Not so much a bug as an annoyance: Average Wait-Time

The Average Wait-Time isn't really an Average Wait-Time, is it? It seems to be more like the game guessing. I noticed this after doing a some quests that few do anymore, and that I have a hard time soloing. Right now I'm doing The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 5. First it suggested 5 or 7 minutes, then it gradually increased. Right now it suggests 30 minutes. If no one has done the dungeon within a certain interval (24 hours might be good), then just show that. "Average Wait-Time: Probably very long" would be much better than 5 minutes that increases into the indefinite.

SO I've now waited 128 minutes on this dungeon. There are 4 DPS, 0 tanks, and 0 healers. There must be a time-out where you default to having completed the dungeon, so you can continue on with the story! Some of these old dungeons, that are solo-able by some, but not others, have to have some sort of automatic completion if the wait time is too long, you can not just expect all players to be lvl 80, or have the skill to solo dungeons. I don't know if this specific dungeon can be completed by your squadron, but even so, not all have done that, or are interested, so again, a non-solution.

The average wait time is a bit wonky but Coils are considered raids, not dungeons and as far as I can tell, they are not part of any roulette (unless its Mentor roulette--I don't think I've ever seen a Coil pop in Regular Raids but it still might technically be in there).

The only way to reliably access the ARR (lvl 50) raids, save for the 24-person Crystal Tower Raids and they can be just as bad or worse if you're queing for them directly, would be to use Party Finder. It might still take a bit but, depending on when you're trying to que, it will generally fill up faster than Duty Finder.

Coils often turn up in Wonderous Tails so depending on which one you need and assuming you don't mind running it unsynced, you might find a Party Finder entry already up for it.

Sorry, but I didn't understand anything of what you wrote. I was able to do it solo whit my lvl 80 pala btw, but turn 9 seems worse to do solo.

if you aren't getting fills for your parties go with Party Finder instead. a lot of old outdated content is not done in duty finder anymore. you must look for people yourself.
