    Tanks/Healers that queue and decline repeatedly

    As the title states, this is about tanks and healers who queue up and decline duty finder queues repeatedly.

    This is an obvious form of griefing and it needs to be addressed. Sure, I could sit in Mor Dhona and spam for a premade party, dealing with the mass spam of the area, or use party finder - which I still need to spam because a LOT of people don't actively use that function. Or some would tell me to make a tank/healer - I have one of each.

    A form of punishment should be exacted on those that actively hit the decline button after a certain number of times. Like a 5-10 minute penalty where they are not allowed to queue, like the 30 minute penalty that's already in place for leaving a duty. CT and primal queues are long enough as is, without having to deal with people who actively grief in this manner. Sure some might actually be busy and hit the button - well.. they're busy. A 5-10 minute penalty wont phase them if they're actually busy.

    If I queue for WP or HM dungeons i'm looking for easy myth. I hit the "join party" just to find people close to or at final boss. If the party is fresh i hit withdraw and wait a few minutes.

    That's exactly why I hate using DF because people like you want the easy way of scoring myth tomes; I always spend several minutes waiting for an actual group to queue up because someone wants to keep withdrawing for not having the optimal join.

    on the bright side, the 10 minutes of party found/member withdrawn spam allowed me to go poop without getting dropped out of the CT queue.

    I've never fished for in progress parties. I usually don't even check that. The few times I have, it resulted in me understanding why the previous healer left.

    solution

    average out the total stones over all the bosses. it will stop people from withdrawing to get the last boss for the fast 40 tomes. if they will only get 10 myth tomes I doubt they'll play the game of "im a lazy SOB". example dungeon x has 150 normal stones drop and 45 myth stones drop. you take both numbers and divide them by the number of bosses. if someone is looking for fast rewards they will get what they deserve. in response to the person saying im looking for only the last boss for fast tomes I have a fix. if u withdraw 2 or 3 times you get slapped with a 24 hour in game ban from DF and all its components. so u have to be logged in for 24 hours for the lock out to expire. that will break the wagon of these jerk off healers and tanks abusing the system. dps wait in q for 30 minutes sometimes maybe longer. these people screw the dps over harder than any1. heres a break down of numbers from what I typed for example boss 1 would drop 50 and 15. bosses 2 and 3 would then drop the same amount.

    As many cry threads as people create from this, its not going to stop people from doing it. If you dont like it make some friends, or use the pf feature.

    That'd be fine, as long as the reward is accrued and then paid out on completing the dungeon. Otherwise I think you'll see some people dropping after the first boss.
