsty), I just kind of: "Have a good one! o/" and left. I'm not gonna run a dungeon with someone so insecure with themselves that they have to start calling me names due to character ... It just urked me enough to leave ... I felt bad for the one dps that was quiet (tank and other dps were going nutz on it) but I felt that I didn't have to take the abuse from them.

    Other than that... I try to stick with it... even with i180 dps making boss fights like 10m :'(

    Only time I've ever left was actually fairly recently, when the party kept wiping to the first boss of Wanderer's Palace Hard Mode because the DPS couldn't burn down the spears, and the newest episode of Hannibal had just come out. I chose Hannibal.

    Was a really good episode too.

    Accidentally forgetting to repair my gear and having Gear I can't field Repair due to not having ARM/GSM/BSM to 50.

    I deserve the lock out timer if i do this... usually drunk and late night.

    I do my best to go through dungeons and not drop. But there is one reason I always will.

    If you (generally speaking) decide to call me names, belittle me, or overall just be a complete a-- I will just leave. Don't need your negativity. You were a new player once as well, and if anyone tells you they never had a problem doing a dungeon or level, they are full of crap.

    Only time ive ever actually left an instance (not counting vote abandons) was actually recently. It was around when i first hit 60, and I was doing Fractal Contiuum for...the second time? Basically one of the dps kept stepping on mines (back when they took out most of your hp, unless that was just a result of lower ilvl gear, but w/e), and the tank wouldnt get out of blue spaces no matter how many times i told them to avoid them and they wouldnt go through with the abandon

    When people fail simple mechanics I will first vote kick the troll if that fails vote abandon if that fails leave and add trolls to blacklist.
