Tanks Who Constantly Queue and Then Withdraw Trying to Get in Progress Instances

[Synapse]

Im gonna goo crazy if people keep repeating "Im looking for a progress only dungeon" THERE IS NO SUCH THING! that option is for ALSO... as in "im ALSO interested in joining mid parties", That option is not there so you abuse the process.

Hmm i need a analogy.

You go to a shop to buy something, the clerk tells you "if you buy A, you get B free", but you act like you gonna buy A but you just want the free B(get it freebee hahaha..ok :/), then you stay there and argue with the clerk of how you just want B, while holding up the entire line.

There is a really freaking easy solution to this - just remove the ability to see how many bosses are down when you join a group in progress. Viola.

it's mostly dps who get bored of queue and go afk forgetting it.

Actually taking CT as example, getting 24/24 is much harder than 6/6, but i always see 24/24 and like 5/6.

So DPS are 4x more excited to join and are alert.

Im not supporting DPS or anything, i do play all classes. Tank imo is an entitled class.

Heck just 35 sec penalty is long enough to unclog the mess created by few spammers. Who is going to miss 35 sec seriously? (Rhetoric question btw)

lol, 26 pages of responses to a problem that Blizzard solved with WoW YEARS ago. What a joke.

Now that I think about this, I think I've figured out their likely solution to this. A cap. They'll likely cap the number of times you can queue with Join In Progress per week. Once you've hit the cap, you'll be forced to queue without it if you want to run an instance.

except they do... the whole point of looking for inprogress is to save time... a tank waiting 20seconds then dropping isnt saving time. and defeats teh whole purpose of doing an inprogress run.

Except that it obviously isn't. The purpose of having the in progress tic box is for those players who are not only looking to do a full run but who are also willing to help out a group in trouble. You would be right if the tic box only sent you to an in progress run.

But in my view there is a more fundamental issue. So the poster defending repeated withdraws because he only needs loot boxes 3 and 4 and therefore only wants to run the last half of the dungeon is like defending tanks who only need loot boxes 1 or 2 so drop right after.

I mean, same thing, right? He is opening up a slot after all for a tank only looking for 3 or 4. Sure it might inconvenience others committed to the whole run, but who's to say they wouldn't still be waiting anyway if the first-half tank hadn't been there. I know, maybe we should have a first-half-of-the-run only tic box...

I think we can pretty much conclude that while bans are excessive, this use of the in progress option is impolite and not being used as intended, despite the way it was designed, and SE should do something to fix it, even if those that use it in this manner don't like it.

This. That's why you cant just select a dungeon and pick which bosses you want to fight. Some of these guys actually think that dungeon runs should be handed to them on a silver platter.
