People leaving the instant a dungeon pops

[Litegrace]

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.

Why do people hate AV so much? It's really not that bad and gives tons of exp.

Enemys are bricks in there! >_> and they do high damage too! Not to forget those boss's. new people will have problems with them -> party wipes -> rage quits

I'd imagine because people don't know how to Dodge AoE.

The last thing they should do is removed one of the best balanced dungeons in the game.
If you're reckless, you suffer consequences. Something that only otherwise exists in savage. Every other dungeon more or less hands you the win.
Whereas if you play the AV smartly, you can get in both a quick painless run not any slower than any other dungeon, but with some of the biggest exp rewards relative to its level.

We need more dungeons where cunning and experience pays off.

I completely agree with this. However, I know that if new dungeons are implemented that are similar in design to AV people will bitch up a firestorm about it. The only solace we could hope for in that scenario is if they just continued to release dungeons like that until we just squeeze the face-roll dungeons out the back end and are left with only the actual AV-like dungeons for people to play at relevant item levels. Basically, once we got to that point it would become the new norm to have actual interesting dungeons and the moaning would hopefully have died down by that point (probably 5.0 or 6.0).

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.
