Lockout Timer for Withdrawals is soo stupid

[Ditto]

The only issue I have with the lockout system is when you are in a cutscene, and are unable to do anything but withdraw, unless the cutscene ends fast enough. I've been behind on my story missions so I've been catching up on them, and while doing so I like to sit in queue because they aren't exactly instant. But they have a habit of popping the immediate a cutscene starts that winds up lasting longer than a minute. This has happened 3 times, all separated by hours, yet even still, after the 3rd withdraw, I was locked out for 30 minutes.

That in itself is just stupid. I can understand the lockout system being made to prevent people from trolling queues by queuing multiple times without ever accepting in short bursts. However only 3 withdraws at any point throughout the day, after the 3rd, you will always get a lockout? What does this do exactly but act as an annoyance for people who are actually trying to queue legitly?

You were punished for lack of situational awareness and also causing 3, 7, or 23 other players to have a que failure. That is a risk everyone takes when doing story, levequests, fates, hunts and crafting. If you are worried about strike 3 don't start doing something else that takes time while in a que when you already have 2 strikes.

Oh god what horror, they had to press ready a second time immediately after because I'm a DPS and there are millions of DPS just waiting in queue who would've taken my spot the immediate the queue withdrew anyway!

That 'punishment', is a joke.

My advice is to not queue for anything when doing story missions. The CS are enjoyable (for me) and lengthy. If you are not the type of person who rushes through the MSQ you run the risk of missing the queue popping and eating penalty.
