From past experience, the DPS slots are the ones that usually hold up the DF....
Right? Knowing how the DPS queues are, when a DPS is the one that holds us up for 30+ seconds and then times out from the duty I have to shake my head. I understand getting bored waiting for it to pop, but there's plenty to do ingame (and out of game, I frequently alt tab to browse the forums and such while I'm in the queue; actually I'm in the queue for story roulette as a BLM currently) that doesn't require you to be away from the game and miss your queue.

You have three strikes. If you do choose to go afk while you're queued, that's the chance you take.

I'm all for passing the time crafting and such, but why would you craft items that could potentially make you lose your queue spot? I avoid 2+ star crafting like the plague when I'm waiting in the queue in the event that the duty pops.
