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.

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.

Neither do i trust them to make this change without screwing up.

Imagine if they removed the “abandon” button and next bug that appears is ironically raids being randomly abandoned. :o

If only we had a disappearing abondon raid button bug

Plus the confirmation needed.

One time I took my phone out of my pocket and the screen said are you sure you want to abandon this raid?

I had already pocket opened and cycled to this point. One more click and it would have been gone. Turns out cellophane activates some phone screens... Good info if u ever wanna cover tracks and hide from the Empire.

So don't put it in your pocket with the screen on, problem solved.

Second officer to confirm would be a good start at least if they dont want to remove the abandon raid button from heroic. Few weeks back we had an officer who accidentally abandoned the heroic sith raid an hour before join phase was over because they'd been drinking most of the day.

And aren't we all?!

I remember one guy in my old guild pushed that button.
And 5 min later he quitted the guild :D
That was his way of saying bye i guess

there is (or was at one point). I somehow managed to click abandon in my pocket once. I was very glad the confirmation kept me from accidentally abandoning a raid for my guild.

I never turn off my phone while on that screen anymore.

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

We did this when STR launched, we aimed too high (but not heroic) and there would have been no way to end the raid otherwise. It would have taken us a month to get through.

You're not the only one. I remember those days. It was either wait a couple of weeks being ticket limited or quit and do a lower tier.

I'm glad the quit button was there at that time. Now we clear all raids in less than an hour so no big deal but there are other guilds that don't clear them that fast yet. So it's still needed.
