If the queue is long (ie. in excess of 30m) and I need to walk away from my desk for a minute, I turn up the volume so I can hear it if it pops. I very much welcome this change since I for one hate being trolled by players who "fish"
    To prevent people from fishing for in progress, 3 times per hour would have been enough of a restriction, 3 times per day seems harsh, especially considering that the FFXIV icon doesn't even flash in the task bar if you're alt tabbed and, for example, reading the forum to pass some queue-waiting-time. If they implement something to actually notify me when a queue is finally found if I've the game minimized, I'll welcome this change with open arms.

    You don't need it to flash on a tab. Go into your sound settings in FFXIV and change it so that Sound plays while minimized. I'm almost always browsing the web while Queue'd. I just do this, and I never miss the queue.

    If they give us an option to give the queue-sound a different volume than the rest of the game, that would suffice. Having the entirety of the background sound enabled, hearing every goldspam whisper and so on, isn't really ideal.

    The sound setting in this game has separate sliders. You can tune down type of sound that you don't need, like ambient sound in your case.

    Just go to System Configuration then Sound menu. Then tune the slider to your liking.

    I knew about this, but sadly goldspam (whispers) counts as System Sounds, which is the same category the queue signal is in.

    Actually, it is. I haven't hopped on the smartphone train yet.

    System Settings > Sounds > Mute everything but system sounds and raise it to max. Problem solved. I do it all the time while I watch Netflix.

    Edit: I also do it for Crafting Macros. Once you hear the item dropped in your bag (system sound) it means the craft is complete, you hear the crafting window open again, Press X twice (controller) wait for the next system sound, then hit your macro (controller). You can craft for HOURS AND HOURS and never have to open the game window. It's pretty neat when I'm walking around the house or watching Netflix or doing other things and can just listen for that sound.

    Yup you all think this is just awesome right? right? Bad news folks you better get use to players now joining and going afk and you have to vote kick them or better yet they just go offline guess what vote kick time. What SE should have done is actually made the join in progress actually bring you to a duty thats in progress not a new duty.

    I'm not a fan of the change in the way they are implementing it. I'd say 3 times in a short period maybe..... and here's me reasoning for why this is a BAD thing

    I hit queue... OH @#$@#%~ I clicked the wrong thing to queue for... withdraw

    STRIKE ONE!

    queue time says 12 minutes... ok.. I'm gonna go tot he bathroom or go get a drink or snack... come back 5 minutes later to see you missed your queue.

    STRIKE TWO!

    no all it takes is for something like that or some other reason and you are now done playing the game for 24 hours... REALLY BAD REALLY, REALLY BAD


    I know there's a problem with the queue's, but 3 times a day? there have been times where I've queued up and noticed I clicked the wrong dungeon. or I had "join in progress" selected or not selected the way I wanted so I immediately would hit withdraw. maybe 3 times in a 3 hour window or something? maybe 5 times in a day.

    I disagree, these players fishing for runs in progress want fast runs, waiting 20 minutes for 4 attempts to get a run in progress is the opposite of that, I firmly believe this will stop these in-progress fishers.
