Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

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.

I said a similar thing about the harshness in another thread. Most people keep overlooking the scenario of withdrawing b/c say a friend or FC member at the last moment asks to jump into the party. In the other thread, most people said I read the patch notes wrong, b/c I commented on a full 24yr content lockout as being harsh. 3 strikes and your locked out content that's been paid and for 24hrs no less? Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't care how annoying ST has been, that's way too crazy. They should just take the withdraw button out.

My boyfriend mentioned this same issue... but once the duty pops, just apologize and say it's too late. If they still want/need to party with you after you're finished, then I would ask if they would like to party together. ^^ Surely they will understand better now that there is a lockout.

That's def an option, but most of the time it's usually always ex roul. After the roul, no one wants to go back in that's already got it done. It's just a way to keep everyone playing together. I understand a lot of people have had their rage moments over waiting 15-30mins PURELY b/c of the withdraw spam, I've done the same. However, I think we're getting a little too ahead of ourselves and forgetting some times where we've had to withdraw more than 3xs due to legitimate reasons.

I truly hope I'm reading this patch note wrong. No matter how trolly those withdraws are, I don't think anything is worth locking people out of content they paid for, for 24hrs. We'll have to see in game though on tues. I feel bad for the first person to test this out lol. I may test it on a throw away alt I have to see the parameters. ^^
