    Use ready check. People who spam the instance while people aren't accepting is terribly annoying. Some people in my static would do that if they had leader for coil instead of just ready checking and asking which would just lead to the first person who didnt click OK clicking OK then someone else not clicking ok because they got up thinking the first person was afk.

    Communicate.

    So true whenever I have my Free Company or friends help me out on duties (Guildhests, Dungeons, and Trials) I always ask for Readiness from the group even before this system.

    I'm not sure why people don't understand that an "In Progress Only" checkbox will just make queues WORSE. Anyone actually FOR this checkbox I'm almost positive is a healer or tank main who actively "In Progress" fishes...the only one a checkbox like this benefits IS the "In Progress" fishers. Every DPS who queues for a new instance gets much longer queues thanks to the tanks and healers opting to check "In Progress" for quick tomes. Even if only 10% of tanks/healers opted for that checkbox it would have a pretty hefty effect on queue times.

    Summed it up perfectly, most dps would never dream of trying to queue strictly for an in progress only, since queue times are bad enough for them as it is. Only benefit this would have would be for those who use to duty fish, anyone who says otherwise is just diluting themselves.

    Not that complicated of a system: Ready Check -> Passed? No, Repeat, Yes -> Queue for DF

    I queue up as "in-progress" on tank or healer because I want to be the hero who rescues an abandoned group, not because it'll be a faster way to get tomes (although that aspect can be nice.) It's not fair to the 3 people stranded in a dungeon to force them to have to exit, if there's no way for them to be assigned a replacement.

    I'm not saying remove the "In Progress" box. I"m saying DO NOT add an "In Progress ONLY" checkbox.

    This guy. Calls people noobs, yet can't string a simple sentence together and hasn't even cleared first coil.
    Bit of pot calling the kettle black right there.

    I think the 3 times before lockout is pretty well thought out. It leaves room for some mistakes but still makes one think bit ahead of time before queueing.

    I never had actual problem or annoyances with DF system before the patch, but as I see many other has had issues with it so this lockout system is very welcome change.

    And... even if you happen to fail the 3 times, it's only 30min ordinary penalty. I was prepared for something like instant ban until daily reset.
