Chocobo kicks me from duty finder....

I've been leveling my dps and it can take upwards of 20 minutes or more to get in for the daily roulette, half the time I forget I'm even in the damn thing because I don't wanna sit there and stare at the wall for 20 mins, so I'll go off and do a leve or fate or something and during those it's nice to have the chocobo companion out to help me kill stuff and heal and level the companion but with no warning whatsoever it disconnects me from the duty finder, so 20 minutes later I remember that I was... WAS in the duty finder and it was at 20 mins before I even started doing leves and such and summoned the chocobo, so that's 40 minutes I've been waiting on the damn thing now and I've gotta wait another 20+ minutes on top of that now.

I get that for *reasons* the chocobo pet counts as a group member(god knows why..) but at the very least I would ask a warning be placed when in duty finder and summoning the chocobo or heck even entering a group of any kind because I really don't like the idea of waiting 20+ minutes for nothing(who does?).

I imagine this isn't as much of an issue for healers/tanks(I know it isn't for healers, I get a group in 5-10 mins max on my SCH) but for dps this is a real pain. On a side note I typed this entire message with no worries of the duty finder actually finding me a group, it's at 20 mins again now.
