If the group keep fighting without the newbie then that means the healer isn't using their ressurection

And I highly doubt that if the healer isn't using their resurrection they could even make it past the first boss

The DPS might get a res, or the healer might not bother. It's not exactly a difficult fight; it just has 1 lame mechanic that serves as an unavoidable blindside death for new players. In my experience healers usually let the new player stay dead; either being lazy or the group is struggling enough where the healer doesn't have the time/mana.

Doesn't matter, though; it's still a garbage mechanic, as it misses the mark on pretty much every rule established for even decent combat gameplay. The fact that healers can work around it if they feel like it, or you could just look up the mechanic yourself before the fight, doesn't make it good.
