If I've done more than half of the dungeon, I'll stay till I win.
And yes it's annoying when people leave when they die once or twice. Hopefully Livia won't rage-quit

I remember once that I made Glint before the addition of HM.

It was something like:
- Me
- A Ranger
- 6 Creeps following us.

We got to Glint and they din't make a single thing to do when facing Glint. Monks got near her, warrior has no interrupt skills... they got killed.

But me and the ranger kept burning, poison and interrutions on Glint.

The creeps didn't stoppe telling /resign! /resing!

And two of them even rage-quited when the last monk died and we told them we had no hard-res.

But... how fun, we finally killed Glint, after a long while of maintaining -10HP regen, XD

1) Not really. If I don't see any visible reward, or point, I'll just give up.
2) Depends on my mood.

1) Yes, I try to at least. Sometimes the situation is a bit less forgiving than others but I still strive to succeed even in the most bleak situations. Perfect example:
Yesterday I was vanquishing Twin Serpent Lakes with H/H and the White Mantle was constantly giving me a hard time. The Sycophants keep a constant e-denial and shutdown on both me and Alesia (I am monk primary as well). I was at 159 or so foes with two groups left, and both happened to be White Mantle. I had -30 DP, and most of my heroes were around -20 DP except for Olias, who was still positive in his Morale, and only kept dying because he had Death Pact Signet on his bar.

I clear the first group of White Mantle fairly easily, as I had a full minion bomb ready to run in and explode. Fast forward to the final mob, I have ~6 minions and take a low-land approach to combat them, which was probably my first mistake. For some reason, higher ground seems to render one team advantageous in comparison to the other. I got party-wipe twice in a row and things were looking grim. I referred to my alliance for any help or suggestions and all they could say was "POWARSTON3 LOLZ!!1!" Well I don't use consumables. I also wiped out all the Lynxs prior to just to up my amount of vanquished foes, which was probably a bad idea. I had -60 DP, Zhed had -60 DP, MoW had -60 DP, and Olias was still kicking it real at +2 Morale. I went to Melandru's Shrine and spent my remaining 200g on blessings to relieve myself of a minor 4% DP. Whether or not it was the deciding factor, I'm not sure, but I also took a route that provided me with a level battle field instead of being on lower ground, and decided one last time that I would pre-prot myself with all enchants I had so as to draw out their Shatter Enchant.

I astounded myself. It was a horribly bleak situation and I was sure I would get wiped again, until the entire party was -60 DP and we'd get sent back to Riverside Province, but somehow, we just destroyed the Abbot and the two Knights. I died, and so did Zhed and Olias, but MoW kept alive and started anew his minion bomb and with just MoW, Alesia, and Orion, they took down the two remaining Sycophants for the vanquish.

I was so relieved

2) I hate it. Which is why I almost refuse to ever do anything other than H/H.

1) Yes, I always stick with it until I get to the point where I can't make any progress; Like if I res, run to the enemies, then I get killed in under two seconds.

2) Definately. I don't mind people if they need to leave for legitimate reasons, but people who don't stick with it when there isn't any reason not to are just plain cowardly.
