I never ran into this issue with a controller... The L1 & R1 buttons make the Cross Hotbar the active window selections, not the Duty pop screen. When the L1 & R1 buttons are not held, the duty window would become active... the X button was to Confirm & the O button was to Wait.

There were instances when players were waiting for a queue to pop and during the wait they were engaged in other activities, such as gathering or crafting. If these players were in the middle of an action and the queue popped, there was a chance that there may be an accidental withdrawal from the queue. To alleviate this issue where players may have cancelled their queue progress after waiting, we added the “Wait” button and chose to make it the default selection.

This exact situation has happened to me dozens of times. I was coming here to say exactly this but Grek beat me to it. This was especially aggravating after the punishment was added for queue canceling.

It has been pretty common that I'm in menus, or gathering or whatever hitting the confirm button and DF pops and i hit confirm by accident instead. I've been running up to a hunt mob, hit X to select the mob, and boom I'm in a dungeon instead of waiting 20 sec for the hunt to die. Same with fates. I've actually missed a relic book fate this way. There are lots of times you hit the X button alone to navigate menus, activities that don't involve the safety of the shoulder button and duty pops have a nasty tendency to pop up during those times.

Fully support the new wait feature. It's awesome.

We had figured out why the Wait button was implemented... Why there wasn't a default you could set is what we're figuring out now.

Also, you have to be doing some mad button pressing to accidentally Withdraw. On controller and my keyboard, I basically had to spaz out with both to accidentally Withdraw. The situation that Tiggy and Izsha is more common, accidental Commencing.

I thought the confirmation of withdrawal was to combat that no?

Also agreeing with OP on this topic.

Personally I love the new wait option. It happened to me few times during gardening, where you just select a crop and bash X to fertilize, if duty pops you could only hope others take their time so you can finish fertilizing the remaining crops.

Thanks Grekumah, hopefully it isn't too much trouble for the devs to add a toggle in the options menu.

This exactly. In the end, I think this was a bit short-sighted of the devs--misclicks are presumably not happening constantly, consistently, or to everyone, so why does everyone have to be treated as if they need this triple layer of protection?

Pleaseeee give us the option to default to commence instead. Pleaseeee.

Not possible if you're gathering or crafting. You cannot accept a duty pop unless you are the same job as you originally queued. You also can't accept if you have quest, marketboard, retainer & some NPC dialog boxes open. Fates, & other open world events, yes it can happen if you're not careful.

So the one instance being the rare, someone is in a fate. Hmm. Please give us the option of a "wait" button.
