Last night I had one hour to play, I was excited because I was going to be doing my very first dungeon! I logged on and immediately joined duty finder. I have been stuck on the very first story dungeon FOREVER because I have limited game time during the week, this time I figured I had an hour, that should be enough time.

…36 minutes later I finally get in the dungeon. Crap. I had never done a dungeon or even played with a group of people, I had no idea how long it would take. I was playing the DPS role, the other DPS, the Tank and the Healer were all perfect! I was quite surprised because of all the horror stories I have read on these forums.

We were making our way through with no problems. 5 minutes pass, then 10, then 15…. I was having a blast but I realized we would not finish in the 10 minutes I had left. I felt like a huge D Bag. I didn’t know what to say, “Sorry guys, I gtg!” Didn’t seem to cut it.

Ugh, it killed me, this group was perfect and I was SOOOOO close to finally get past this part in the story so I could continue.

Alas, I left the group, saying nothing and logged out. I didn’t even go to a sanctuary because I was just so bummed.

So my question to you guys, what is the proper way to leave a group in the middle of a dungeon if you HAVE to? With the queue times being as long as they are, it is nearly impossible to know “If I get in queue now will I have enough time?” Is it polite to just leave? Should something be said at the beginning of the dungeon if I have less than 30-45 minutes? Should something be said before I leave?

Thoughts?
