What're You Going To Do About 1hr+ Pre-Made Queue Times?

Noted. I misinterpreted the original post.

So...you're wining because they fixed a bug that allowed players to exploit a dungeon to complete it far faster than was originally intended? I'm guessing then you will also complain when they stop people from warping and botting too.

Que times are that long for DPS throughout the game, and in most games where people are DPS. Instead of griping about waiting an hour to get thrown into groups with sub-par players half the time why don't you get a decent Free Company and form groups the good old-fashioned way. Also, there is really no way that Square can fix this issue unless they...what...impose caps on DPS per server and force people to play tanks and healers so that a more diverse group will be using the duty finder at the same time?

Tell more people to play tanks or healers and quit whining about Square fixing a bug. And use proper sentence structure and grammar while you're at it.

Please read the thread carefully before you post anything again

Apologies if this is no help, but in case you didn't know, you don't actually have to stay as that job while you wait. You can change to something else (gatherer, crafter, whatever). Then when you get the notification you have those 45 seconds to change back.

Unfortunately it does mean you can't join any sort of party though, including bringing out you own chocobo as that'll cancel you from the duty finder.

Like I said sorry if that's no help, but thought best mention in case you don't as it might prove useful.

Yeah this Chocobo BS needs to be fixed. You can't do jack with it. Can't talk to NPC's and DF stuff too.
His restricting as hell. Also Que time is long in general, unless you tanks are having a hard time then there is clearly something wrong with DF if I am healer and takes forever to party a dungeon.

I suggest SE do what most other MMOs do, put in locks to prevent excessive constant running of instances for grinding purposes, that'll fix your queue times.

How about that as a solution?

[Kraggy]

Yeah, sadly this issue exists. It is a new issue to me. Never played an MMO with this kind of problem.

FFXI is the same, it seems to be SE's bizarre way of handling instances.

Well the speedrun exploit well...was an exploit so that's alright for a fix.
AK is for those Tomstones right?
What they need to do is go ahead and make other dungeons available for more of those.
Everyone relying on a single dungeon so it's full. Or if they do already, lower AK Tomstone and even it out
so people can just run any dungeon.

I had that happen in WoW quite a few times...when it had 12 million players.

Maybe SE is approaching that number already with this game.

Cooldown timer for each instance would be a temp solution. I am a bit upset about this whole deal but then again remembering how vanilla FFXI used to be like back in 2001 with their party build makes me feel nostalgic.
