Locked out of the Duty Finder.

Is there any reason why the entire party has to be affected by the doings of a single player?

If you're entering something as a partial pre-made party, be it with friends or via the PF, etc... You should either know these people, or be performing ready checks before you press that button to reserve an instance. Failure to do so is at the fault of the party leader. This system is working as intended. If you queue solo, there is no way that people can screw you over with this system. If you queue as a full pre-made party (or alliance in the case of CT/ST), there is no way that people can screw you over with this system.

I hope that helps clarify what Camate is telling you.
