Locked out of the Duty Finder.

... It's not like I should be expected to sort out the network problems of some random stranger on the internet.

Why not? If you want to raid successfully, sometimes you need to help people sort out their mumble, TS, etc. If the network lag issues can't be resolved it will be impossible to have them in your static. Be proactive and help solve the problems that you can.

...it discourages players from grouping with strangers.

Yet fact remains, people queue on the PF and DF even while the whole server went to the crappers last night. Got 90K-ed out of Mog EX 3 times before everyone gave up and went to bed. People don't need to be withdrawing, period. It should be a rare exception that it happens. People trolling others with withdraws need to be reported to the GM. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. You shouldn't need a 3rd strike to report the withdraw troll or to not party with the troll.

.. Stop making excuses for a poorly implemented and designed system.

The system is implemented just fine and is working great on the whole. The withdraw boss only shows up right around the time of the daily reset. Queue ST or CT at around the reset time, and you have to click commence 15 times to go, other times of the day, it is at most 2 withdraws. As it is, the system is already too generous and lenient and penalty is too light, if there is any fault.
