    warning flags?

    Is there a way we could implement a system where people who join learning pfs then leave after one or two wipes can get a mark against there names...and after so many marks every time they join a party the leader gets a warning that this person is a leaver...

    wasted 3 hours of my time sunday of people joining a learning group and leaving soon as there was a wipe... not being funny but these people are just wasting others time.

    YES - in fact this should be implemented for dungeons as well. I'm tempted to say dungeon ditcher's should be penalized for quitting...but then there are circumstances that may cause more harm than good. just the other did we had a Stone Vigil Hard - a newbie (first run) got hung up on the turtle boss fight - our healer (total dumbass) ditched after first wipe....people have to learn - I do not understand why people are such a nasty about it.

    Yeah some sort of marker/flag would be nice in addition....that lasts longer than the penalty.

    And then? Doesn't change anything in their behaviour they'll probably just get harassed by the people who'll mabe kick them just because they are marked. Its like shaming someone and thats not a thing SE wants.

    Yes leavers are annoying but also are the people who refuse to learn to play properly. Do we want to flag them too?

    That will never happen because whole FC/friend groups join and if there are wipes, they all bail. These are the "legend in their own mind" raiders that have no patience.

    The implementation will never work fairly. Who gets to initiate the flag? The players who are left behind? The system automatically does it if they ditch before 15 min?

    You join a learning party for allegedly the last phase of some ex primal. Turns out 50% of the party can not get to that phase without some healer lb3.

    Why should you stick around for that lost cause (trap party you all call it)?

    no idea...tbh i wrote this in frustration after having people join a shinryu learning from part 1 (i mentions there was someone in the group who had killed it but learning as tank ) and me and the other healer had gotten to adds but some in our static were complete first timers and opened it up for fills with the message completely from the start learning. Offered our discord to those not in the static who wanted advice. so it was no way entrapment. so many people leaving after a wipe would be nice if i had a warning :< 3 hours wasted

    The system you are suggesting is treading very close to player shaming. You never know what is going on in the person's life. Some people watch their kids while playing real life > video game. Some people live dangerously and play while they are at work. Maybe company showed up at the door at the wrong time.

    The odds of all of these happening in a row .... very rare. However the possibility is there. Just a thought.
