Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

Obviously I don’t know all the details, so forgive me for playing devils advocate and/or offering criticism here.

You say you drop parties mid dungeon- that is your right to do so for whatever reason via the leave option. The game gives you the 30 min penalty and that should be the end of it. It won’t let you leave during combat, so party should be “safe”. It is a little weird to not excuse yourself, but that’s not breaking any rules.

If you are force DCing however, that might be considered breaking the rules. As a party member, if you suddenly DC mid fight as healer or tank they will likely wipe, then have to wait for the game to either understand you are gone for good, or for the party to decide to kick you and recruit a new member. Huge waste of time for them. Not saying you did this, but if so perhaps some insight on why someone might be upset with you.

As for healing, you said you choose to dps over something like raising. I can see how people will think that “you are the healer and it is your job to keep us alive and do raises”. Someone might have simply reported a “this player refused to do their job as a healer by letting me die, then refused to raise me”.

Moreover, your not talking in party might be seen as cold- it is a simple thing to just say “Ah you died.. no worries- go ahead and raise yourself and catch up”. Even with that I could understand a party member thinking “wtf, why not just swift cast raise me…?”

Again, I wanna stress my ignorance of your circumstances. Take this as just some thought on what might have rubbed people the wrong way, or how they might misunderstand your actions for malevolence.

Good luck with the appeal.
