    Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    So I got into this discussion the other day with no resolution to what is "right or wrong". So I thought it would be good to see how the community felt.

    When using the random dungeon tool, and you draw a dungeon that either you 1) dont like or 2) dont think you can do (mostly applies to tanks and healers), will you drop or run it anyway. Some believe that you are "obligated" to the other people in the group, so you should stay. Some just cant handle the debuff. Some just dont believe you should have to run something you dont want to run.

    So, what do you think?

    GO!

    Those are really restricted options. I leave the following on sight: HoL, Oculus, CoS. I'd rather go BGing while the 30 min debuff goes away

    I feel no obligation to a random group. If I'm dpsing people could probably care less if I drop, if I'm tanking the group is first in line anyway and will get another soon. The only dungeon I drop is heroic VH though, I can't stand waiting on portal spawns and single mob tanking is lame, which is like half the portals.

    If I drop I generally run out the deserter buff by doing a heroic on my other 80, or leveling my rogue.

    As a Tank on one toon, and a Healer on the other, I know I'm needed and will usually finish the dungeon regardless. Dungeons like HoL, HoS, CoS, Nexus, and Oculus are annoying and put me to sleep, the new Heroics are too long for the amount of emblems they give, but I'll stick with an at-launch dungeon or ToC, but the new Heroics have hardly any emblem yield for the time spent, sorry to those, but I don't have the time to run these anymore

    I'll do any dungeon. It isn't a big deal to me. I'll drop if the group winds up sucking though. :P

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    I will leave the group instant if the dungeon is CoS or Oculus. I never leave the group if the dps / healer / tank is bad. Dps is never a problem because my dps can carry the whole group trough the instance, if the tank is bad I usealy end up tanking most of the mobs which is ok if the healer is good. Never had a bad healer and bad tank in the same group.

    If I'm with friends / guildies I will do the dungeon no matter what, unless we all decide to give up <.<

    The one situation where I have left a group that didn't fall apart was healing on my 73 shaman in OK. I told them to kill the flingers first 3 times, died twice to them, then the mage went afk for 10 minutes. F that.

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    I said yes, but I do run a lot of bad ones. I'll sigh, maybe curse a few times, but ultimately suck it up and complete HoS, HoL, OK (these 3 are pretty much every one I get), but no way am I going to do PoS or HoR. Not even remotely worth the aggravation.

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    i stick with it usually, depends if the group's idiocy raises my blood pressure a lot or not.

    so maybe 1 out of every 30 runs i leave... im lucky that way 8)

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    No, I only drop the run if there are slackers, AFKers, idiots or people who can't fulfill their role. I've got 2 other toons to do daily hc on with instant queue, I'll survive. There is no dungeon I don't want to do, they are all equally boring.

    I have no real dislikes to any instances... Oculus maybe but the chance of the blue drake has made it a lot sweeter.
    I wont leave the party if I'm a tank or healer because its hard to find them but as a dps, i will leave HoR on sight.

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    the undergeared option only applies to HoR as a tank or healer, period. I have healed every other heroic on my hatefule/naxx 10 geared priest no problem. I got a 29k health tank (with fort, sanc, shout and the 5% buff) through pit of saron on this toon, so I dont think being undergeared is a valid option for anything but HoR.

    As for leaving because they are "too long", I cant think kof a dungeon that takes more then 15 mins tbh. Maybe if you actualy do the 2 out of the way bosses in OK, or CoT pre RP nerf. But honeslty, 15 mins is about how long EVERY dungeon takes.

    Re: Do you drop a random dungeon you dont want to run?

    I used to feel like I should stay and finish on principle. Then one time I spent 30min in a H FoS where we wiped 4 times and the tank afk'ed before the last boss and had to be replaced. Oh, and the tank was 4500gs or so, but was the second highest dps, behind me. So, it's a judgment call. That sort of set up, I'll drop. But I'll stick around for even the 3.3 heroics if the group seems geared and competant.

    If only shamans had an interrupt on a short cooldown.

    god forbid you spend 15 minutes in an instance.

    Why do people still avoid CoS? You can simply speak to Chromie and skip all the RP crap and get right into the action. Also, i don't see any reason for dropping HoL, I find it one of the easiest/quickest instances (with AN being my personal favorite).

    Since 90% of my randoms end up being UK, UP and OK, i stay. Groups normally do 2-3 bosses there anyways.

    I never landed on Oculus or HoR. If I did, i would probably bail on that.
