    People leaving the instant a dungeon pops

    I am normally a tank main so dungeon times have never bothered me. However, I have been trying to level Monk for almost a week now with almost no progress. At least 2 times a day I end up waiting 30+ minutes for a dungeon queue, only to have the tank and/or healer leave the instant we get in.

    Seriously, there needs to be a 12 hour lockout for this. If something comes up where you can't join the dungeon, you should just withdraw when it pops. There's no reason to accept it then immediately leave. That just screws everyone out of their queues. There's no reason I should constantly have to queue multiple times (waiting 15-30 minutes each time) just to run a single dungeon.

    There are already threads on this and you must be extremely unlucky because that rarely happens to me and I run a ton of content. The 30 minute penalty is more than adequate.

    Remove the Aurum Vale from roulette, or change it to lv.50 dungeon. Problem solved.

    Yeah, as a healer main it really sucks trying to level up Machinist/Black Mage/Summoner. Takes forever to get into a dungeon and there's at least a 20% chance someone'll insta leave (and it's ALWAYS the tank). At least there's no penalty for leaving after stuff like that, though.

    I understand people hate Aurum Vale, but that's rarely the one that it ever happens in (I only ever get it if I queue for leveling and someone happens to want to run it to level). I really don't understand why this happens so often, and I promise I'm not exaggerating. The thing is, if you enter a queue then accept the instance when it pops, you have opted to spend the next 20-60 minutes in that dungeon. There's no reason to instantly leave before anything even happens. 30 minutes is not near enough in my opinion. I'm getting a 30 minute penalty as well in that case because I'm having to re-queue since the person screwed me over. If it's an emergency, that's fair enough, but it's extremely rare that life would go 0-100 in less than 30 seconds like that. If it did, the game is the least of your worries and you likely wouldn't be on for another 12+ hours anyway.

    30 minutes isn't enough but I think more than an hour is a bit overkill for the first offense of the day.

    You know what really pissed me off the most? When I level my THM or any dps classes, the moment there is a message says there is a new player in duty, people leave at the beginning.

    I haven't seen this too much, but it does happen. I always get excited when someone is new, mostly because I remember my first time running dungeons and the fact that depending on the instance you can get bonus tomes.

    Then I hope you enjoy people going afk in your dungeon.

    To be honest I don't really care much about bonus... I only want to help the new guy clear the content since we all had our first time in every dungeon.
