Depends.
If I'm playing my healer or tank toon I just leave, cuz I can easily find new group.
If I'm playing my DD toon and I'm the one who is sucking (all my DD's are near 20k dps. I'm lazy to learn rotations), I stay in dungeon until I'll be kicked.

Since I only play tank or healer, when this happens I come to the forums and necro a thread.

I am probably the most casual, optimistic and patient player in this entire game - and kinda enjoy taking any opportunity to teach someone a few new tricks

I'm in no hurry to just up and leave a group because someone isn't the best at their role. I will mainly only leave if people are being massive rearends, and/or being toxic in chat. I can deal with newbies (hell we all were once), noobs and sub-par players as long as they are nice.

In some cases, you may even find yourself with a new friend once it's over

If your DPS sucks, and you know it way before queuing up for FG2, why do you get there anyway?
That shows what kind of person you are.

Nowadays, I only run pledges to get keys and transmute crystals, so it depends on the dungeon. If it's an easy one, I normally queue as fake heals since unless the tank is incompetent and people don't know the mechanics (e.g. one shot in Spindleclutch 1) my own DPS should be enough to complete them fairly quickly. As for the more difficult ones, I generally avoid running them with people I don't know or do them with the group I just breezed through a dungeon with if they're interested. One time, at about 4 am UK time, I ended up in a group that would have done a 3 DD no death run of ICP hm had one guy's food not dropped off as he was falling down after entering a portal =D

However, if sometimes I'm mad enough to queue for a difficult dungeon via GF, I generally ask in group chat after going in if people think they can do it. I don't care if they don't know HM mechanics, since I can explain those and I don't mind spending some time waiting for them to get used to them. However, if I see as we're going through the dungeon that we might be short on DPS since the other DD is just not good enough, I politely tell them that I don't think our group DPS is sufficient for HM, point out how much I'm chipping in and remind them I came in specifically to do HM. What happens later depends on the other DD. I bumped into a few people who asked me for some on the fly advice (e.g. tweak their rotation to squeeze out a bit more DPS, check if it's a gear problem, etc.). If there's something we could try, I don't mind giving it a shot. If it turns out we have no options (e.g. the person is running a full on pvp spec, doesn't know how to weave, their skills don't make sense as a rotation and they're the only ones they have unlocked), I tell them as things stand they will drag any group down as far as this particular content is concerned, hoping they will offer to leave themselves. However, on most occasions the other DD seems to be convinced their performance is not an issue, which I would assume is only possible if they aren't running combat metrics, in which case I wish everyone good luck and leave myself.

I am mainly DPS and not blowing my own trumpet....A good one.....so normally end up carrying.

@ZOS_GinaBruno can the forums have a pop up warning appear when a reply is being made to a thread that has lain dead for 3 months?

It depends on the reason for why the dps is low, eg if the dps is running 1h and sheild it’s a bit of a hint that they running pvp setup, in these cases it’s a kick without hesitation, or healer running transmutation in dungeon, it’s simply a case of not understanding what is required from them, so it’s time to vote kick. If it’s a clear simply not understanding a mechanic or they are lower cp then giving advice and helping is not an issue. But turning up in pvp gear and setup? No thanks vote “kick”

I would leave if i‘m doing that bad (I‘m a dps) earlier i was trying to use group finder for vet blackheart haven so i could farm jewelry/gs..didn’t work out, i found 1 group in 2 hours..

A little off topic but after that i did blessed crucible to get troll king and had to tank cuz some dps clicked tank even though he was a magic dps..my stamblade has no tank builds and i was quite annoyed with all the rolling i had to do..

So while i play nice i also get screwed sometimes even though i have long waits

Tips if you need dungeon do it then its pledge much faster queue and you tend to get better players.

I'm usualy the low DPS, even though I have a mid level CP.
I'm trying to learn how to do rotations, and boss mechanics, but I seem to be taking ages to learn, which frustrates a lot of people, so I wish them good luck, and leave, so they can find a DPS who can do as they wish

Always go for the lowest CP first because we don't have DPS meters to determine who's the weaker DPS. If there's a tie then wherever who the least BiS build gets kicked. On a side note, any DPS that uses Bone Shield should be kicked on sight. As well as those with names that contain YOLO, Swag, or anything drug related.

Years ago I started playing this game when it first came out, and only solo quested. Recently came back with morrowind and started a new character a month or so ago, since I was totally lost with my old character.

I am now a magicka nightblade, around 400cp but as a new character. Right now I am improving, but I still hardly have a clue what I'm doing. So far I've only ran normal dungeons as that is where to learn I suppose. I got my dps up quite a bit already, but right now I'm lost on how to sustain my magicka. I run out of magicka after every two groups or on tougher monsters like bosses. When I have magicka though, my dps seems to be quite good.
I've found most players really patient, and try to help. Haven't been kicked once, which surprises me hehe.

Also, when I notice players aren't really doing well, I just keep trying and not kick. What's a few gold in repairs anyways.

I do agree that you should not be doing veteran dungeons or other high content when still learning the game. That is when I would consider kicking if giving advice does not work.

PS: Would appreciate tips on magicka sustain and best skills to use(haven't looked into rotations yet). Right now I have 28k magicka, 2k magicka regen in combat, and a little over 1550 spell power. But honestly have no clue if that is any good.

To give you a rough idea my magicka Nb sits at 40k+ max magicka and well over 3k spell damage. What sets are you wearing etc? What server do you play on? It sounds like you might need to get a little guidance on your build.
