Hi,
I'm new to the game and I did my first Esseles Flashpoint tonight, after a good hour of fighting through and some serious social point gaints (needed for another quest) my partner DC'd and I was left alone and at only level 11 could definitely not complete this myself. After all my work I lost all my social points and progress in the Flashpoint due to no-one else being around to join my group.
I just feel there should be some form of failsafe and compensation for someone when this happens, I feel after putting in all that work I've been let down in some way, by my group and the game.
