To make a long story short, our PUG lost over five hours of progress last night doing Arah Explorable Path 2 when the player who was the first to enter the dungeon decided that they didn’t wish to continue and left the party, which seemingly destroyed the instance for the rest of the party and kicked us all back outside the dungeon.
(Mind you, they came to this decision while standing two feet away from the PATH’S FINAL BOSS, and I’m probably madder than I should be because of that, but that’s a story for another time!)
Either it needs to be possible for the entire party to be able to “share” the dungeon instance, so that in the case of the enter-er leaving, the dungeon/story/other instances are still there for the other party members, or there needs to be a way to designate who will create the dungeon ahead of time before actually entering it (kind of like a party leader who doesn’t have any additional power over other members besides that). Otherwise, I’m not going to be doing any dungeon runs for a while when a single person can ruin my entire experience by getting bored, or D/C-ing, or anything else really!
