Fail random hero? Leave with no debuff!

[FlawedHero]

Today I was in a random heroic with a Moonkin constantly going AFK and a tank with the same HP as me (Rogue). Needless to say, it didn't go well.

Tank decides to do achievements rather than just clear, we wipe horribly, I decide to leave as raid is soon and 2 badges isn't worth the repair bill.

I attempted to teleport out but couldn't while dead so I dropped group and released, ran back and zoned. No more group, no LFG Deserter debuff.

TL;DR version.

1. Random Heroic group suck?
2. Die
3. Drop group
4. Release spirit
5. Run back and rez
6. Zone out
7. ???
8. Profit (and requeue immediately with no deserter debuff)


Is this game breaking? No, of course not. Is this intended? No, otherwise there would be no deserter debuff in the first place. I hope this helps you get out of awful PuGs and on your way to badges. Good luck!

Yes, if your group is immediate fail then you're out of luck.

This is merely to avoid getting the deserter debuff from a fail group. Useless if you leave immediately, incredibly useful if you leave after the LFD debuff is gone.

Except it's not. The thread by Alisamix uses a different method. With hers you die, release and hope to leave group before it loads you to the GY. It's very similar but this way is more effective and reliable. Many people in her thread were having issue with it and still getting the debuff.

You don't get the deserter buff as long as you become saved.

but you have to die first :/

In some cases this one death is actually better than dying over and over in a really really terrible pug. I just started playing again, but I wanted to contribute to the site.

Cheers.

I've seen a few threads with similar thoughts with many people saying theirs doesn't work now. I just re-tested the method listed above and it is still working.
