Duty Finder Suggestion

[Jambo]

Hey Square Enix

I am currently running into an issue with other players leaving duties (particularly hard mode Garuda) within the first few minutes of the fight. This happens on well over 75% of my runs and as such I believe the penalty for leaving a duty early needs to be made stricter.

1. Instead of 15mins, when the first person leaves a duty (within the first 30mins) I believe they should be locked out of the duty finder for 1 hour.
2. If the same person leaves say... 3 duties in a row (within the first 30mins), they should be penalized further, perhaps being unable to use the duty finder for 24 hours.
3. If someone continually leaves duties within the first 30mins, perhaps they could be placed into some kind of bad sport category so that from then on they can only be matched with other bad sports etc.

Obviously these can be tweaked to suit, I just feel that people give up and leave without trying because they believe its faster to just leave and then find another group due to the penalty not being strict enough. As a dps class, I generally wait 30-90mins to get into fights, only to have people leave within the first two minutes (generally the tank) which means I need to sit back in another 90min queue, while they can get an instant queue after a measly 15mins of being locked out. It may not matter to some people, but as a dps class with incredibly long queue times, it is incredibly frustrating and saps enjoyment out of the game for me.

P.s. This issue occurs across all dungeons, not just Garuda. I once had a cm group leave entirely before the first pull because a healer left. When it was just me left, I used the duty finder to find more players, and when those players arrived, they saw that I was the only one there and immediately left.

The duty finder is junk imo. Every single average wait time has been 20 times the estimated given time. If i have to wait that long to progress in a video game on a daily basis i will find something else worthy of my money. At this point the duty finder is one of the main reasons i cancelled my sub.

The biggest problem I see is tanks that queue and demand all the drops, then leave when a member of the party refuses to pass on all gear. Sure, they can re-que instantly, the DPS is left waiting an hour to get back in and hoping that doesn't happen again.

If you leave a full party in a dungeon you shouldn't be able to re-que that dungeon (or at all) for a couple of hours.

another big change should be the ability to talk to your friends and free company while in a dungeon and have the ability to add someone outside the dungeon to the group so they can continue the dungeon with you. if a healer leaves the group and i have to wait for the duty finder to find another for me? pls pls change this. its rly dumb i cant have a friend of mine come fill in the spot for me and the group, instead i get stuck waiting while the timer for the dungeon goes down

The duty finder is a bit bad, especially for the Hard Primal Fights. I tend to not find I have too much of that problem with AK/WP runs just 'cause I find a group in Mor-Dhona so if I'm DPSing I don't have to worry about the queue times. However for those times I do use Duty Finder I leveled up a WAR to 50 just so I would have 5 minute or under queue times instead of 30 minutes to an hour. I can't say I've ever had the problem of a tank demanding all the loot of a dungeon but it is a supreme pain that there is just such a lack of tanks because nearly no one wants to play a WAR tank since the PLD is generally just much more useful so that's pretty much half the possible pool of players gone already.

I admit to doing this all the time. I am not shy enough to leave for falsely being accused of something by a coil fanboy. Oh, I should learn to tank? You should learn not to wipe at 25% *Leave Q*. I love that.
