Time for me to head out, after this pull.

LOL. You must be joining/leading some weak ass lame groups if they collapse because of 1 member leaving. Last time I was in Crypt we had our tank bail without warning...guess what happened?! Group did not collapse! Yea, I know! Crazy, aint it? Instead, I tanked it on my shaman while LF tank. In most cases there is a way how to overcome 1 member leaving. Cut the bullshit and stop complaining about a non-problem.

What do you care if he decide to not group with people he find unreliable ? sounds a lot like complaining about a non-problem from here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I usually give notification based on how chatty my group is. If no ones talking, you'll get a 'got to go soon guys', 3 pulls later, i'm out.

If everyone is having a real conversation I'll usually bring it up way beforehand -- one of the first questions i ask is 'how long does everyone have today?'

Part of it, if you're the group leader, is being proactive. Rep-finding is pretty rare, and I've only found it to be super common in higher level groups. Lower level shindigs usually don't get nearly as much consideration, as disco is a much harder camp to keep than MR in unrest.

Yeah... I'm just the opposite. Nothing more annoying than the chatty group that can't stfu to play the game properly.

I think the proper etiquite is that you give at least a 10 minute warning before you have to leave. However, it is also okay to leave immediately if you explain that something came up and you have to go. I have no real issue with this kind of thing as long as someone is respectful and takes into account the other people in the group. If you at least attempt to show respect to group members there is no way I could be angry.

I agree they should just be honest:

"Playing with you right now isn't fun. I was going to make up an emergency so I could leave, but instead I have decided to just tell you that you are a hard-ass and playing a game with you isn't fun. Goodbye."

People don't really have emergencies all the time. Its their polite socially acceptable way of saying that they have to go without sharing their personal lives with virtual friends they just met in a pick up group.

And, yes, my enjoyment of the game (or lack of it in some situations) takes priority over making sure a group of folks I don't know at all have a replacement tank or cc. sorry. its a game. I'll give a heads up if I'm a crucial part of a group in a place that they aren't likely to just randomly find a /lfg to rep me, but I am not going to hang out forever if I'd rather log off. Typical lead time is about 20-30 minutes, and I expect the players who want to stay to find the rep. I'll look, but its not my responsibility to keep your pick up group going.

This out of all the posts on this thread is the enjoyable one.

Let me know if someone makes it, I'd consider joining :P

First: As a cleric I try to find a replacement.

Secondly: I'd only blacklist a Loot thief or someone being a complete a hole and showing no merit for the action.

Those points said. I don't care if someone ditches, or has excuse xyz. Yes it's nice to see the old school message. "I need to go and I am finding a replacement." However, if that doesn't happen oh well. It is a game. Get off your bumblaclot and stop crying because someone didn't think you were important enough to stick around.

Suggestion? Make friends in classes that support your toon? I have two chanters on speed dial. With them, I make a damn wizard tank np. Hello chain stun. *shrug*

Someone get some cheese for this thread because I see a lot of whining.

This is probably my least favorite post in the thread.

This entire thread is pretty comical, refer to my prior statement about decency being dead.
