    Lol.
    If you're que'd and yours pops, either pick which one you value more, the instance or whatever you're crafting, pretty simple. Can't possibly be something that valuable, only an idiot would craft a highly expensive item while que'd.

    "a very stupid or foolish person"

    Someone who doesn't expect to be called upon to enter an instance at any random time after they sign up for that exact thing fits the definition.

    If you're TLDR guy, maybe you should refrain posting. And read carefully on that link you referencing with.

    I know what it says, which is why I linked it, though I imagine there's some inane reason you think you're clever. Besides which, point still stands that if you're not ready when your queue pops, too bad.

    One night it triggered 5-6 times after waiting 30+ minutes then had to wait 20 more minutes on it to trigger 2 more times then finally after a total of (iirc) 1 hr 06 minutes... If you are preoccupied with another task, don't clog DF and inconvenience others that have been patiently waiting.
    Trust me. I played frontlines before they implemented the "start frontlines even if one GC have missing players". And those you mentioned about ST is nothing compared to those.

    However you have to understand that not all who withdrew are trolls. A lot are actually legit withdrawals.
    Your justice system is punishing the innocent just because you have unreliable evidence that make them look guilty.

    Dude, as if I can control who or when the DF pops. And if I exactly know when the DF would pop, I would create a countdown timer and 2mins before the DF pops, I would stop anything that I would do and prepare my gearset so that I would just click commence when it pops. The DF trigger is not even controlled by RNG. It depends if there's one guy who decided to do the trial that I'm also planning to do.

    I'm not even talking about RL. I'm talking about trying to keep myself sane while waiting for DF.

    You think we have the luxury of time? You only have to wait a few more minutes for the trolls to dissipate. We've been waiting for hours just for the DF to pop.

    If people didn't withdraw constantly trying to spam in progress instances (or flat out troll), the restriction would have never been implemented.
    So you're saying it's our fault trying to keep ourselves sane while waiting for dutyfinder?

You have to wait 30 minutes again. You don't get the three strikes you're out. You only get one strike. Until reset happens. Then you get 3 strikes again.
    OK. I'm going to agree with this (and other similar posts).
    The prelim patch notes are vague. But I'm going to call you out again if it turns out that the punishment is as harsh as I initially thought and you're wrong.
