A party member has withdrawn...

[Deviant1]

It is absolutely an abuse and must be prevented
It is just sad (and outrageous) that a player would do this and make like 23 other people be aggravated about the duty ready that repeatedly fails.....

it is not an abuse, as it is normally not just one player. what happens is that several players will queue up into a database table. as pt slots open, player 1 gets the popup, hits withdraw, then player 2 gets the popup and hits withdraw, etc etc until it gets to the first player who hits commence. in reality, people should be glad that they are hitting withdraw as it would take a lot longer if they just let it time out.

What is outrageous is that people who want to start from the beginning believe they have the right to have people who want to skip a boss or two be forced into a fresh run.

the ability to queue for 'in progress' only would prevent all the excess popups and make it so the fresh parties can start quicker.

Considering in progress was designed to help the people who are in progress complete the dungeon I feel that it is outrageous that people think in progress is for them so they can skip part of the dungeon.
