Tanks holding fights hostage in Roulettes

Re: alt f4 to leave

Actually some good points here: allow people who are down to leave the instance and/or vote kick. It is bad design to force them to just sit and wait.

If asked to reset and the tank refuses, it is reasonable to allow the other 3 party members to kick them.

OK, i have never tried to leave a party so i do not know whether it works or not if you are dead. But ALT+F4 always works.

What an inane, absurd suggestion which is actually against ToS if you want to go there.

You're better just giving people the option for Vote Reset, so it resets that specific boss. Then you leave it entirely with a vote. If people want to let the tank solo, then they may do so. If they don't, then I guess the tank will just have to deal with not feeling like they're the main character LOL.

It's crazy to me that so many people seem so against basic etiquette and communication in an MMO

As a very solo MMORPG player for most of my life I've spent on this genre.. I can't understand the influx of people who treat MMORPGs like single player games with a bunch of obstructions (read: other players) standing in the way of their gameplay.

This should not be happening in a trinity MMO and just goes to show how unneeded healers and how busted tanks are. The whole class department (whatever that is) did an awful job this expansion (and longer, if I'm being honest).

I hope you also do know that the ALT+F4 it's an old way of trolling on MMO.

Thanks, I'm going to solo the boss even harder.

The fact that you're listed as a WHM makes this even funnier. I'd pay to watch a healer solo a boss ngl lmfao.

My recommendation would be that next time a tank does that, report it and include a link to this thread and the other one dealing with this issue. While the vast majority of tanks will reset, the are jerks who have no respect and can’t understand that this is a group activity.

We had egoistical tanks last night who decided to finish Valigarmanda after the stack marker on the very first pull with 4 new people in the group. The only reason they were still alive was because of their role. The WAR didn’t even use Shake it off to try to help the party members who were stacked but in insufficient numbers (the other tank didn’t even stack for most of the attacks). A simple reset and explaining what to do to the new people would have been a no brainer to anyone civilized. SE needs to reimplement enrage timers in normal mode as a safeguard against jerks if they are going to make tanks unkillable gods able to solo 8m current synched content (of have the boss cast doom after a minute or two if 75% of the party is dead). To me this behaviour falls under nuisance behaviour.

True. I had several similar experiences.
