    Things I did yesterday while waiting on a single queue:

    - Sent my retainers on ventures and managed my MB stuff
    - Killed an S rank
    - Did a FATE
    - Did three levequests

    And, amazingly enough, I managed to hit 'Commence' when it popped. The idea that you have to sit around in a sanctuary and not do anything while you're waiting on a queue is patently false. You just have to be intelligent about what you choose to do and not start something that you can't extricate yourself from in 45 seconds.

    When a loadscreen can cause you to miss commencement, it's a problem.

    Sure, we've used hyperbole ("virtually nothing") but never did we say you can't do anything at all.

    And if you miss commencement once, nothing happens. If you miss it twice, nothing happens.

    This is also why you should keep the DF window open so that you can track how close your queue is to popping. It's probably not a good idea to teleport around if your queue is sitting at 1/2 2/2 3/4. And I say this as someone who routinely gets stuck in loading hell.
