IV_Deity

Yes, rarely

It happens sometimes, but I rezz people afterwards so we don't have to waste time running back. I only do this if we are severely outnumbered.

Serjustin19

No

Most of the time, I head straight towards 1000 enemies (mostly less, but like the idea) at times, my group suddenly disappear without me knowing. Till to late, in truth more for me.

DeadlyRecluse

Yes, frequently

...also, if you abandon a fight and survive, you can insist that your group never wiped!

I know, right? Our group will be in the vanguard, fully knowing we don't have enough people to completely wipe the incoming forces (barring the possibility they're complete nubs) praying that enough of our faction sees us pushing and rallies behind/around us and gets siege going etc.

Easiest way to be killed: "surely some of these AD hanging around in stealth on the wall will jump in..."

Edit: to answer the poll, I said rarely because sometimes you need to get out and set up a camp. Because I'm a magplar healer though, most of the time I succumb to the same push that wiped most of the group because what is even maneuverability, even with mist form.

Lol this. You don't even have to be a tank to that to happen.

But bailing out to get a camp up while a couple of people distract the enemy is a fair tactic.

#prostrats

This got me.....there indeed are players who will tell you they didn't die and 'won' fight as they run away. The prostrat hash tag is the icing on the cake.

JamilaRaj

Yes, frequently

Yes. 10:0 is simply better score than 10:1, and that 10 dead are well aware of the difference.

Though I am usually not grouped with whoever happens to be defending too and bail out of overrun keep when solo defending as well.

Knootewoot

No

No of course not

I fight until the end or commit suicide. I'd stick to the group and rather die then be seperated for to long. But if they tend to horseback back to the place we are fighting quick I might hide a bit until they are back. But if they rather go attack another target i just commit suicide and spawn where the majority of the group is (mostly crown's location)

Brutusmax1mus

Yes, occasionally

Cracklings swarming everywhere looking for small groups to jump on...

Rianai

Yes, frequently

Does it even count as "abandoning" if i come back to res everyone?

pzschrek

Yes, frequently

In a raid group I fight it out to the end, but if not in a raid group, I frankly bail at the first sign of trouble. I main AD at the moment so I have to play in accordance with the culture of my people.

dotme

No

Never when I'm grouped up or running with my guild. Sometimes, when I'm solo, I'll roll off the back of a keep if it's 50:1 with no hope. I'd prefer the enemy to earn their AP from killing me, not get it for free by rolling over me with massive numbers.

Qbiken

Well, if outnumbered and I see that I have a chance of surviving then I´ll run. No shame in that.

Beardimus

Yes, rarely

I have disengaged before yes - not to leave the group but to hide and Rez the group if its a clear wipe coming.

Generally i'll go down with the ship, but there are times its wiser to be a sneak.

Morgul667

No

It is often the best strategy but I cant just do it

Irylia

Let’s get tamerlin’s opinion.

Potenza

Yes, occasionally

If we are going to lose anyway - why give them more AP?

JobooAGS

Yes, frequently

Really only to gain better positioning and to set up a fc

Arobain

Yes, frequently

if there is no possible chance of survival, no point in staying until being killed, i usually stay until i'm one of the last ones left, and then i'll run if i see no chance, so i can provide intel to the group, and maybe rez a couple if i can

Ley

Yes, rarely

Only if I think that me surviving will give the group a second chance. Otherwise when all hope is gone best to go out Leroy Jenkins style.

Sandman929

No

This is where we fight! This is where they die! (and if we die, we'll just go fight elsewhere)

Maura_Neysa

No

No, I stand and fight and often hold them until my group can reform and re-engage. I've often been the line which the enemy can't manage to cross in there push. Especially if you give me a choke point to trap them at.

oXI_Viper_IXo

Yes, occasionally

I only run to set up a forward camp. If we are getting wiped though and it's clear that a camp won't help, I'll go die at a resource because I'm spiteful and don't want to give the enemy another kill.

Galagos1

No

When I see a red or yellow toon, one of us is gonna die.

IndorilArwynLlethran

Yes, occasionally

It happens when I have forward camps and know good places for them. Or a good place to hide and ressurect people after. It also happend when the group leader was a hopeless noob and we lost because of his actions. And it may happen when i see a ball group which I don't want to feed.

Iskras

Yes, always

Usually my group is formed by me, me and myself. When something goes wrong, I always leave my group.

(Other groups I did not abandon. )

Deep_01

Yes, always

I don't stealth.I break away from the group, jump outside the keep, run around it looking for enemies away from their groups and fight/kill them till I drop dead or my alliance/team comes back.

NyassaV

Yes, occasionally

It's normally my job to rez ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Soris

Yes, occasionally

I run when i can but usually my fat templar cant run, so i lure the zerg while others doing rez/camp.

ForsakenSin

No
