Up Commencement Time to 60 Seconds

[Sakuraluna]

I completely agree. I missed a queue yesterday for being in a cs. DPS wait times is the real problem here, it takes so long that it makes no sense not to find something else to do to pass the time. It's not like DPS are intentionally trying to troll the df. Many of us just aren't gonna stand in Mor Dhona for hours on end doing nothing just because we're queued for something. I'm willing to assume that most of the people arguing in favor of these lockout penalties aren't actually doing much queuing as dps outside of premades.

I would be happy if clicking "commence" just put your character back in the same state it was in when you entered the queue and overrides things like open transaction windows, market boards, cuscenes. etc. I've missed a queue before because I was frantically trying to exit out of my retainer, enter my character window, and change my job back. If I'm only on a controller, this is a real pain, one miss-click can really cost you precious seconds.

^ I love this idea. IMO that would have helped the situation a lot more than penalizing people for queuing as dps then actually playing the game while they wait for an instance to pop.

Another solution is to see how long the actual queue is in front of you. Seeing that there are 100 dps sitting there before you changes things from seeing that you are number 5 in line.

This would actually help a lot too, at least being able to estimate how much wait time I have before starting something else.
