As what, a tank?

If you hit decline to join you should have a 30 seconds lockout. If you had a legitmate reason to decline it, it'd probably take longer to resolve whatever issue that kept you from joining than the lockout. There's no need to escalate the lockout. If people want to try every 30 seconds until they get something they want I'm okay with that. I'd think most people wouldn't be that bored.
This is a flawed way of thinking. Sure, let people skip a boss or two. Or why bother having bosses? Let's just give people items! Why bother having items? Let's just sit around with our thumbs in our arse.
The point is, its a game. The items encourage people to play parts of the game. So no, people shouldn't be allowed to skip parts, because then there's no point in playing the game at all.
I am happy LotA is content I can run and mostly enjoy. I am not happy with the 30+ withdrawns I have to deal with first before actually entering the place. Does it happen every time? 30? No. It is extremely rare I get under 10. Not everyone is going to see this problem every single time. I am sure next thing people will say is that we have old computers and bad internet causing the withdrawns because THEY don't see it.
As a person that plays PLD, WHM & SMN. Let me illustrate why people do not care for tanks that complain about QQing on such matters.
Waiting Times for CT JP/EN selected:
PLD: ~ < 1min
WHM: ~ 20 min
SMN: ~ 55 min
Waiting Times for CT EN selected:
PLD: ~ < 5min
WHM: ~ 50 min
SMN: ~ Forever
Waiting Times for Ifrit X JP/EN selected:
PLD: ~ < 1min
WHM: ~ 30 min
SMN: ~ > 60 min
Thus, dear Tanks. When people see you saying stuff like "amazed at the amount of QQ on this thread....". It comes across as troll and is not helpful.
For tanks that want to tell me, go roll a tank. FYI I have one, just in case someone asks me to get one.
But agree that people should complain less and enjoy more :)
