Great piece of development genius right there. And what was it to counter? In progress fishing. An extended lockout for 3 misses in a short period of time would already have made a lot more sense than the current implementation.

Important HQ craft that will take you more than 30 sec ? Don't queue.

Phone ringing? Accept your Duty and tell your party you need a moment.

Nature calls? Hope your queue doesn't pop if your IRL "duty" takes longer than a minute. If it does, oh well; you still have another strike.

All those complaining are probably the ones who were abusing the system in the first place.

Let's see pre patch, queue for ST average wait time, 15mins, actual wait time 40 mins due to someone trolling and keep withdrawing

Post patch , average wait time 15mins, actual wait time 15 mins.
That's not terrible, it's long over due, now the kiddies can't get their kicks from wasting others time for fun

Look at the main class of the majority of the people who are complaining about it.

I also agree that this is a wonderful solution and was absolutely needed.

Pre-2.4, queue for ST:
Estimated wait time: 12 mins
Party found after: 4 mins
withdrawal time: 13 mins

This happened sometime within the last 4 weeks, I remember it well because it was the worst I ever had, withdrawals made me crazy that day.

I've run like 10 STs now and the highest amount of withdrawals was 3.

Best. Patch. Ever.

How does this affect you?

Enter by yourself, you get no strikes.
Don't afk while in queue. Simple as that. You waste everyone else's time when you withdraw or time out.

Enter with a group, make sure you know the people and ready check before queuing.

This should have been implemented since CT.

I agree that three times is plenty. I think people are just upset that they are being held accountable. They can no longer abuse others and get away with it.
