This allows for pause because change the state from active to inactive, then when the ranks update, the paused person does not have a rank increase. Ties are broken by length of time in queue. In perfect world these time would correlate directly to Rank but it not always the case.

Nope, you are removed from the Matched queue, made inactive and have your rank lowered slightly. At this point, previously explained logic would take over, as you are back in pending queue.

The exception would be if you were in pre-defined party and a member paused. That would cause the pause for all members of the pre-defined party.
Or, have it behave exactly the same as it does now when one member of the pre-made does not accept the duty pop. I have never seen this happen so I do not know the effect.
You're smart, I like you!
