DF withdrawl has become the new "Fatigue" system

...
saw a hunt near by, switched to BRD to participate ...
If I had been in a party, everyone would have suffered for my mistake. Why should my actions impact others in such a negative way?
....

What are you doing trying to do hunts while waiting on the queue? You can not get full credit by yourself solo. This just a made up case. And if you are in a hunt party, you will not be queuing on the DF. This is nonsense, and you queue everyone if your hunt party on the DF, you are trolling them, and they will get mad at you.

What are you doing trying to do hunts while waiting on the queue?

This is the stuff that needs to stop. First it was what are you doing crafting while on the queue? Then came why are you doing fates if you can't change jobs fast enough?

Then there was this gem... (From this thread... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...68#post2595568)

Well then perhaps you need a warning before entering a cutscene that you are queued for a duty as you are taking the risk, not the 3+ other people.

Now its what are you doing trying to do hunts while in the queue? Do you people who ask these questions even take the time to think? Given all these "why are you doing "X" while in queue" threads, its almost like you expect people to queue and sit there and do absolutely nothing but stare at the screen and wait for the DF to pop. If that's the case what's the point in queuing for an hour anyway.

I am a supporter of the penalty for withdrawals. Have been since the start. Do I think it needs some changes? Most definitely. Do I know what those changes should be? Not really.

But despite what I may think, one thing I know is this... these "why are you doing anything but breathing while queued" questions do nothing to help the flawed situation that is the current system. Additionally, the constant blaming people for actually trying to do something in the game while queued for an hour need to stop (blame should be directed at, and only at, the DF trolls and people who go AFK for extended periods while queued who created the need for this in the first place).

Well but i am with barboron.

When you are in a cutscene and the DF window comes up, you should be able to accept at least the DF invitation.

if you accepted that invitation you should be able to start the last cutscene over again from the beginning, when its being interrupted by changing the zone into the specific content.


Because some cutscenes you dont want to cancel actually.

and it should work easily like that.

I agree with this. The more appropriate question should be '"Why are you trying to rush a hunt when your Duty Ready pops, and you know you aren't going to finish before your Duty Ready expires?"

You have 45 seconds to finish off what you are doing. It's not 45 seconds for you to pick something up and attempt to finish, because it just won't work.

45 seconds is enough for you to
- Press a gear set button to change jobs
- Run away from agro in open world (excluding beast tribe areas) and press a gear set button to change jobs
- De-level sync from your FATE/de-agro from your FATE and press a gear set button to change jobs
- Finish off your current gathering node (six hits max), put away your MH, and press a gear set button to change jobs
- Reel in your fish or empty line, get up from your chair and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Finish your current synth (Don't whine to me about High-level recipes. If you just started, you know to use Reclaim; if you don't have CP for Reclaim, you have time to finish off your synth), and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Abandon your Leve, take a moment to dance in despair and press a gear set button to change jobs
- Exit a maximum of 5 windows on your retainer, blow them a kiss goodbye and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Finish tending/fertilising your current plant, do a couple more, and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Finish watching a chocobo feeding CS, exit the menu and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Alt-tab back into the game, de-afk and press a gear set button to change jobs.
- Repair your items via NPC, exit the menu and press a gear set button to change jobs.

What 45 seconds is not long enough for
- Cutscenes which are not skippable
- Long loading screens due to hardware/S rank in the zone.
- Errors due to DDoS attacks and server/net problems
