    CT isn't dead, it's that the Duty Finder is entirely broken. Through testing with my guild tonight, we determined that there were at minimum 3 different raids trying to be built, all of them about 2/3 full, and the duty finder refused to break up any of them to actually get any of them to run.

    WTF... I watched it break and re-form the group three times, and it still couldn't put together a full run. The DF is completely and utterly shot.

    I think you've got a point. I've been in this queue for almost 300 minutes and have seen the queue fill and empty without popping. It feels like I'm being skipped! The 24 man raids need a larger player base to pull from :X.

    I see this kind of thing all the time, even for normal dungeon ques. I have no doubt that DF skips people and also locks people in incomplete parties instead of sorting out a full one.

    Not sure if this was mentioned, but a quest to find our red-eyed catboy friend and wake him up would be nice. Also 1 tank, 1 heal, 2-4 dd versions of the towers sounds fun.

    Yeah, I see this all the time.

    And I've had people in the same role/job queue well after me, and get in long before I did. Because for whatever reason I got dumped out of mine and put into a new group.

    Ahh that's always the best. Queue in and it pops in 15 min, somebody doesn't click commence and you get kicked from that queue into a different one and have to wait 30 more minutes.

    Most certainly true.

    The buggy DF has been a topic on the forums for a while now. The PvP forums have brought it up a lot, especially, because the 3 way fights illustrate pretty clearly that DF has trouble sorting players out when it shouldn't. Pre-made parties only seem to make things worse, as the DF is incapable of splitting them up. It just seems to have a brain fart and gives up. The average wait timer is completely WRONG 90% of the time, and it seems to lock certain players in empty groups instead of filling blanks in groups that only need one or two more players to proceed.
