    Duty finder clusters several servers together when looking for a group. What do you think my chances would be of finding a healer/tank on my server alone vs looking on a cluster of servers of people who are specifically looking for dungeons?

    I know its a strange suggestion but it's STILL easier and quicker to put together your own group. Just try it.

    Even if what you suggested worked it still doesn't change the fact that there is a fundamental flaw with the system when it is this hard to find dungeons in the duty finder. I doubt that when SE created the duty finder they wanted people to wait possibly over an hour to find a dungeon with it. Something has to be done or it may turn away newcomers. There are a lot of impatient people whose first thought would not be to try to form their own group in server, rather... they would get angry and possibly think about unsubbing because of it. That is my main concern.

    And if people are so god awful impatient and lazy that they won't make their own party and leave because the queue isn't fast enough then I say mission accomplished we just weeded out some terrible person from the community.

    Hmm.. I hate to bring up that "other game" but in their version of duty finder it takes about 10 minutes at most for a dps to get a queue for a dungeon. Having to wait more than an hour for dungeons that are also needed to progress your story further along to unlock certain things...I do not know how this is what SE intended for people. As to the second part of your post... I'm not sure why you would want anyone to leave no matter how terrible of a person you think they are. Them staying subbed means more money and success for SE. More money and success for SE means more content for you, churned out at a faster rate.

    you should check the option "join party in progress" and select all languages. although sometimes you will find out why the party is missing a member...

    So what your saying is that people will get angry for putting themselves in a line? Man really is an evil creature, lol! On a serious note, the Duty Finder lets you remotely access a dungeon with a party set up… Seems to me that this is the way it was meant to function. If I'm right and you get in faster than the duty finder allows you it just means that you have a great server community everyone should depend more on.
