A party member has withdrawn...

This went on for over 15 minutes, and should never happen for this long. The first time you withdraw from a duty you should be presented with a 2 minute lockout that doubles each subsequent time until you enter a duty.

The sad thing is this is normal for everyone.

45+ minute queues as a healer because of this nonsense. I'd hate to hear how long DPS queues are.

For Crystal Tower the queue is only like 3 minutes, until this happens. It has now been going on for 20 minutes as I post this.

- Tanks fishing for easy tomes
- Groups trying to get into the same roulette party

Honestly though, in both cases, the collective time wasted (OVER AN HOUR) is better spent just running the dungeon properly in the first place. But hey, people are selfish and will gladly waste the time of 7/23 other people to get what they "need", plus the system is open to abuse at the moment.

hope they do something about it. And the day they fix it i hope these player come to forum and whine about lockout timer.

This is really starting to annoy me as well. I mostly see it with CT, but it does happen on DR sometimes too. Something needs to be done about it, but what exactly I'm not too sure.

I had this same thing happen this morning when queuing up for Labyrinth, and sad thing is, I can't see no way around this. Can't remove Join In Progress because that'll make CT an even bigger troll haunt than it is now. Can't queue up with 24 people beforehand unless you go through a lot of unnecessary crap to get around it.

I've pinged for CT within 3 minutes but getting in is an entirely different story, and takes 10x the amount of time when I first got the confirmation.

I like what was proposed once upon a time: 30s before you can re-queue, which will build each time you withdraw.

And that is exactly what's going to happen too. I'm kind of looking forward to the inventive excuses/reasons we get from the whiners.

In before "How else am I gonna get in with a friend."
