    I have to say the most annoying thing is when a FC member asks for someone to join them, you que up and end up in the wrong party's dungeon. Correct dungeon, wrong group. Horrible. That could be something to add in if what the OP suggested ever came to be.

    What is frustrating is when you queued for In Progress, assuming you'd go to the first in progress and that party would automatically get priority...... and you end up joining a brand new group at the beginning instead.

    Then, however, you are able to leave and reque, because you are not getting a penalty for leaving a dungeon if you entered through in progress queue. Maybe alongside that specify your language options to get baited into your friends group.

    ...Hmm. Are you sure about this? My understand was that in progress queues were penalized the same was as normal queues -- if the party/duty is full, you'll take a 30 minute penalty leaving, no penalty otherwise.

    Curious about that as well. The moral side of me would be having a dilemma leaving though. I hate leaving people out in the cold.

    It doesn't matter if you join in progress or not. If the party slots are completely filled when you join, you'll still eat a penalty if you leave.

    I can confirm this aswell. My friend needed a tank for a dungeon, I joined in progress as a tank and got placed in a new group that was at the starting place. I asked my friend if his group had already found a tank and he told me that he is still waiting for a tank to join his party. I left and wanted to try again, but I got a 30 minute cooldown.

    That's exactly what would happen. That's the entire reason they first removed being able to see if a queue was even in-progress and then also added the penalty for failing to accept a queue too many times in a day, regardless of if it timed out or you manually declined.

    Pretty sure you'd still get penalized in a situation like that. The only time you don't get a penalty for dropping is if there's a vacant spot in the party already.
