I wouldn't be surprised if nothing was changed.

Could just be luck of the draw, but since the patch my queues are horrendous on blm. Almost not even a point on there now, might as well just queue as whm. So it doesn't seem they did anything good...
There are some theories about the DF. I don't understand why they don't just tell us how it works? Would it be so hard to say once you get matched into a group in stops looking for inprogress. It prioritizes Totorak, Stone Vigil, and Ifrit over all other instances. I have actually had a roulette with all of us in roulette get an ifrit and all of us being over 45 and achievements that say they have all pre 50 stuff unlocked.
One problem I have with the Duty Finder is when the Duty Finder has assembled a party and is waiting for everyone to hit the confirmation button. Someone withdraws, and it begins looking for a replacement. The problem is this: half the time I immediately get prompted again for a new confirmation, but half the time I get put back in the queue in a party with no one else. That should *never* happen. I've waited in the queue, my turn came up, someone (not me) withdrew, so the Duty Finder should be doing what it claims to be doing: finding a replacement. Not trying to form a brand new party with me as the sole founding member.
Too many times that happens.
As of now, the changes i've noticed so far would be that when i was queuing for trial roulette, i can't seem to join in progress to the new trial while someone just joined in progress (alone in the instance) to step of faith from my LS.. It could also be that there are 7 others players at that time got queue pop and waiting for the timer to run out..
While the trial that popped for me was titan hm with 4 newly dps to the fight who died all the time..
The join in progress works: we got half party and with time all positions filled one by one.
By "adjusted" it seems to mean "broken."
Post-patch I queue as a BLM for five different dungeons/trials. It says "average wait time under 5 minutes." Eventually this pops back and forth to 6 minutes, then 16 minutes, then 5 minutes....end result, I finally get into a group in 35 minutes.
Today, same thing, "average wait time under five minutes." 30 minutes later, I just give up.
I understand that these are approximations and not a guaranteed time to get in, but I'm not the only one in my FC having HUGE disparities between what it says and reality (and that includes the tanks and healers). Before this patch the waits were never this wonky.
Whatever they did to the algorithm in the last patch was a major fail. Considering that a ton of the endgame progression depends on getting groups in DF, this is an issue which makes me contemplate ending my sub. If I have 3 hours to play, I'd rather not have 30 total minutes of playtime and 2.5 hours of waiting in DF.
If you keep an eye on the DF window while it's assembling a party, it seems to be even more trolltastic than ever before.
0 tank 0 healer
0 tank 1 healer
0 tank 2 healer
1 tank 2 healer
...
2 tank 0 healer
Plus it seems to keep getting "stuck", I'm constantly getting to the point where it's missing either tanks or healers and gone way over the average queue time, but if I drop out and re-queue I seem to get a full group much faster than just waiting it out.
