The whole day lol. SE is pretty strict on people using the Fishing method to fish in progress.

On Patch 2.4.

kewl. I'm gonna add your comment to 1st post if you don't mind. Thanks.

This is a perfect example of how good intentions often lead to unintended consequences.

This is a perfect example of how people were careless before the implemention of duty find lockout.

Like @ BobbinT said: "Be wise! Be responsible on what you did and understand the consequences".

Well either they apply it only to the person that hits whitdraw or they will put something similar to how you get a confirmation window precoil before DF queue is registered.

Or maybe it's an actual bug that needs to be fixed.

While I am all for this system of stopping trolls in the queue. A 30 minute penalty to the full party for 1 person in a pre made party not starting or hitting withdraw is dumb. Or 3 of 4 players in queue and someone misses the queue popping and everyone takes the hit, dumb. The person screwing up needs to eat the 30 minute penalty and be booted from party. I have not had this happen with any friends I have queued with since 2.4 but I know some have gotten up for a sec or hit the wrong button on the rare chance before 2.4. This really makes me want to queue solo and not find out we are in a 20 minute queue and one person in my party is in a cut scene and the whole party eats the penalty. The person that messes up takes the hit not the party. Good plan, poor execution if what OP said is right.

30 minutes.

30 minutes.

He was asking if you do it 3 times in a row. 3 time in a row is one full day lockout.

There isn't a 30-min penalty for every withdraw, I can tell you that. Yesterday, I was seeking on DRG (yeah, I wasn't expecting to get in anytime soon, what with the Ninja Horde and all), and Duty Finder popped up while I was in the middle of a main scenario cutscene. I knew it wasn't going to be over anytime soon, and didn't want to keep the other queuers waiting, and so hit withdraw, confident that they'd get a new DPS pretty much instantly. It was my first withdraw of the day, and so I was confident I wouldn't be penalized in any way.

Sure enough, when I reregistered five minutes later (after the cutscene was done), I was put right back into the queue. There was no penalty, 30 minute or otherwise. Later that evening, while with a party, I attempted to register for Syrcus Tower while I accidentally still had Sastasha (Hard) checked. I withdrew from that, and was able to immediately reregister for Syrcus. Again, no penalty.

So your first and second withdrawl each day is completely free, no strings attached, no penalty of any kind. What happens after the third, whether its a full day or 30 minutes, I do not know, and have heard conflicting reports on the forums.

I'm just assuming the 30 minutes penalty based on what BobbinT say here. It does feel strange too if they do add the 30 minutes penalty just from not clicking commence, which I was some what confused in his 1st scenario when he said he have 30 minutes penalty from it. 3 times is a one day lockout though, it is said on the patch note.
