    Why is so hard to understand that people who queue the DF should mean they want to get into the instance and not have some overriding reason to go do something else? Be ready and click commence.
    Story quests and load zones seem like somewhat reasonable tasks to execute while waiting for a long queue, and don't strike me as players trying to game the system. Particularly when the queue estimate time is incorrect.

    And this would not be entirely in their favor, the suggestion is for the DF queue to skip over them so it would increase that player's wait time by whatever amount.

    There are only a limited amount of story quests. And people should not be changing zones all the time. The odds of those colliding with a queue pop is really low, so the 3 strikes per day are more than adequate insurance against that. So you earned 1 strike, it is not a big deal, you got a string of your story done quests done in exchange. This is a fair and reasonable exchange for reasonable tasks.

    Loading, yes. Cutscenes, no. You could easily grief other players by not advancing the cutscene.

    I fail to see how you can grief others if the queue is skipping you while in a cutscene. Unless you're talking about a situation where you're literally the only person in that role for a certain period of time. But proper implementation should be transparent to anyone on the outside. To everyone else in the group it should look as if you weren't in the queue at all. So I guess that's trolling the queue if you consider a tank that doesn't queue for low level duties to be trolling the queue.
