    Party Mechanics

    I have a few healer alts, and I play a lot of dungeons, mostly doing them several times to help other people out (for me its 30sec wait time for dps 30+min).

    But often I get grouped with real stuppid people, tanks that insist to dps, people running at random around, and worse of all Bots.

    Is there a way to kick somebody from the party or something without hurting the other players, I do not wish to run a dungeon for 80min, fail on all bosses several times, etc. Its a waste of my time.

    But leaving a party mid dungeon hurts the DPS big time, is there a way around this?

    btw: its nowhere explained how to leave a dungeon halfway (under duty you can leave it), is this done on purpuse?

    To leave a dungeon, you simply have to go back to the entrance and exit. Coincidentally, leaving the dungeon in this way also removes the duty. The first player to leave a party is also penalized by being unable to re-queue in duty finder for 30 minutes. Players who leave after that can find another party immediately after.

    There is currently no way to kick somebody from a party. The offending party member has to willingly leave, which has led to various kinds of exploits.

    If you are a healer, you may party up with the dps and help them queue faster in the duty finder. Many do appreciate that. That's not always possible if the dps are on another server, but it at least means you can help the dps on your server a little.

    You don't have to go back to the entrance to leave the dungeon you can also just open the Duty Finder and click on the Leave button.

    Groups that do not work as a team

    Sadly some people simply do not listen as illustrated below....

    (Anna Fairweather) Greetings to you all

    DD engage first mob before tank

    (Anna Fairweather) uhm do we not allow the tank to tank?

    DD continue to engage mobs first

    (Anna Fairweather) Fezori please let the tank engage first

    <<Tank engages a group of mobs and the DD's then run off engaging two other groups out of my range>>

    (Anna Fairweather) guys dont split up!!!

    I then try over several minute to get their attention - this is all when there is no combat

    (Anna Fairweather) ok wait up please

    (Anna Fairweather) please STOP!!!!

    (Anna Fairweather) you are not working as a team

    (Anna Fairweather) will any of you reply?

    (Anna Fairweather) ok then good luck as I am leaving

    Finally a reply and one which proves that people just do not pay attention

    (Mizori Taikashi) sry, didn't notice the words.
