Why is it that people NEVER type /resign no matter how many times you ask them too and instead just LEAVE.
Its worse when they say "meet you back at city" and your saying "just type /resign FFS".
Its like trying to bleed a stone to get people to use it.
Are people not aware what it is?
Do they think its some trick?
USE RESIGN!!!!!
[update]
Some people have said that people arent away of the code /resign.
But I wasnt aware of it until someone mentioned in a mission and I asked. I simply asked!!!!
From then on, ive used it. Ive understood it.
Its like word of mouth. The best way to tell people about something... provided they listen.
Also some have said it didnt work before nightfall was released.
I used it countless times in factions before Nightfall and it worked fine.
I dont mind if someone asks "what does that do" or "how do i resign".
Its those who blatenly dont listen to you.
You can stand there saying "please resign", "please type resign", "for the love of god type /resign" or worse as you get more fustrated.
Then some moron just leaves. And your all "WTF"!
I understand if they dont like the group then fine. But they say "restart" and just leave... its moronic.
Why do people never use RESIGN? and just leave

Probably a number of reasons:
- /resign was a new command, added some time after the Factions quickref was printed, and since a lot of idiots don't seem to understand "check the website", they haven't read the notes on the updates page
- The Nightfall quickref, I beleive, lists it, but it doesn't explain its purpose or function
- When it was first implemented, it was wonky. At first it would only work in Missions, and iirc it didn't even work in PvP
- Telling people to use /resign is a pain because even after 5 months of play, they're still too thick to understand where to bang it in.

ok the only reference to /resign I could find in the update notes was back in April:
Introduced a new command: /resign. This command allows a team to forfeit a mission as a group. All party members must type "/resign" for it to take effect.
Anyone care to explain how this command has changed and what it's practical use is?

/doh
Its practical use is the ability to quit a mission as a party. This way the whole party, or what's left of it, can jump back to the last oupost, in the same district, while remaning in the party.
Beats splitting up and trying to reform.

id guess that if you need to use the /resign command you sometimes would like to look for another party.

Before NightFall came out, I cannot remember one time where /resign actually worked, either in missions or just out questing. Maybe people think it's still bugged. I know I did until a few days ago.

Lotsa people ignore team chat a lot of the time unfortunately. If this is not the case, it's probably cuz they went afk.

Because they think its more fun to rage quit, to feed their 8 year old ego

My guildmates are hooked on the /resign command, especially when farming, or skill hunting. Example: We decide to cap all the skills in a certain area. Go out, kill first boss. /resign, pop back in town. Repeat until finished. It's always workd well for us.

While I'm sure some people simply aren't aware of the command, I suspect that most of the people doing this are simply too stupid to follow directions.

/resign = GOOD!

Just about every time I'm in a pug that needs to resign, someone says,"how do I resign?" Very frustrating.

I agree with Sir Mad, but I was feeling too nice to come out and say it.
The bottom line is that these people are morons, which is the answer the OP wants to hear anyway.

Many don't know about it. It's not included in any tutorial or mentioned anywhere. Most will not read manuals or own guides. Only a small portion of players knows what patch notes or where to find them.
Some simply forget.
Some don't want to rejoin the group in the first place.
But on the up side, it's catching on, especially in masters groups. Makes things go much faster.

Why wait for other people to /resign when you can just leave?
The Pointless
Way to miss the point, -.-
If everyone in the party uses /resign, the whole party is sent back to the last outpost without splitting up. This allows parties to give the quest or mission another go without faffing about for 3 hours trying to form a fresh party in an outpost full of imbeciles

I can understand the frustration. I was in a mission once with a pretty good group, and we had a player that ended up getting disconnected. So we all kind of said "screw it, lets /resign and invite that person back in". We all resigned except this one warrior who just kept fighting through the mission without anyone helping him. He just kept going and going and going, not seeming to care that we were dead, and that it said "<insertname> has resined" a bunch of times. Then when he got close to dying, he left....

/resign will count as a death, so survivors should not use it until they are ready to end their progress on the survivor title track.

resign doesn't count as a death unless you are below about 40% health, I used resign last night on my para when he was at full health and I checked deaths once in town, guess what it said.."You have died 0 times." Oh and more over I agree that people need to grow some brain cells and learnhow to type a simple emote that can save hours at a time. EVEN worse is where everyone has resigned, but one R-Tard hasn't resigned yet, then he leaves... There goes the entire resign command, since if ONE person leaves after the resign chain has started, then you can't resign as a group -.- very very annoying.

Resigning sucks. It forces players to give up when experiencing first waves of pressure. It causes players not to think of another tactics, or ways to recuperate and escape from that low moment. During the time i played tombs hardcore, there was no resign so were forced to play till there's our one last man standing. And victories from those "good comeback" games are much more sweeter. Even in gvg. With the guidance of a guildie, he often led us to victories even it was impossible to win.
There was one time, we were in Underworld. Noob guildies who just know how to farm fame were resigning vs an IWAY team we dont even know coz of deaths. Some of the veterans in the guild opted to finish the match, didnt resign, fought and yea, we won. Idk if those guildies suddenly lost their faces. was a good moment.
point is that, in pvp, resigning sucks. i dont even know why it was added. worst slash action ever.

I think resigning is great personally, it's great for a retry, and that is the catch in it, the ENTIRE party has to resign, so if a couple people are of a different mindset, then so-be-it fight on.. Also this thread is intended for mainly PvE and also the /resign vs. /ragequit (in other terms leave) dilemma.

I don't mind the people that leave instead of resigning, at least then the rest of you can still resign. What gets me are the ones that just sit there, they don't leave and they don't resign, no matter how many times you say it.
They force everyone to leave instead of resigning and staying in the group.

In PvE, people leave instead of resign for many reasons.
One that I haven't seen posted yet is that many have the mindset, "Well this group is going nowhere. /ragequit." It's not that the person wants to form up again, they specifically leave because they DON'T want to try with you again. Therefore, the purpose of /resign has no pertinence.
Then there's the "I didn't know about it," "It's bugged," etc. that have already been said.

alot of the time i want or have to leave a team though, is when everyine is dead, exept the one person. you know him. "ill brb". 20 friggin minuts later he gets back. either everybodys gone or half the people are dead. if everybodys dead, exept the afk person, you cant really just leave as a group.

^A recent update made /resign'ing in a mission count as a death, dont know if it was a bug or not, might have already been fixed.
Anyway, in PvE ALot of the times when you would need to /resign....Its just better for you to leave anyway because the group sucks.

The real reason why most groups aren't able to resign, because there's always one person that just doesn't know what you are talking about.

and i think my post doesnt suit the OP. i was drunk last night.

What might be a good update is to provide an info popup explaining the '/resign' command after a couple of people in the party have resigned. Not the kind that puts a button right in the middle of the screen, as it would be abused, but like the tutorial infos that appear on the top left corner.

Ah /resign I always found this annoying myself.
Often I've found (Always in PuGs), there always one or two people who won't type it no matter what.
I'm not sure if its a lack of understanding or if they have Team/Local chat turned off or if they are just being plain annoying.
My take on it is I always type this:
"Ok we have to restart, lets save time. Please type /resign and we be returned back to town"
I will repeat that 3 times, after which I leave. Because in truth I don't have time waste telling people to type 7 buttons on a keyboard
