Ok, first off I want to apologize in case this was discussed elsewhere, I DID search for this issue on the forum but couldn't find anything about it even with specific keywords, so I decided to take it on a new thread.

I decided to spiritbond some gear on my tank that I didn't want anymore to turn into materia. I quickly get invited to Tam Tara deepcroft, but within a few seconds I learn that the miqo'te conjurer in our group is a cure bot set up by one of our DPSs. I never adopted 3rd party tools and the last thing I want is to support those who do, I left duty thinking I could queue again and find a more honest and efficient group. But when I am back in Gridania and open up Duty Finder I find all the possible duties locked, and the window saying this:

You are unable to undertake any duties at this time.
Time remaining until Duty Finder is available: 15 m.

I would just like to know when and why was this implemented? While after all I don't mind having to wait for 15 minutes, I feel kind of punished for not accepting to tag along with a botter. Could there be a way to avoid this treatment for special cases such as mine? But really I'm just curious to know what this feature is supposed to help with.
