    And it became even worse once 2.38 came and ST started giving Newborn Star. I know very well both sides, I've been in the affected side more often than I've missed queues, but we cannot group those who miss queues with those people in the two screenshots I linked.

    When I queue for something, the queue is ready and one person isn't pressing commence I don't get angry, I don't assume that person isn't pressing commence specifically to annoy me or the other party members and, over anything else, I don't expect that person to get punished for not pressing commence.

    Whenever I thought about ways to stop people from doing what I linked in those two images I always thought about a really short penalty (like 5-6 minutes) just enough so if someone tries to fish for in progress runs it would take them longer to find a run in progress than to do a full run, but not too much so people who weren't trying to fish for in progress don't get locked out for too long.

    When it was announced in the patch notes I again thought it would be a short lockout, not too long so people don't end up entering instances and going afk to be kicked, and not too short so it's can still prevent "in progress" fishing, but now what we got is a 30 minutes lockout that for some reason also affects half-premade parties (that can't even fish for runs in progress).

    I'm not completely against the current system, I get to queue to ST with a max of one or two withdraws from folks who either weren't paying attention or were doing something else, but I'm not happy with all the "not intentionally griefing" people getting affected with this, I think the system still could use some polishing.

    Ugh I ended up writing a wall of text, sorry lol

    The last time or second last time we were in the same thread I asked him to not talk to me, as when he posts he rarely addresses the topic and only posts to flame other people or to start off-topic arguments just for the sake of it, I didn't add him to my ignore list then, but I did it now to save myself some time with pointless arguments with someone who believes he's always right and everyone else must work heaps to prove him wrong. But enough of Dwill, our issues are irrelevant to this topic
