A party member has withdrawn...

[Awimboway]

Either you are all overreacting to a small in-game inconvenience or I have been extremely lucky. I usually get a few withdrawals and then I'm in. Usually its only about 5 minutes or so. No big deal at all.

This is a non-issue being made into the crime of the century. Time to move on.

I would imagine the luck you're having there is probably that you main a Tank, assuming you play that class when Duty Finding for CT as is the case with all queues the Tank queues are ridiculously shorter than everyone else's. It also helps if you go into it with a full party of 8, I've noticed the times I've done that I nearly always get in within the first few pops. However when solo DFing or DFing with a group I have had people literally dropping in and out of the queue for 10 minutes or more. The sound alone is enough to drive you insane. I'm glad SE are making it so if you do get a party in progress it will say 0/1 now. The amount of people fishing for that 3/4 or 2/4 was ridiculous. Personally I would just make it so you can't see if you're joining a party in progress or a new party at all until you click "confirm". The idea of the "Join a party in progress" box is to help out parties who have lost members. Not so you can get an easy piece of gear then leave immediately.

Over 50 Crystal Towers solo-queueing as black mage, and this is my experience as well. Which is why I often posted in those threads (in a rather aggressive manner... sorry)
I couldn't care less about the window popping a few times before entering the instance.

I hope they don't create a bigger problem by trying to fix what isn't broken.

Explain please

It's not only CT where jerk tanks are doing this, even low level stuff like Sastasha is suffering jerk tanks refusing to accept a new instance.

Says .. a TANK.

Oh I how I do love irony, and it doesn't come much better than this.

Queued up to test the new changes, with in progress checked it just says in progress 0/1 now just like the patch notes checked, got a run on King Behemoth. You can still tell if a run is in progress or not but you just don't know what boss you are going to get.

Unfortunatelly fix in 2.15 is not sufficient.
Following changes should be implemented:

1. Remove desc. in progress and status to all dungeons/raids/trials etc which are in progress
- If you are willing to join in progress and you had checked this option you may enter to new run or you may enter to in progress but you should NOT know this until you entered

2. 5 minutes penalty for people who withdrawn when duty popped.
- You are free to withdraw before duty is ready without penalty(when there is something important IRL and you decided to not go to duty after you decided you want to do some duties in game)
- When you are AFK and you missed duty ready screen you will receive 5 minutes penalty. Its okay because you will probably be back to PC when 5 minutes already gone or in 3rd 4th minute so its dont affect you very much
- When you abusing this or making harsh with this you can do only once per 5 minutes.

3. 30 minutes penalty for all leavers in duty not just first one
- Since duty dismissal (vote abandon) is in place there is no reason to not give penalty to all who leave without official end of duty (by vote abandon or duty complete)

4. 30 minutes penalty for kicked player
- Prevention for kick abuse aka "Kick me I want to leave or I will afk"
- Cases are reviewed by GM so if somebody kick someone without valid reason -> 72h ban

5. Change vote abandon / kick according to how much players are left in party.

Light party:
4 players - 3 votes needed
3 players - 2 votes needed
2 players - 1 vote needed
1 player - 1 vote needed (to abandon duty)

Full party:
8 players - 6 votes needed
7 players - 5 votes needed
6 players - 4 votes needed
5 players - 3 votes needed
4 players - 3 votes needed
3 players - 2 votes needed
2 players - 1 vote needed
1 player - 1 vote needed

For vote abandon, if one person has already left, there's no penalty to leaving anyway.
