Leaving random dungeons without deserter (without dying)

[jimmys96]

ok, so this is a method i accidently found while wiping in an instance and ive been using this to farm stonecore HC. I am a tank so instant ques.

Ok, lets get started, first que up and wait for the timer, then enter dungeon and see wich one it is. if its not the dungeon you wanted, simple press teleport out of dungeon, put yourself into combat and leave. voila, no debuff and 30 min wait time

Could you please explain it better. I don't mean to offend but I found it very hard to understand your instructions.
Thanks.

But you will still have the Random Dungeon cooldown of 15 minutes..
Also, another way of doing this is leaving as soon as u enter the instance. When you leave the party while 1 or more people are still in the loading screen, you won't get the debuff either. You just need a better then average computer for this :P

Example: You're questing and your dungeon queue becomes ready. Accept and go into the instance. If you don't want that instance (but you don't want to get the deserter debuff), do the following:

1.) Right click the LFD button on your minimap (green blinking eye)
2.) Click on the teleport option
3.) Now that you're back in the world where you were questing - attack something
4.) While in combat - right click your portrait and leave party

Per OP you'll no longer be in that group but you avoided the deserter debuff.

*Haven't tested but great find OP.

Sorry for the repost of how-to. Taking the time to try to find images - we all know how easy pictures are to follow for some.

Just tested this.

It does NOT work under these circumstances:

1. Was in Orgrimmar
2. Queue Popped
3. Once inside I right-clicked the Dungeon Icon and Teleported out
4. Took the Portal to Twilight Highlands
5. Found a mob, started attacking / went into combat
6. Right-click my portrait & left party
7. ... 30 Minute Deserter Debuff.

So one of two things, either they already hot-fixed this within the last 6 hours since it was found / confirmed, or it doesnt work if you have to zone after leaving the dungeon- EG: If I was in Twilight the whole time & got aggro, instead of porting.

Hoping it's not hotfixed... that's a great trick to have in my pocket for when I get something like Tides. (Seriously , FU Heroic Tides.)

This might have been hotfixed, gonna try it abit more..

[Weird0]

just tried it on eu realm and ended up with 15 minute cooldown, so either didnt work or hotfixed.

[ot4ku1992]

Got 30 minutes debuff after trying this.
Did the following:
Teleported out (Not Deadmines again, I begin to hate this one ._.)
Was in deepholm, aggroed a mob, attacked it and left group after few seconds.
-> 30 Min Deserteur Debuff.

[Benno Himself]

just tried it on EU, got deserter - it must've been hotfixed - nice try though

[jimmys96]

you still get the cooldown, you always do but this seems to be about 50-50 if you get it or not... been trying it for roughly 7 hours trying to find out how it really works...
