    Dungeon Finder Pop Second Chance

    How many times has you, a DD, queued up for a dungeon, gone to go make a snack, and then come back and you missed your queue by a matter of seconds? I say DD since USUALLY healer/tank queues are so fast that you don't even get up.

    I propose that if you miss a queue pop instead of throwing you out of the mix and you coming back and wanting to punch a innocent Phurble that instead it puts you back in front of the queue just one more time, that is all I need just one more chance.

    Edit: Clearly some clarification is needed


    Ohhhh I had an idea whilst waiting, what if not a second chance but instead it warned you when you were high on the list? hmmm? A little thing that pops up saying "HEY YOUR QUEUE IS APPROACHING" ya know to let you know to stay put, now that would be quite snazzy.

    If it put you back in the queue, it would add you to the very back of it, which is no different than being kicked out and re-joining.

    Someone could easily make an app with this. Just have a listener execute code to press 0 to confirm log in after getting queued. Then automatically type in party chat "brb- 5 mins" or something to that effect. Only 2 obstacles.

    1. Can't do it without knowing what the sound effect event for dungeon queue is, and to find out would violate TOS.
    2. Would be really open to abuse.

    I've had the queue pop, and not even alert me before, and i was playing still. And its not something like it popped up and i refused, like it popped, and i didn't get to hit anything. So a second chance would be nice.

    Yeah, around last week I PUG with other people from my server at Amdapor. Was at Prime time, 15 minutes still "reserving instances", 30 minutes still "reserving instances". Then I decided to go to the toilet. When I back from the toilet (for like +-2 mins) the duty finder window already gone, I missed to click the "Commence"

    This, if only we know what's our current position on the queue, things like this wouldn't happen.

    I've recently been doing more difficult crafting and have found out, If I'm not near completed when the queue pops, I don't have time to finish it to the best of my ability. I end up having to rush it.
