Automatic commence fuction for 24 man raids

[LaylaTsarra]

I don't really understand the way they queue people for raids and dungeons. It seems to me that when you have someone not accept that the queue system reshuffles you back into the system with an entirely new set of people as opposed to keeping the current group together and simply adding whatever role failed to accept. At least that is what my experience seems to show.

Very frustrating when 23 people are there and one doesn't accept and you then find yourself in a queue with less than half that number.

It's actually beneficial, mathematically, to find new members from scratch.

Here's a hypothetical: Let's say, for simplicity sake, 16/24 people are available and queued as two parties. Then a 6 man party and a 2 man party queue up. But the 2 man party has one member AFK so they fail to commerce.

If they kept everything there, then you'd only be seeking two people (either a two man party or two individuals). It would also restrict those two as whatever roles you are missing.

So if a full 8 man party queued, or a 5/3 PSU split, or 4/4, or 4 pairs of 2 that don't have the missing specific roles you need, they would automatically be ignored because you're looking SPECIFICALLY for whatever failed to commence.

The current system would just match the available parties to try to prioritize the people who queued the earliest.

Oh and to add: the only way "saving the party" would work is if you couldn't queue for multiple duties at the same time. Because if you have almost everyone for one duty but then fill up another, what takes priority?

^ This. It's especially frustrating when the queue pops within ~3 mins, someone withdraws/doesn't click, then you're back to the end of the queue and end up sitting for 30+ mins...
I've even had it where it was a full pt, reserving instance, then suddenly everyone was gone in the queue except me and two dps, didn't even pop up to withdraw. Stuff like that makes me wonder if the system replaced me and those two dps and just let the rest of the pt go in.


Also, for those people who spam withdraw because they're not getting in progress. Stop that. You're causing other people to have longer queues / get thrown to the back of the line.
