Today I joined a pug group for Castrum in Bozjan. We managed to clear the first two bosses no problem, but Dawom and Lyon kicked our teeth in.
On the last boss, we wiped three times because every group we sent to fight Lyon couldn't meet the dps check. Although the outcome bites (dying and losing thousands of mettle multiple times really stings) the worst part is you can be grieved after your alliance surrenders from lack of time.
Following our last wipe with less than 7 mins left on the timer, someone pulled the boss. If you're still inside the instance, you along with other unwilling adventures will be zoned into the losing fight against your will. Normally dying isn't a big issue, but we're in Bozjan. When you're down to 6 minutes, half your alliance has already left, and you've already lost thousands of mettle to one encounter... another 'forced' death could be considered grieving.
I'm going to give that person the benefit of the doubt and assume whoever pulled did so not realizing they'd be dragging unwilling players to yet another death. That said, I believe it should be looked into before it actually becomes a problem, specifically with Bozjan.
Perhaps remove the forced zoning in, or give the player an option to be removed entirely from the instance. Just my suggestions.
