Faking disconnects

[Niraves]

I live out in the boonies and sometimes my internet just decides it doesn't like me. And my modem takes a solid six to eight minutes to get signal back, every darned time. Luckily it doesn't happen THAT often, but I always get so annoyed when I wait thirty + minutes for a queue only to dc and by the time I can get back in my party has booted me.

I mean, I get it, they aren't required to wait around for me, but man I would love it if I didn't have to ride out another 30 minute queue. XD

Spite is a powerful thing. Also the whole point of it is to not kick him as to just get a giggle out of it and purposely annoy someone who wanted to purposely make the group search for a new member while avoiding penalty. And it's not like most people are in such a hurry that waiting for someone would kill them, so. It's not that serious a situation.

Like I said, if you want to waste your playtime waiting for the guy to come back so you get your jollies, fair enough. Your choice. If it was me, I'd just get on with kicking them so I can get my shit done rather than spend time prancing about on my moral high horse.

prancing about on my moral high horse.

That did make me smile - will have to use in a sentence today.

I agree, this made me laugh. Best line I've seen in a while and I intend to use it also.

I actually did this in a Mentor Roulette with the group I joined. A DPS left because they didn't want to do Nidhogg Extreme (and just wanted a fast Mentor roulette, no doubt). Well, I told them not to kick the person and we would wait for them to come back. Sure enough, they came back and disconnected really quickly once they did. We did it two more times before voting to abandon, but we unfortunately did not get any sort of reaction from them.

Lol I was in that party too and people like that should be stripped of the crown. I can't stand people who do mentor roulette's 100% for the mount. It discredits the real mentors who actually try to help and gives sprouts a bad impression of mentors.

Or, you know... How about making something so people didn't WANT to leave? Make Mentors earn 5 roulette credits for a dungeon and 10 for successful EX primal kill, so they can stop fishing quick 2 minute guildhests which give... just think... the same credit as 40 minute wipefest, which actually most of the time gives no credit at all because of duty abandoning. For those who want only mentor mount its counter productive to stay... What's the incentive? (And no, teaching is not enough motivation or them).

Why did they become mentors then ?
Ohhh , i get it , for the cool looking crown and the mount ... silly me .. thinking when you join the mentors you do it to help others .

Exactly. Sad but true.

They could avoid fake mentors by not adding any rewards.
