Just make a queue system for party finders

It is widely acknowledged that one of the primary challenges with the party finder is locating a suitable group that aligns with your current progression. Unless you happen to be exceptionally fortunate, you may encounter a series of setbacks before glimpsing a faint light at the end of the tunnel. This is understandable, as party finders are predominantly utilized for assembling individuals interested in challenging content. However, frustration often sets in due to extended waiting times, boredom, or skepticism about the party's potential success.

Once a player decides to quit, it's not uncommon for others to follow suit to avoid the inconvenience of waiting another 30 minutes to find a replacement DPS. Consequently, everyone departs with a bitter taste in their mouths.

To address such scenarios, I propose that Square-Enix implements a system allowing players to view both open parties and those in progress. If a player leaves, others can join a waiting line and be promptly invited to the instance. This solution benefits both players and closed parties. Players gain awareness of ongoing activities and potential opportunities to join an instance, discouraging them from giving up too quickly when searching for a suitable party. Simultaneously, parties can anticipate substitutes if someone needs to depart.

Taking this concept further, party leaders could schedule raid times visible to players, facilitating the process of finding or forming a static group.
