Tanks que-ing and withdrawing over and over in DF

[xRitzx]

Ugg I hate the people who join in progress and then leave when they see you are only just past the first boss. There are people I know that leave if the in-progress run they pop into isn't past the 2nd boss in WP. I hope they find a way sooner rather than later to stop this behavior.

LOL you can already see 0/3 1/3 2/3 or however many bosses are beat when you queue in progress. I queue in progress when I'm solo and just wanting some myth/philos. I accept whatever I get but do enjoy when I get 1/3 or 2/3 and get a run done in a shorter amount of time.

Oh I certainly enjoy popping into a run close to the end but I view it as a bonus but I don't bail on a run just because it is going to take me 10 minutes longer.

I have basically the same view. I'm usually glad when I get into a 0/3 group even if it's only like a 2 minute bonus. There was a time I used to try getting fast myth occasionally but I don't do that anymore because others really don't like it. If you don't have the time, you shouldn't be playing anyway is my opinion.

I found your first post funny because those people don't even need to join to find out how many bosses are completed. There's a yellow fraction number that tells you how many bosses are beaten and remaining. So there shouldn't be any problems with people literally joining an instance (like being inside WP with the group and tonberries and things) then leaving because the group isn't far enough in the dungeon for them.

Give me the ability to directly join my friends who had their tank dump/dc on them.

A tank pulled out of the queue on an Ifrit fight last night. I was scratching my head.

Sometimes your just stuck. Missed my que many times because i couldnt change jobs or was mid teleport and zone cant load fast enough to make it. Que times are so long that the second you decide to go afk for a sec it pops and you miss it. Dont know how much trolling going on cause i dont experience it much from a single class to say its just tanks. Any kind of punishment they set up probably gonna affect the wrong people more often then not.

Noone forces you to duty finder, ever. I find premades are usually the way to go.

Parties are great and all. But even premade parties I spent 2 hours trying to get into and/or make a party to farm Garuda HM. t didnt get very far and when I did finally get into DF for a Garuda the WHM d/c'd and the party fell apart. There has got to be SOMETHING they can do to alleviate this for people.

What I don't understand is when a tank (or healer on occasion) joins an in progress instance of WP, doesn't know the party's limits yet, we wipe and then they quit right away. There is a 15min penalty for leaving if I recall, so leaving, waiting it out, and requeing again, then running the dungeon wil almost always end up slower than say another 20 mins in WP due to a lower geared group (or one that doesn't work well together). Even a run that takes another 30-40mins is still statistically faster. This is the same for most other 50 instances.

As a tank I have also noticed that most of the time I join an in progress group at 1/3 or 2/3 it takes longer to complete than if I went fresh. There is often a reason for a tank to leave mid instance (unless they elitist)
