remove or double time limit in duty finder!!

[Johnist]

They are just way too strict and very unforgiving for people learning an instance. They also don't allow for emergencies or needing to replace a member who had to go. It also encourages the rushed atmosphere that can so unpleasant for players who like to watch cut scenes ect.

1) Expect the unexpected.
2) There is plenty of time to finish an instance on the first go-round if all party members are intelligent and capable of learning.
3) They give you enough time on the clock for 2-3 wipes per boss. If you haven't figured out the tricks during those 2-3 wipes, then obviously you're doing something wrong, or you fall into the italicized and underlined portion.
4) Content will just continue to get more difficult... deal with it.

I have lost instances due to the time limit. Temple of Qarn and Brayflox to name a couple. The time limit is not as generous as you are making out. And there is certainly not enough time given to replace members who had to go or deal with real life situations that might occur.

Also I should point out the time limit is so restrictive that it makes attempting to join a party in progress almost pointless, because nearly every time I have joined one it was a failure because of a lack of time. So not only is it punishing for people learning an instance or needing to deal with real-life emergencies, but it renders that game option worthless. So it doesn't even sync with the game design.

huh... Well, Qarn was massively overpowered for a Level 35 dungeon and has been weakened. The only time I've lost in Brayflox due to a Replacement was when the replacement was undergeared or the rest of the party was bad.... So Qarn (along with Cutters Cry and Aurum Vale) are 'Exceptions to the Rule' which proves the rule on the other ones.

I disagree with almost all of your points, and not just because of your smug tone.

You are just incorrect. I have seem instances with intelligent people capable of learning fail due to the time limit.

and at that point, it becomes a GEAR CHECK issue. Were they undergeared? Likely. Was their Gear broken? Maybe. Thank the Twelve for the AIL requirement for High Level Dungeons now... of course, that won't stop you from changing gearsets inside (probably) but it will prevent people from queuing up without proper gear and accessories.
