REMOVE TIMER IN DUNGEONS
One person quit. We lost 30 minutes on the timer. Result? Wasted 1h30 on a dungeons because timer kept going while someone left.
Its so useless anyway.
Timer is ruining game play. If someone quit, good luck on finding someone on time or you wont do the dungeon on time.

Timer is to avoid congestion of the instance servers. :V They made them much longer, but I doubt they'll remove them, sorry. :B
-
Don't just stand around, leave the dungeon, regroup, and try again. Did you really just stand around for a whole hour?
-
Instead of waiting, just Re-Queue since you seem to already know that you won't find someone in an adequate amount of time? Timers aren't "useless".

Those are interesting notions coming from a Gladiator and Arcanist, which have fast queues (if the ACN is SCH), but it doesn't mean a lot to a DPS class. Leaving queue means waiting longer than for a replacement.
I say that as a tank (pld) and healer (whm) who has never had to experience the torment of dps queue in this game.
However, OP, the instances are pretty packed, and it is to avoid congestion. :/
I've met several people that didn't know about the "in progress" checkbox. Make that box more prominent and give some enticement for joining in progress runs, and things might go a lot better.

I agree timer needs to go.

Re queu as a dps mean, go wait 45 minutes and wish that your next group will be good enough or dont quit. I wasted my whole day trying to do temple of qarn. Lot of bad groups, leaver and trying to get a group waiting 45 minutes to get a group.

The only thing I want is for timers to stop during cutscenes. :3

I don't think they need to go but I do think some change is needed, or at least some way of getting a replacement player in quicker. The long wait times of usually a minimum of 45 minutes as a DPS is extremely tedious to the point where like the OP it's better to just sit and hope someone joins then to spend the time requing. Though people sitting there waiting 30 minutes for another player isn't helping the already congested instance servers.
