So, after spending an hour today trying to find a level 6 group, I finally found one. We beat the first 3 fractals and ended up getting the Jade Maw bonus level. One of our members died while fighting it and after it died, three of us went to revive our fallen member before grabbing the chest.
One of our members however decided to grab the chest instead of helping us revive. He then sent a party message saying he had to go and proceeded to exit. This caused the rest of the party to be thrown into Lion’s Arch before getting the chest. Because we didn’t get the chest, we didn’t level which means we have to repeat level 6 again even though we technically completed it.
I am posting this for two reason. For one, I think that there should be some kind of vote, no matter what, to prevent this from happening. A voting box didn’t appear when he did this; we were just thrown directly into Lion’s Arch. It was obvious to the rest of the party that he did this on purpose thus abusing the way the party system works in FOTM.
The second reason I am posting this is to give everyone a heads up that players are doing this. It’s hard enough to find a group and have that group actually get to the end of a level without having someone disconnect to now have to worry about players doing this. I hate to say it but before you revive, grab the chest otherwise you may end up repeating a level.
