Hard and Fast Questing

[Sindaleus]

Hello community goers. I recently started DDO. While I received a /tell to join a party for a chaptered quest series, I naturally accepted the invitation. However, load and behold, while partying with this group, I was introduced to bliz quest running. The twist was not everyone was keeping up. The two meleers in the party raced ahead and within a few minutes later he dies while the party is still gathering inside the quest entrance. When anyone attempted to rescue the meleer the party their confronted with a concentrated group of mobs that the meleers failed to kill along their merry path to the finale end, then asks to be taken to the shrine if possible.

The said meleers gets rescued with a near death struggle (lacking melee class support) by the remaining party members. The party manages to get them ressurected. Once they've rested and potion heal up their off racing ahead again. The whole scenario repeats again. After the quest chapter was completed. One meleer says "Sorry, I shouldn't run ahead." Feeling invested to finish the quest chapters, to at least get the end rewarded, I continued on. The said meleers races ahead again and dies. Do you see the trend, or should I continue?

At the end, or whenever a meleer died, as the Cleric, I got the brunt end of the stick from their complains for not getting healed. I was put-off by their complaints. I served my role well to those within casting distance. Afterwards, from my experience, that the invested quest chapter progress doesn't justify the experience gain with such hassle from party members over their inconciderate playstyle and questing method.

Heres what I want to know. Is this the trend for doing quests in DDO? Doing Hard or Elite, and with spell fizzle rate, it places a higher dependency on meleers to fill the ranks in the party for quest completion. Maybe not every quest. but I would bet the majority are. Is frequently happening in DDO, or not, because its making me re-think my approach on playing and partying in-game.

I didnt get the 911 on it, so I'm asking.
