Guild Wars 2

So today I just ran a dungeon with pugs and at the end, the leader of the group (or the person that went in, whoever) left the dungeon, and the rest of the group wasn’t able to get their reward from the chest.

I suggest that this be fixed – I don’t see why this is even in the game. Who cares if the leader of the group leaves? The whole group shouldn’t be kicked out of the dungeon (and subsequently, not receive their reward for finishing the dungeon.) Very frustrating.

This has been talked about many, many times. It really seems like a huge flaw and one reason I would never PUG a dungeon unless I start it. This goes along with getting kicked at the last to bring in a guildie. Seriously, this is very flawed and I agree needs to be fixed ASAP. It baffles me that ANet hasn’t fixed it yet. Baffles me, I say.

It is built into the base structure of the game. They would need to rewrite the entire instance and grouping code from scratch to fix this issue. Since this would cost time and money and they can’t sell it in the gem store it is unlikely to ever happen.

Maybe you are on to something here. They should sell an item in the gem store that allows you to go into a dungeon and get your rewards no matter if the party leader leaves or not. 1000 gems sounds about right…..

I don’t think it would take that much work. Seems like something as easy as the party starter/first to enter binds the whole party to him type of thing could be fixed pretty easily.

It’s pointless to speak of this. The only serious answers you will get are “Start the dungeon yourself” (As if every player could start the dungeon every time) or “Enter a big guild so that you won’t need to pug”.
ANet knows of this issue more than well, over 1 year ago a dev even said they were working on fixing this. Maybe when and if they’ll form a dungeons team again something will be done. Till then, just pray.
