People abusing party in progress option

[Seidaku]

What I would suggest instead is simply to take out the "join in-progress" option and simply dish everyone except first-timers into the in-progress parties first. Only open new dungeons after the in-progress parties are all filled. And also don't display if the one you're joining is in-progress.

This solves two problems: the in-progress gaming problem, and the lack of tanks and healers joining in-progress at lower levels.

I think I explained why this would not work. People fishing for in progress groups dont care how long it takes to get one. They would just join the instance in this case then leave if it is not where they want to be. You are only making things worse this way.

The only real solution is to give people what they want to avoid causing bigger issues. People who are looking to do 1 or 2 runs per day to max out their points could care less about a 15 min abandonment que if they get placed in a party that has started the dungeon.
