    Up Commencement Time to 60 Seconds

    45 seconds is hardly even enough time to wrap a craft or to get out of combat to change Jobs.

    With queue's lasting over 2 hours sometimes, it would be unreasonable to suggest we just idle (not get into combat, not craft, etc.).

    60 Seconds seems reasonable, especially given the new withdrawal penalty.

    15 more seconds wouldn't cause people to suffer too badly either, I mean honestly.

    Another idea that I had was that if you are in a different role and the commencement pops up that when you confirm it automatically changes you back to the class you registered with

    A good idea, would be very handy.

    I'd prefer a minute as well. A lot of players queue up and simply go afk due to long waits so they tend to miss it when it does finally appear. Maybe a few extra seconds will help.

    60 seconds wouldn't be too bad. Just realize that the higher they increase it, the longer your queues are going to get. Kind of funny since you're using long queues as one of your reasons for wanting it increased.

    Better solution: those that miss/withdraw from 3 instances are forced to enter captchas into the duty finder for the rest of the day.

    Why is it so hard to just click commence when it pops? I queue as dps, healer, tank and I always click commence, not once ever I had I missed the queue popping since 2.4 went live. And even in the past, I may have missed a queue pop or two in the 6 months prior because I got called to go fix the broken toilet or something and forgot all about the queue. I should have done the nice thing of leaving the queue first, but when an emergency calls, that is priority. So if I get strike I fully deserve it.

    You know, some people don't just sit around and wait for queue.
    They might be in combat on another class or crafting a 1star+ recipe that can take them over 45 seconds to be able to change class and commence.

    Don't forget about the beast strongholds, if you are deep inside Zahar'ak you will have a hard time getting rid of mobs, specially if those fortunetellers are patrolling all narrow paths, on top of that you have to wait around 5 seconds to change class once you leave combat.

    because when you've waited 30 minutes already, you can be caught midcraft or fate or hunt when it does pop.
