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

[Billie21]

I just wonder why the game lets you know what you are about to enter (full dungeon or in-progress, and if the later it even tells you what's the state of progress) along with the possibility to withdraw, if they didn't intend to let you choose.

Every time I had people withdrawing after a full party is assembled, it took me less time queueing until next full party is formed, which is why I don't believe it puts you back at the end of the queue.
But, since I never ran any kind of test or whatever measurements are possible to support this theory, I can't say for sure.
If that is not the case, the game should indeed keep your party at the top of the queue whenever some members are withdrawing.

The only problem that I see with this whole topic is what Boo (and some others probably) mentionned: the fact that while the "commence" window pops up repeatedly, you cannot engage in any other activity.

They really need to start banning them. I main a PLD and it sickens me when this crap happens if I'm on another job. It's incredibly rude and needs to be punished.

My suggestion is this: Allow two withdraws from queue. On the third strike, the person withdrawing takes a 30 minute penalty. It then also flags the system that said person has received the withdrawing penalty. Once that person receives 3 flags, they are then banned for a shortish period of time (say 3 days). Then it will progressively get longer.

Keep in mind, I'm talking about withdrawing from the queue, not once you've entered a dungeon (which there's already a penalty for). If you've ever had it happen where your queue pops over and over for short periods, it's a Tank constantly queuing and withdrawing trying to get an in-progress dungeon so they can more quickly get their Myth tokens.

It happened to me a couple of times, not for very long (like 2 minutes). Group formed, then one or several members withdraw.
It also happened to me a couple of times to queue as tank, finding a party, then every time I click on "accept" for some reason (bug?) DF rejects me (exactly as if I had withdrawn instead of accepted).

Therefore am firmly against such a proposal.

Add an "in-progress only" option could be a good idea though.
And again, if it's not already the case, a party formed that has members withdrawing, should be kept at the top of the queue, not put back at the end.
Personnally, I wouldn't be opposed to a "blind queueing" either, since it's pretty much how I'm already using the DF. Though I can't speak for the rest of the players.
