Party Leader Abuse

Let me start by saying that I have invested money into this game, I enjoy the game overall, however this has me completely done with putting ANY more money into this game until it is fixed.
I queue up on my DC for a dungeon during the dungeon delves, we kill the last boss, and the party leader just removes everyone from the party, and takes all the loot, and nobody even completes their dungeon delves bonus....
This happened to me twice just today, so I have had it. More dungeons than not, end in this manner. I am done, this is TERRIBLE game mechanics to allow such an abusive system to exist at all. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put 5 random people together and give one of those random 5 people, complete control over loot and removing people, should be fired. It is such a glaring oversight that it completely ruins the experience for anybody who doesn't have a premade group.
Also before anyone says "hurr durr get a guild". I have a guild, but that doesn't mean I never use the random queues to run dungeons. The queue system needs to be fixed ASAP, because as it stands, it is a haven for dishonest ninja looting players to get everything they want, and screw the honest players over.

I have to admit though, I did actually do it once, myself, though, to another player who had been constantly abusive to the group all the way through the last boss fight. I just lost my patience after a while when we got to "SERIOUSLY? WE WIPE NOW? LOL I NEVER SEE SUCH FAILS", after he failed to notice mid-fight DCs from one of the melee, despite having it pointed out a few times, and screaming about healing, while forgemaster's flame, hallowed ground and blue astral shield were all ticking at once (if you want more than that, use a potion, or invest in private healthcare). A really obnoxious player, who I shan't name and shame, but who I'd like to see trapped under several dead walruses, that one. Anger is the path to the dark side, though.. so that one moment of catharsis for the sake of the whole group is still very naughty behaviour.
Yes, it needs fixed, it's very "is this a knife I see before me" right now, all too tempting to abuse out of anger, or even greed. Robust game design is needed, to protect people from each other's worst impulses.
Here is the description for those that still need to learn it:
Go to Options > Interface > HUD > Show Map Transfer Choices: ON
This creates a popup window which gives you a choice of instance to transfer to. If you don't make a choice, you will remain in the dungeon and should be able to loot your DD chest.
In the meantime they should seriously look into perma banning anyone caught doing this. It is just such a mean inconsiderate thing to do and goes against every aspect of D&D. I Say hang em high and set a example for the rest of the d-bags. People will just keep doing it unless there are Real consequences to their ill intent actions.
Cryptic needs to show their iron fist and let the bannhammer come thundering down!
Let's get this straight from the heart of a veteran D&D DM...... players have choices, they have always had choices and opportunities to perform virtuous roles or villainous ones. Those that consistently verbally argue, abuse, disrespect and don't play with others unless they get there way, do what ever they want and badgers and whine other players ARE villainous. It isn't the system that is flawed to an extent it's the players that aren't mindful of others and inconsiderate.
The whole need and greed system I think is acceptable and if a player needs something whether it is for there current pc or their alt then by all means that is they're choice. If they want to party with you or not that is they're choice. If they want play in a specific manner they're comfortable with then by all means that is they're choice.
To many control freaks and whiners equates to a less than appealing community. A lot of people are saying this is a great game, and I do think it is great, could be better....but what really makes it un-fun, and a choir is some aspects of the community. It wasn't like this on the BW's.
I personally am too cheap to spend money on a game when I don't even know, what I will actually need down the road. I would love to be able to earn purple and have the best companions, cool mounts and professional resources not just buy with real money. I know I am a "dinosaur".
I hope the game keeps developing so that both paying and non-paying players can enjoy it! But for now am just trying to be patient.
But yes some of the game mechanics do need to be addressed sooner than later!!! I understand the original poster
Hasn't happened to me yet thankfully, and here's to hoping it never does. Glad ya'll are working on it.
