Trolling in Trial Group Finder

It finally happened. Ran a VHRC plunder run yesterday on PS-NA. One DD, before going into HRC, started out by playing bad music and complaining that nobody was talking to him. Figured he might be drunk, gave the run a chance anyway. He died on his way to the bridge, a la the "golden skyshard." He then did the DPS dance with the first boss, killing himself and one player repeatedly. Figured both might be due to inexperience and drinking. Group was solid, kept going. He went up top, I went to the bottom boss. We wrecked our boss in the appropriate time. His group took forever, he kept dying, and complaining the fight was taking so long. Foolishly kept going. He blew the horn, but the group was good so no ill effects. And, as you could probably surmise, he broke the statues to activate hard mode. Like an idiot, I gave it one chance, until I saw him rush the boss to start the fight before the group could set up for hard mode.
I am actually surprised it took this long to encounter this through the new group finder, as its been very positive overall, but I knew this was inevitable. Still baffled as to why someone would waste 20-30 minutes to activate hard mode to troll. Wish we could name players on these boards so they could avoid people like him.

ElderSmitter✭✭✭✭✭Literally none of this has to do with Group Finder at all. No disrespect but you should have booted said player way before Main Boss as you could easily tell this player was a troublemaker from the get-go. Pugging in Craglorn or Using Group Finder makes no difference. You can always easily replace 1 dps no matter the time of day.
Anyone that does not take a Trial Seriously from the beginning should be booted by Crown no exceptions. Your wasting 11 other Players time by letting said player continue. Many groups have disbanded from a broken Statue.Edited by ElderSmitter on December 22, 2023 9:17PM5 -

✭✭✭@ElderSmitter totally agree, we were trying to get him booted. I was just talking about my choices in staying.
I like the new group finder, its great. Was just relating my experience dealing with the first troll. Again, don't know why someone would waste their time trolling a trial. But GF does make it easier for someone to join a trial for this purpose, as you can join from anywhere instead of having to sit in Craglorn waiting for pug invites. Its not going to stop me from using GF, nor should it stop anyone. Just wish there was a way to alert other players as to who the trolls are, like we could in GTA0
