Two Boxing

Is there a way to do something about players using multiple accounts "two boxing" in dungeons? Three times today, I have queued up for Duty Finder to grind tomestones for Manderville relic and realized we only actually had three players and a deadweight/carry. It was always a tank and dps. Presumably the tank dragging their second account DPS thru Duty Finder queues. It's blaringly obvious for healers when they have to babysit and constantly rezz a certain dps or tank who seems to be taking turns standing stationary in aoes and only auto-attacking while the other is moving, OR standing stationary two rooms behind on the map and having to wait as they run to catch up AFTER fighting is over or while we are waiting at the boss. Getting pretty annoying. I confronted one tank who self-proclaimed he was "doing just fine" playing both at the same time. smh If he was "doing just fine", the healer wouldn't be complaining, now would he?

Vote to kick? Surely the other DPS is noticing and also getting annoyed.

Hard to do when tank and the afk dps are the same player and both vote no for himself. I simply just leave now and queue for Duty Support instead. Takes a little longer, but at least I don't have to deal with these kinds of players.

In a light party you only need one person to vote with you.

The more annoying part is that vote kicks are on a 4 hour cooldown, so using a vote kick on anything less than someone outright abusing everyone in the party risks not having a vote kick available later when someone is outright abusing everyone in the party.

The tank vetoes by arguing (unnecessary drama) and leaving when we vote kick his afk dps account and causes the same interruption/disruption headache. Not to mention, the DPS actually doing his job, unfortunately, gets the short end of the stick and stuck in the middle as he/she now has to worry about going back to waiting in a long-ass DPS queue. Like I said, I just go Duty Support now. Less headache, albeit a little slower, but no wait time in between. The intent of my original post was just to see if anyone else has had run-ins with two-box players like these in their dungeons lately and if there was anything that could be done about them. I remember we used to have a terrible problem with bots in DF in the past and they pretty much got rid of them by the time Stormblood rolled around in 2016-2017, but this is a different situation, as it is technically a real player just doing alternating AFK between two accounts while in a dungeon instead of bots.

Addendum:

Anyone else seeing this in their DF groups lately or am I just incredibly unlucky to have 3 incidents in one day? PLD/DRG in Lunar Subterrane, GNB,DNC in Smileton, and then a DRK/MCH in Lunar Subterrane again. smh... Not a huge issue, just annoying to see it happening multiple times in one day with different players and different dungeons. Hope it doesn't become a trend.
