And then the WoL who cant defeat a single person alone left his/her friends to die because there was only one mount to ride out of that. (Interestingly in the German speech text of some bosses in those two instances they only talk like we are alone and I really hope that we are canonically alone there. Maybe we left those adventurers behind at the start of the instances and went on alone. Otherwise beating up all those solo fights with 7 other people would feel shameful. )
