(Savage) People give up way too easily...

Personally I don’t put any trust on the labels (Duty Complete, loot, etc) because Party Finder is a lottery.

My rule is if the group messes up the same mechanic 3 times in a Duty Complete or Farm, I go. If it’s a practice party it’s kinda frustrating when people leave instantly but it is what it is. :P

I think they should do something in practice parties to lock the phases out if you haven’t got through each one, it could make progression easier and less annoying

I don't like the last part, namely since I've been in practice parties that struggled on 1 mechanic, but cleared the fight right after it. Would make it feel less like a boss fight if it was locked to one phase, and also stifle potential learning on later phases during that particular lockout + pull.

And breaking a PF down into multiple individual phases wouldn't help people who might need to actively learn a later phase, but could use the time on earlier phases to polish their own performance up without staying overly long in groups that have 0 percent chance to progress past 1 mechanic of the fight just to polish up, losing out on the potential to learn later phases while polishing up the earlier ones.

It'd also hurt the flow of the boss from 1 phase to the next, since you wouldn't have to learn how to properly or best pre-position a boss prior to a phase transition, or learn how to properly mitigate/heal a phase transition, etc...

If I was trying to learn a phase that a group advertised they were at, but clearly were not after a enough pulls, it's fine to bail on that. The party is no longer what it said it was (like groups perpetually stuck on Level Checker in O11s, but were said to be learning Panto 2, or HW2 groups that wipe 10+ times to M+F mechanics).
