About Kicked individuals returning to the same instance...

Tell your FC mate that the FC and other friends will make a point of going to dungeons with them. No more pugs.
What about the DR? Skip it (ofc you can team up for HM & Expert). What would you rather have, extra exp or no grief?

With respect, I addressed this earlier.

With so much reliant on instances to accomplish things. Waiting for friends to have a 'safe' instance becomes increasingly counterproductive, and with the lack of tools in place, the few bad apples in the community can leave a strong, lasting negative impression upon players. I'm just worried about the long term impacts of this, as it's straining my members at this point.

I pose a simple question: Why should an individual have to join a pre-made party only to evade players that a kick should have already addressed? It makes no sense even to me and not in the least to my FC mate.

I'm already pretty much reliant on at least partially premade parties on my Dragoon Character to alleviate queue times to play on my desired class. That much inconvenience I accept. But the fact that a kick has no consequence for a Tank who can simply rejoin the very same party by clicking "Join in progress" is unnecessarily enabling harassment.

My apologies. Clearly low on coffee this morning... ><;

Is it inconvenient, yeah... but this is pretty much how I and some others from my FC got through the game. My first ever DR experience had some twerp cussing at me (this was during Early Access) for nothing more than me saying I was having a hard time targeting with the controller. Hate to be so thin skinned, but that left a lasting bad effect on me.

There's other stuff to do while waiting for folks to be free (side quests, crafting, etc.). If we have fewer people online for some reason, I will 'stack' dungeon runs by telling folks "I'll go to X dungeon with you when I finish Y dungeon with SoNSo" (hell, swap help and have the same team go to both dungeons if they can.) I leveled and geared each role so I can fill the whatever's needed for any dungeon run.

That being said... I can't imagine how long it would take for the DF queue to check everyone's blist before signing people up. Can you imagine trying to get into CT or Frontlines? :/
