Fixing APQ's botched runs when someone DC

Hello pals =D

Problem: For all APQ lovers, I think there is a common occurrence when one member DCs in the first two stages (until the rope stage), there is no way of completing the APQ, why this happens is because there is no way to click on the NPC when on the rope. Furthermore, when @ gm is used, the GMs will only say that sadly it is not possible to teleport the DC member back to the map

Suggested fix: The fix is singularly aimed to allow the other players to complete the APQ with 5 members, I can accept that the DC member will have to accept the consequence of incompletion because of their DC, thats the luck of it. But its manifestly unfair for the others, which will be explain below. So the suggested fix are 3 prongs with some technical specifications I'm not privy to so would appreciate if there was technical clarifications
1) Have GM warp the DC member back
2) Allow DC member respawn on the rope stage, ala Zakum JQ
3) make the map smaller so you can click on the NPC while on the rope.

I am aware that 1) and 2) circumvents the DC problem I stated above but that's just the way it is.

Explanation/Rationalisation:
Thinking about it, it is not very fair to botch the entire run given that APQ takes time too, just like KPQ, EPQ, LPQ, OPQ and even has the added time required to get keys. Additionally, there is a 6 hour respawn time for APQ. Unlike the latter examples, APQ simply cannot be completed in the rope stage if 1 DCs while the others can still be completed. From a fairness standpoint, that seems manifestly unfair, no? Okay some also raise boss runs too which does not allow the DC member to respawn, if 1 member DCs (only he accepts the consequence of DC), for the other members it makes the run **harder** but not impossible since the mission can still carry on.


Thank you in advance GMs. I deeply appreciate any clarity on the viability of the fixes and if this problem can't be fixed but merely boils down to luck and getting a new PC, then I have nothing further to add on or argue my case.
