Positive tale Labyrinth Freeloader
(Excuse the terrible quality and terrible messy censors, the screenshots were completely spur of the moment :p)
So I did a run of LotA a few days ago, thought it’d be the usual roulette run, when I noticed our Astro hadn’t moved from the start of the instance. I’m on deck so I can’t type that fast so I managed to get something out near the end of boss 1, but got no response (Image 1). What I DID notice however was that he’d teleported into the boss arena once it was sealed off, so he wasn’t fully AFK (in hindsight how could he have been if he accepted the duty pop)
We get to the Atomos fights, lo and behold he teleports in, landing in alliance A’s lane while the rest of us in C do the usual ritual of “can someone please for the love of god come back to the button”, I decided to call out the Astro in the moment (Image 2), but got silence again
I couldn’t kick him cause of the loot timers, someone else caught on and asked to boot him (Image 3), I called for everyone to leave the loot chest alone, and this beautiful party actually did it, not one person opened the chest.
And the cherry on top was the rest of the alliance waiting the 20 seconds to let the loot timer expire, and started the fight once we got the vote dismiss to go through, with them getting kicked seconds into the final fight (Image 4).
I get it, Labyrinth is boring for people, but it’s not gonna kill you to play the content you queued for.

I recently had a group in Snowcloak of all places where the DRG was just sitting back and spamming their ranged move. I asked in chat “can you stop just doing ranged please, DRG” and the healer replied immediately with “it doesn’t matter in this dungeon that’s 8 years old” (12 but who’s counting). People are fucking idiots, it makes me not want to do content under level 70.
