I also know that part of the challenge of Delibrum is your unknown party composition, but if people pull before the parties can negotiate trading a healer for a DPS, the result is going the party with 8 DPS having 4 people abandon by the end of the first boss. We managed to limp through the rest in 35 minutes so I'm glad I stuck around, but people are so stingy with using lost actions that they'd rather take a 30 minute penalty than use an action to protect themselves. (For the record, I was on DNC and did a heal spec with Savior and Cure IV and Stoneskin, so I'm mostly annoyed at the other 7 DPS in my party that cried about dying without thinking to grab any actions of their own to help out.)

Sure would have been GREAT if we had been able to pull in more people to replace them.
