-You're assuming that that is only 1 person spamming the cue box. It could actually be multiple people. Multiple People who if 'forced' to join somehow (either blind cues or by being temporary unable to recue for 5-10 mins etc) would have allowed that party (and probably a couple others as well), to enter the instance, at least, judging from this SS, 7ish minutes faster. (IN a WP run, that's half the dungeon if speeding running for an idea of 'what's my time worth')
-If it IS one person, you and I both know, that was not the intent of 'Join Party in Progress'. But even so, until that ONE person stops holding that group hostage, not only can they not enter...but a willing party member who'd fill that slot ALSO can't join. Again, wasting not only the people cued for that instance's time...but people waiting to cue.

But to be clear, judging from how it 'works' for Tanks esp. to keep spamming until they get what they want, that was NOT 1 person cueing, but rather at least a handful spamming and declining. So yes, safeguards that would ensure that people 'take the cue they get', would make it so less people wait. And would also shorten cue times. Because it took these 'withdrawl ppl' at least 7 minutes to cue...multiply that out by every instance, on every world and you start having lots of people waiting for cues that are basically made longer for the convience of a few.


And again, I cannot stress this enough: 'Join in Progress' isn't a speed/skip button. It's an 'Sure I can help you button'. It was put in game as a way to help out a stranded party, NOT as a means to speed run to the loot/tomes/reward.

I don't agree with 'punishment' systems either...but it really is the only way to get through to the types of players who abuse the 'Join in Progress' feature this way. Afterall, they don't see anyone else's time, progress or loot as valuable, so the only way to get through to them is to make it less enticing to spam the cues until they get what they want. Make it take them LONGER to re-cue than it would take on ave to run the whole instance, and they'll just take what they get
