Suggest: Tank/Healer bonuses limited to "in progress" DF join

I'd suggest Tank and Healers, will get their bonuses only if they join DF with "in progress" option selected.

That because if a tank or healer leaves for any reason from a started duty, all the duty is compromised by the difficult to get a replacement.

wouldn't really care since i always choose in progress anyway.

They need to fix in-progress queues first. I can't count the number of times where a FC mate asked for help in-progress, I check the box, and then get stuck with a new group that's trying to form (and then suddenly I'm the scumbag for repeatedly hitting cancel when I'm trying to help an in-progress group not abandon).

Yeah, something wonky is going on with instance matching currently. Last night and tonight I got an 'in progress' 0/4 dungeon, but on entering it was completely empty of party members and not even started. Tonight after being sorted into the same empty run twice in a row, I stayed around to see if it would fill. It filled us to 3/4, 2 dps, 1 healer (myself), but then it stopped searching. One of the dps dropped and immediately it went back to searching for party members, but stopped again after replacing the dps.

Myself as well as other FC members have also experienced the inability to help a friend in progress who lost someone. It just puts us into fresh parties even though they are searching and we check the in progress box.

So... make it so that tanks/healers all queue but decline anything that's not in progress? Or accept but go in and afk, waiting for a kick then join in progress?

Yes :( I was tankless in two runs recently, and even when I got someone I know to queue in progress they ended up in fresh runs.

Amazing how often people fail to truly think an idea out and the possible consequences, huh?

The reward for joining in progress is getting the dungeon's final reward sooner than entering the dungeon from the start. That's why I think most prefer to join in-progress at least.

If anything, the reward should go just to those in need who had to put the most time into the dungeon, not the least.

How about just making these 'rewards' worth something?
Off topic I know, forgive me.

I really, REALLY tried to understand what OP meant...but I'm still lost. Someone explain it to me? Cause I could've swore that they're asking for tanks and healers to lose out on exp/gil bonuses if they just queue for DF roulette just like DPS would. Cause I could've swore that's the only time you get bonuses. And if you leave the dungeon while its in progress, you get no bonuses anyway.

So can someone try to make sense of what OP's trying to ask for and tell me?
