Faking disconnects

[Alleo]

I mean you can call it suspicious, but without proof you cannot claim it was intentional.

Its true that we dont know if they did it on purpose or not but my post was more about those that truly do it for a fast way out. It could be that the player was not one of them or they might be. I also know that DCs can come at the worst times but if someone disconnects right at the very beginning of a dungeon and exactly after the poster said that they are not that experienced its really suspicious. On top of that they were not even back when they were at the first boss so that its quite a long time too. Yes cases like yours can happen too but imo this sort of combination really feels like a fake DC and if they did that, they are immature in my view.

I can acknowledge that a player's connection can fail due to an outage in the area. What gets me heated are people--more often than not endgamers who think they're too "pro" for anything that isn't a hardcore raid--who take advantage of this fact to do scummy things such as pull the plug on the their cable modems, close the app, or other such acts because they find themselves in a dungeon they don't like or someone in the party is new. These people are the types who enjoy making the game less enjoyable for others.

That sound more like the leeching rage kid mentality than raiders. If you're part of a static that don't rely on other people guides then you're used to wipe until you've got the hard encounters of the game figured out. At that point you don't really care what dungeon you get from a daily or what kind of players are with you. It'll take roughly the same amount of time anyway and won't be difficult to clear.
Most of the time people that brag the most about being "elite" are really not part of it, they just try to look the part.

D/Cs can be unpredictable too, like during the SB launch I probably d/c'd into dungeons as a healer like 30% of the time because of the server issues. I happened to be queued with an FC tank so they can tell the party that i'll be back in when the server lets me. Like maybe if your connection is already flakey going into an instance is the straw the breaks the camel's back.

A funny one is every time the BLM in my raid somehow falls off the arena in O4S, half the time he'll get zapped out of the void and D/C. So if we have to wipe, they won't ever jump off. It hasn't been a burden because we have cleared it for awhile. I'm not sure why it can be that harsh to their connection.

I can only remember doing this twice off the top of my head in my 4 years of playing. It has to be really, really bad for me to just shut off the game and walk away. I avoid leaving 99% of the time unless it's clearly getting nowhere. Eating the penalty is preferable to bashing one's head against a brick wall for almost an hour. That 30min will give you time to cool down.

This year my ADSL very unstable. Some days drop a lot. I imagine some people can think about being fake dc, but I never did that >.< And generally appear error 3102 after dc, then takes a time to I come back.
Anyway, lately playing more as bard than healer because is more easy party catch other dps after kicked me.

Faking wuuuut?...well i know one thing i can fake at late free times :P

But serious about faking dc in dungeons..oki in the world open when things gotten too much, but then its also my own fault for drive alot attentions at same time because i luuuuuv it and sometimes it gets too much at once but at least NO one gets hurts, we all ppl and i want to respect this even if i can be a bitch and say fukk off now im leaving and then we all leave happily ever after, what important is we all return to see each others again and we all wanna remember a good game and much laughter and not be a scumlord
