I don't know if the one I experienced earlier today is an isolated incident, and if so then my apologies for an unneeded thread, but if it's not, others now have a place to discuss similar encounters and to possibly discuss remedies, because it could/should be categorized as game abuse.
I play adventures with my Manitu's weapon set. A LOT of toons attend and participate in adventures with event weapon sets, as well as L2 Outlaw Rifles.
I attended an adventure earlier today. Teams were drawn and it started.
As soon as it started, a member of the team posted that he "...could not and would not support a teammate with an event weapon or L2 Outlaw's rifle...", and disconnected for the duration of the adventure.
Now this toon had the option, as does all of us, of quitting the adventure BEFORE it started. I've exercised that option several times, as it's an option that equally applies to all toons. We've taken our time penalty and rejoined when allowed.
But in this instance, this toon chose NOT TO QUIT before it started because that would give him a time penalty before being allowed to join another one.
Instead, he intentionally waited for the adventure to start, stated his intent of not helping the team because of a weapon that's on his team that the game allows, disconnects for the duration of the adventure, thereby intentionally sabotaging and ruining an adventure reward opportunity for his teammates.
Some folks might post that I'm an event weapon set owner being a whiner. OK.
How about his other teammate that wasn't but held in there and was stuck wasting time in a guaranteed loss?
And it's not about a loss. Going up against other event set weapon set and L2 Outlaw's rifles owners, I've lost my fair share of them.
This is about an opportunity for a toon, any toon, to intentionally deny and sabotage his teammates, other toons, an opportunity for max reward from an adventure.
Please post here if you encounter the same.
Otherwise, I'll call it an isolated incident.
See you at the next adventure....
