Ignoring Bozja Solo Queues—Greifing?

As title, I want to bring this up as an issue to the devs and hear what everyone thinks.

I didn't think it would happen often enough to even be an issue to begin with, but here we are.

Edit for clarification:
I meant duel queues.
Specifically when someone queues for a duel, gets selected, but doesn't show up.

Can you explain what the problem is?

Are you talking about CE's? Or Castrum? Or general groups?
Are you saying other players are refusing to invite people who enter on their own?
How often is this happening to you?

I've never had any issues like this.
Except for one single CE, where there was a full party of 8 and then just me and a RDM.
I partied with the RDM. He died every 10s. I basically played solo. It was fine. Apart from the Lost Arise I wasted on him.


Edit after clarification:
Ah yes, that is a big issue I think.

I think maybe 2 or 3 other players should be selected as 'reserves' and if the selected player either doesn't engage or dies within the first 60s, then it pulls in another player from those reserves.

As for whether or not it counts as 'griefing', like most things you can't know why the player hasn't accepted, and punishing players for say a real life emergency isn't going to fly.

You don't have to invite a solo player and you don't have to join a group as a solo player.

There are enough logos actions to help the solo survivability while doing the same/ more dmg then anyone in a group.

CLL is machanics wise easier then your normal alliance raid and with the additional actions even easier.

It'd be cool if when someone died and wiped completely that the Duel reset with the same timer, but slotted in the next person.

They said they were hotfixing the Castrum timer so I hope they will also take a look at this one. It's happened too frequently at this point.

It would definitely be an improvement for the other people who got a Duel request as well, applying then dismissing it robs other people of the chance.

This is one of the hardest achievements to complete, and the issue lies of being gated of pure RNG. People like me who would go all the way to put up the work to trigger a fate spawn, that would also unlock the necessary Critical Engagement to unlock 1v1 would most likely not be chosen. It's aggravating, a headache, and time consuming. I really want the devs to take a look of this issue and adjust it accordingly. This particular content is a grief indeed.

Suggestions For example: Those have successfully qualified to accept the dual may transfer into another instance such as Castrum Lacus Litori. Or as stated above: Have other players be reserved. If the current player has failed, the boss resets to full health and that would allow another player next in line to take a turn.
