Be it through sheer laziness, tiredness, chronic illness flareups, what have you.

Though, just for this, if we ever get in a group together I will be absolutely, possitively, 100% sure to not leave for whatever reason. Even if I have to take my entire PC build with me to the bathroom!!!! Since, y'know. Leaving is selfish. And I definitely don't want to be selfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no!! I can even see the conversation play out now!!!!!

Me: "GTG, stomach stuff srry."
Me: "Oh wait, it's selfish and nasty to leave!!!"
ME: "Give me 30 minutes, I have to unplug my PC and plug it in to the bathroom RQ, just wait right here :P"



People as reactionary as them absolutely hate getting corrected, and will absolutely 100% die on some really, really weird hills.
Well, the other side is that when you leave without any communication whatsoever then you leave it up to the remaining players to infer why you left. That means they can absolutely believe you left because you were running a parser and decided the group was not performing to whatever arbitrary standards you might have set, or you found their glamour ugly and left in disgust.
