PSA: Stop /leave-ing when you're hosting QB
Some people aren't getting loots and seals tyvm.
Edit: Thread isn't meant to point fingers at people. Like I said in a later post, I don't think (most) people doing this are aware of what is happening to some party members being that leaving as host doesn't have this problem on a regular boat.

Especially on WEST I know some trolls that have multiple lvl 90s and do this.
Gets annoying.
Just leave the party before the host has the chance to leave.
When boss dies, type in chat: /leave
This will bring up ending screen, you get rewards/loot and all you have to do afterwards is hit that "Return to Town" button.
Usually what I do.
Smh. Some people and what they get off to...
And yeah I tried to /leave myself when I saw the notice about returning to town in 10s, but it's habit for me to tab to another window when boss dies and I was too late. Guess I gotta learn something new.
So many weird habits picked up for the purpose of dancing around this game's stupid bugs, god.
However, that's leaving before the boss is killed.
But yes, quick leaving at the end of the battle that people think is really smart is in fact really dumb and should be bannable.
-Not playing the game as intended.
-Griefs other players into sometimes leaving them in a glitched state where they are unable to get their drops.
Adding to this, you also lose -1 daily Battle Limit. Let's say it's a raid, you will have to wait until tomorrow's reset unless you have VIP.
Your equipment loses durability as well.
No EXP, No Loot, No Gold
The "glitched state" usually a black screen when the system is trying to connect you to a new host.
- You might be unable to /leave
- You can't get loot
- You can't do anything except return to the main screen and re-join the game again
With that said, this a well needed PSA because people will need to change their habits when using QB as it works differently. Not everyone who does it is a troll, I did it the first day because of habit and quickly realized it was a bad thing.
Leaving at the end if you are NOT the host is perfectly acceptable.
Yep, I do understand it. I also think most people are not aware what is actually happening when they leave as QB host.
I'd like to think that most of the people aren't doing it on purpose.
/leave in normals battles gives you all your drops earlier. Like someone already mentioned, people do it out of habit.
Honsetly, quick battle just seems like a useless feature to me with all its flaws.
That's the only thing I've encountered, but I've always gotten my things.
I don't think hosts should ever do it, but I'd say I have a pretty damn good reason to use early forfeit as a regular party member, at least. The Ein Lacher patch made the results screen extremely laggy for me, and the lag actually carries into the loading screen if the host hits return to town before all of the information comes up. It makes my load time going back to town about 2 minutes, really annoying when I'm on a raid train because it either keeps everyone else waiting on me or I just get kicked.
Again, weird habits developed because of stupid long-time unresolved issues this game has. If they lock out the early forfeits without fixing the UI lag that will probably be the last straw for me.
except getting 1st on brain dead raid isn't really much of an accomplishment compared to stuff like neamhain.
It has its fair share of bugs and flaws but its definitely not useless.
Was in 3 raids last night with hosts who either didn't know about this or were trolling and was forced to type /leave quickly to save my loot.
As a reminder for the players, if the host leaves QB early (you will see the loot picked up in chat), you can type /leave to make sure you get your loot.
of course, host still shouldn't leave because it makes everyone wait while host transfers and game might possibly crash as other have said
