    They need to fix in-progress queues first. I can't count the number of times where a FC mate asked for help in-progress, I check the box, and then get stuck with a new group that's trying to form (and then suddenly I'm the scumbag for repeatedly hitting cancel when I'm trying to help an in-progress group not abandon).

    Yeah, something wonky is going on with instance matching currently. Last night and tonight I got an 'in progress' 0/4 dungeon, but on entering it was completely empty of party members and not even started. Tonight after being sorted into the same empty run twice in a row, I stayed around to see if it would fill. It filled us to 3/4, 2 dps, 1 healer (myself), but then it stopped searching. One of the dps dropped and immediately it went back to searching for party members, but stopped again after replacing the dps.

    Myself as well as other FC members have also experienced the inability to help a friend in progress who lost someone. It just puts us into fresh parties even though they are searching and we check the in progress box.

    Yes I was tankless in two runs recently, and even when I got someone I know to queue in progress they ended up in fresh runs.

    They need to do a check, based on how close the party is to the end, and how long left on the timer. Between two dungeons that have 2/4, the one with less time on the timer should ALWAYS take priority IMO, that run is far closer to failing than the other. As for 0/3 and 2/3, that should also be dependent on the timer IMO. If the group for 2/3 is at the final boss with 30 minutes compared to the 0/3 group that's either at the first boss or still at the entrance to the dungeon with 40 minutes left, the 0/3 should take priority since they'll come the closest to failing due to their location and the timer.
