So Why Is It Always The DPS Who Withdraws?

[Pintsized]

So I've just done Navel (Story) for the first time and it took FOUR attempts to get a party through Duty Finder, every time it was one of the DPS who withdrew?

I of course signed up to this Duty specifically (as Healer) but I am assuming normally the other three players selected for the group are all using Roulette. Is it possible for someone to 'know' before hand the duty the Roulette has selected so they can drop out even before starting?

Given the fact I often see DPS complain about long queue times, not without reason I'm sure, I'm bemused why so many drop out when the queue pops.

[edit]

This is not at all the first time I've seen this effect, but it's certainly the most 'failed' pops I've seen in a row.

Not sure. I remember back when I was leveling my classes, if DF popped and it was a story-mode primal, it was like winning the lottery. All of the DF experience in 5 minutes.

It's because the DPS do have the longest queues, so they may end up doing something else while they queue, and then end up missing it.

I swear to god that that queue NEVER pops until I step away from the monitor to go to the bathroom. As soon as I do? BAM HERE'S YOUR DUNGEON LOL

Back when I was playing on my old, crappy laptop the queues would never pop for me until I changed locations. It would take forever to load into a new zone, and for whatever reason even longer when I was in a queue. So of course the moment I would decide to risk it and go somewhere it's pop on me and maybe 1/3 of the time would I load in quick enough to catch it, lol.

Or if you're partying with friends and one says "brb" or "afk for a sec." XD

I generally assume most of the time that they aren't choosing to withdraw.

The que times for DPS are usually a lot longer, so most of the time people tab out to read forums or whatever and miss the que pop.

The only other reason I can think of is if they were hoping to get an "In Progress", maybe?

[Roth_Trailfinder]

I've seen DPS withdraw, I've seen healers withdraw, I've seen tanks withdraw. You simply, through the luck of the draw, got four DPS that withdrew.

There are two reasons I can come up with for withdrawals. The first, is they are AFK. That's the withdrawal that you see them take forever to Accept, and they never do. The second is they are fishing for In Progress stuff. They don't know that you are trying to do The Navel, they figure they ar going to get something like Aurum Vale and would rather find something that has been mostly beaten to join.

No, you cant see which duty you'll get when going in with the roulette.

To answer your second question: I've got two theories - due to long queue times, a dps is more likely to let the timer run out because they went to do something else. And second: Say you have an hour on your hand, which is enough to run a dungeon, so you queue up and then... the queue takes ages. You're nervously keeping an eye on the clock, maybe begin to get ready for work and when the queue finally pops you have to choose if you can make a dungeon before work or not.

As main DPS,this is the truth.
