Penalty for going to the toilet ...

[Lambdafish]

Unfortunately this is life and there's nothing that can be done about it, its not SEs fault, and in all honesty I'm happy the penalty is there (the horrors of 2.1 before the penalty).

As for the diadem, with the way that NMs work, having an incomplete party is a very bad thing, and at the moment I think thats what they are focusing on. Though I think a gathering DF option that works like PVP (scales down the match if there arent enough people) would be a nice addition, though im wondering how allocating an entire large instance to for example, 3 people for 90mins would affect the servers.

I know this is a rant, but you have to look at the bigger picture. The only way to shorten the queue is to have more people running it.

Or they could, you know, let you pause your queue and resume when you're back.

Since I don't have much experience with other online games, is there any example, or could you explain how it would work? I don't see how "pausing" your queue would be possible other than just withdrawing before getting a penalty.

You seem to be misunderstanding the concept of a queue. If you're in line at the post office, you can't "pause" to go the the bank and pick up your same place in the line with the same people when you return.

But if I go to get a haircut, and there's a 25 minute wait when I walk in, I can put in my name and go next door and eat without losing my place in line.

An indefinite pause would be too easy to abuse, but a 5-10 minute hold wouldn't be unreasonable.

In the case of a haircut you're waiting on the barber who presumably knows how long he will take. With a duty queue you're waiting on other players. 7 people shouldn't have to wait for one.

And they wouldn't have to. It would just be a matter of changing your status so you don't get matched with a party/instance.

That is literally the same as withdrawing.

That the same thing as withdrawing and requeueing when you are back.
