Leeches?

Any place to report such a thing?

Kid joined an elite Against the Demon Queen pre-raid group. Went afk because of "irl issues", until we had finished all 6 doors and opened the way. Comes back, doesn't say anything, then falls off the ledge "accidentally" into the lava, then tries to come up with some lame excuse for it. Gets called out on it by the whole party, then squelches us and just afks for the rest of the time.

On the bright side; we couldn't kill Lalait, so he wasted his time.

Don't use other people's in game names in the forums, that's against the rules, and you might get an infraction.

The best way to deal with pikers (people who join and don't do anything) is to remember their name (like in a squelch list) and never group with them again. If you can read their signature, you might be able to find out what other characters they have. There really isn't much you can do regarding pikers, except reform your group around them.

Thanks, removed his name.

Personally, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt before I attack them. Real life issues do happen sometimes, and even I have had instances where I accidentally autorun into lava or a trap. I fell off the boat at the beginning of Chronoscope once and died.

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Nope. Turbine encourages bad play. Any attempt to improve the contributions of bad players could result in lower DDO store sales.

Oh, there was no mistaking his intent. Trust me. I feel the same way about giving people the benefit of the doubt, but he made it quite clear what his intention was.
