That's great Bayohne, could "Join Party in Progress" be checked by default? At least in the Frontline queues. Generally I forgot to mark that option, and I suppose I'm not the only one. Or have an option to check that option as default, or make the client remember when you checked it.

Why not just have everyone put into a lobby (the arena) and start the 2minute timer once all teams fill? It stops the game actually starting while one team has insufficient numbers.

Or, penalise people who hit withdraw several times in a row. Yes, some people will have a genuine reason to withdraw. Perhaps they just spilled their favourite sugar filled energy drink all over their keyboards and need to clean it, but someone withdrawing several times in a row (at least 2 or 3 times) can be seen to be a bit more of an attempt at annoyance rather than having to genuinely afk.

From the Patch Notes:

http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/p...c_dia_blue.pngChanges to the Join Party in Progress and Language settings in the Duty Finder interface will now be saved.

Maybe some content shouldn't have that as an option at all. I still don't understand how anyone believes this is a good design for a random dungeon matchmaking system. If you want a fresh run, queue a specific dungeon. Otherwise the tool should filter people into dungeons as spots need to be filled.

Seriously Square, you guys need to fire all the QA involved in testing this.

Or go into a rant ending with, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"

I'm going to the movie next month!

I gave up at 69:38, with the average wait time being 30m.

This is lame, and really makes me not want to participate in PvP in any way in the future. Such a waste of time.

I guess at least we'll be in, but.. how many "Party Leaders" are really going to pay attention enough to get replacements in?

Measure 3 from the post deals with that and will be implemented next week (i.e the auto add players to fill slots).

I agree. Why they can't just automate the system like EVERY OTHER GAME ON THE PLANET is beyond me. SE insists on doing such dumb things I can't even imagine where their minds are with some of this stuff.

I can understand that if they waited too long and want to leave, but I can not understand when it "Ding! 30 sec for you to choose enter, and then someone "Withdrawn from Duty" again!! Already time that they can enter, but they not enter?

Trolls and people trying to get a queue pop at the same times as their friends.

That's only if there isn't enough people. The game is finding 72 people. The problem is people are declining the queue.
