Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

Question, what is this "in-progress fishing" that ppl are talking about and this measure seems to prevent?

Also, this is what I normally do... I retire to an inn room (so it's really quiet and with no RMT spam) queue up, turn off BGM, and go play Euro Truck Simulator or something. So I hear the notification sound when it pops up. I pause the other game, and alt+tab back.

Or I go read a book in bed leaving the game running, or watch an episode of Code Geass or something.

But then again I'm a healer... I mostly have problems queueing up for Primals, but that's all.

A lot of tanks are too lazy to run full dungeons and too selfish to care about other players so they repeatedly spam the DF and withdraw from any fresh runs until they get an in-progress run that's nearly finished. This is particularly problematic in the Crystal Tower raids due to their length.

Because of the way the popup works the other people waiting for that instance end up unable to do anything for ages because the popup just flashes up on their screen over and over until the tank either gives up or gets what they wanted.

This change in the patch will make it impossible to fish for in-progress dungeons and also prevent trolling.

Given that you also have to do this three times in a single day before it penalises you I don't understand why anyone else is concerned that they'll get punished for going AFK during a long queue.
