Feature Request: Remove Abandon button from Heroic tier raids

Maybe just.... resist the temptation?
With all this “veteran officer” power... maybe it has got to you after all this time

Are you seriously telling people that you've abandoned raids because you simply can't resist the urge to push a shiny red button?

Are you a pigeon?

I'm guessing there's also confirmation required.

I wouldn't know, having never succumbed to the urge to push the button.

Only works on the weak minded

The Raid Abandon button is large, red and shiny and is just begging to be pressed. It is incredibly distracting even to a veteran officer. Abandoned raids count against players' weekly raid tickets. There is absolutely no upside to any heroic capable guild to have Abandoned button, while the potential for royally screwing your guild is gigantic. Please remove the Abandon button from Heroic tier raids.

Just why. It isn't that big of a deal. Just ignore it.

I think you are all taking the OP a bit too literally.
When he says the button is “begging to be pushed”, I understand it as “it is positioned in a spot that could make it easy to mistakenly hit it”.
Not “I need this removed because I can’t stop myself from clicking it”.

Lower GP guilds who over-commit to a higher raid tier than they can handle need a way to abort the raid.

For a heroic raid, there is no advantage to aborting it. You need a minimum of 2 days to earn the tickets for another attempt (even at a lower tier) anyway right? And the raid lasts for only 48 hours once launched.

Heroic raids expire, yes, but T-6 and lower do not - they will remain open indefinitely until completed or aborted. A lower GP guild could be stuck in a T6 Sith raid for weeks if they had no way to abort it.

Ok, this is getting rather funny. On the one hand we can't trust them to make a relatively simple change. On the other, we want them to provide us with new content and give us less bugs. And we are rationalizing one with the other. Can't you see how it's oxymoronic?

I came here figuring that this would be a small enough change to ask for and would benefit the guilds and officers in the long term by reducing mistakes and possible retribution. What I found is people who are terrified that CG will break something while at the same time want more content/features/bug fixes from them.
No wonder the game is dying. I've been playing this game for almost 5 years. I am an officer in one of the top guilds in the game, and this conversation has made me want to quit more then all the CG incompetence we've experienced so far.

You would have a point if the two arguments you listed were made by the same person. I argued that it isn't worth the time to remove it for little benefit. I never argued that they couldn't do it without messing it up. That was another person. Who has a different opinion.

Grouping criticism of your idea by two different people and calling out them for being different is not a good defense of your idea. You tried and failed to convince me that this is worth even a minute of dev time. Pointing out that another person has little faith in cg doesn't change that at all.
