    My only issue with this is I feel like it would make queue times a lot longer overall. As it stands, I imagine a fair number of spots open up from people missing the 45s timer...if we had to wait over double that amount of time for a spot to open up I feel like queue times would grow somewhat substantially for everyone.

    But it would also mean that whenever someone really goes afk (for more than such a brief period), everyone else is locked out of whatever else they were doing for a full two minutes before the expiration counts as a withdrawal and the group is disbanded to form a new one. It makes the problem of getting stuck with such withdrawals that much worse than it already is. If people could pause, then nobody would get matched with them during that time, so nobody would get stuck having to wait on the afk player to Commence or Withdraw. They could continue with whatever else they were doing, or get matched with somebody else who isn't afk.


    p.s. I also wrote a description of much the same feature in another thread here.

    I have a better suggestion. How about not banning players from the DF queue when the entire server goes down? I've been banned from DF twice now because tonberry has booted players or crashed. You'd think there'd be some sort of logic to it.

    This bizarrely happened to me yesterday, 4 times, waiting for A Relic Reborn: The Hydra, usually wait up to 90min for a >30min wait with about 5/8 confirmed and then.... I go away for exactly 45 seconds and duty suddenly pops and ummm yeah... oh well at least I won't have to worry about leveling up until next weekend when there is actually people to do the content with....

    I feel like this new rule is a nightmare for those duties that rarely get joined by other players... and the ROG/NIN race is still making the DF in this patch the worst it has been in this game
