    Dutyfinder still unsolved

    Nothing like waiting 5 to 30 minutes just for a party already in progress to see 1 person there or even none. Party in progress, more like a wasted wait time, also if you join a freshly started party its always 1 try or 2 then the abandon duty vote comes up. I say make time limit to dungeon shorter like only 30 minutes instead of like 90 minutes and get rid of the vote altogether. its really wouldn't be needed, and then if you still were to quit you would get timed out, since there is party in progress no one should need to quit in 30 minute time period.

    People say use partyfinder or start my own party but when done usually ends up with everyone quitting or 6-7 static members looking for the 8th like me to carry them and monopolizing partyfinder by kicking out whoever they want.

    Come back when you have to wait upwards of an hour or more because of tanks fishing for insta-queues.

    Okay, I'm starting to wonder if I have some kind of Blessing of Duty Finder's light as extra invisible bonus in my dear neko-chan then...

    I mean, I rarely, VERY RARELY have to wait more than 20 minutes with all my classes, DPS (And they are 6) included. That said, 90% of my duty finder times don't even excess 10 minutes, only in low level roulette the thing is crazy, and well, the first weeks of 2.4 it was pure madness, esentially in low level....

    But so far it is steady again. (Chaos data center)

    Sorry to ask but you wouldn't be the first (even happened to me as a new player, that's a whole other story I can't wait to tell one day)- are your party chat settings properly enabled? Since I didn't hear mention of communication within the party if it happened prior to the vote abandon. In the first dungeons I occasionally encounter players where their Party chat setting is off and they had no way to know from just running 2 fast guildhests and not being in a party for an extended run. For me vote abandon is only in a hopeless situation, and that's probably the same for most others (some ppl are jerks but not most people)- and the only situation I see where teams might give up and do this is if something goes wrong, they try to discuss/advise/etc and realize it isn't coming across.

    When I get something in Say mode in a lower ranked Dungeon that's often the case. Of course this might not pertain to your situation, I just don't know enough of the specifics to say.

    All sarcasm aside, vote abandon appears even if we are doing good in 1 to 2 tries. I do more waiting for party to start and voting then actual playing.
