Well I don't expect someone to sit in front of thier moniter doing nothing but watch the screen while they seek. Though they should check every few minutes so they can see if they got offers for parties.

Personally I hate replacing people in a party. Especially if a party has been going for a while. When I start a party, I expect that once we get to camp, start up, and get killing we'll have at least 1 hour or exp. Many have more time, many don't. But once you start replacing people, it makes me feel obliged to stay for another hour. Once you've been exping for 2-3 hours, I want a break. It's typically fine if you're a melee, but if you a job thats harder to replace it can be hard to find a rep.

I'm of the mindset that if someone leaves after the 1 hour mark into a party, you should disband or at least confirm that everyone has at least an hour more to party. But many people, kindly, find reps for themselves without letting anyone know they intend to leave. So all you get is the message that, "ok, my reps here, {nice to meet you}{see you again!}"

Well I was considering leaving too, but now we have a rep here and I don't want to leave shortly afterwards wasting the other guy's time.
