Players can have a multitude of reasons for exclusively joining in-progress, including desiring CT loot near the end of that dungeon. Again, the more appropriate solution in this instance is to delay all loot until the very end; Acheron should reward 4 pieces, instead of having each mini-boss reward 1. Most of the reason why people leave early is because they received their weekly loot allotment. Allowing players to join in-progress benefits all sides involved. Some people want the mythology tomes at the end. Regardless of their reasoning, everyone should have the freedom to join a party with the progress they desire.

As it is though, in lieu of an immediate fix, having to sit through withdrawn queues is the price that less-desired jobs will simply have to pay. If you want to be able to pick and choose among duty results, then you should play as a tank.

People need to complain less about the frustrations of long queues and supposed "abuse" of withdrawals, and start playing as tanks (and healers, to a lesser extent).
I am not looking to punish each and every player attempting to join in-queue. I am looking to punish each and every player abusing the in-progress queue as a quick means to gain fast Mythology, or snipe specific bosses in CT for loot. I really don't know how much my definition differs from other people - for all I know I could be the only naive idiot in the world who thinks so, but the in-progress queue is intended for players to fill up missing roles, so that people who are left hanging in dungeons can finish their dungeons without having to start over again. I really doubt the intention of the in-progress queue is for people to snipe bosses, and gain easy rewards.

"To hell with those people stuck in queues I say, I'm not helping them unless they're at the last boss. They're not worth my time otherwise."

Acheron rewarding 4 pieces is really no different. What's stopping me from sniping until I see only Acheron remains? I can skip Bone Dragon, Thanatos, and King Behemoth in this manner, and have even less incentive to queue a full dungeon/more incentive to snipe for Acheron.

You'll also notice that the people who are doing said boss sniping are almost usually tanks. Being a tank does not give you a free admission to being a douche towards 3/7/23 other players. Being a tank does not instantly give me the right to snipe dungeons, at the expense of other players' queue times.
