    When I'm queuing as a dps I usually mark it for join in progress which helps a little but can kinda stink if they're halfway through already. I also go fate farming and/or go after my daily hunts while I'm waiting. Sometimes I'll get the duty to pop real quickly and other times it goes way beyond the estimate. It helps an extreme amount if you can find a tank to queue with you. Sometimes its the time of day or day of the week that plays a factor too. Might be a lot of people off or doing their static runs. Don't give up though.

    No, NO. Never do this. Most of the "in progress" parties I join are the ones with the tank already left, and there's only 1 or 2 people left inside finding new members. So now you're stuck on some dungeon with no tank, and if you leave and re-queue you restart your long DPS queue timer! Now, I'm sure some of you will ask, "Why not just simply wait for a tank to queue in-progress?" Because in those instances, other people, especially the healer, will just quit and re-queue, leaving only me or 2 dps waiting for a tank AND a healer. This is why I no longer queue "in progress" as DPS for low-level roulette.

    This is another change I'd like to see. An in-progress queue should only pop when it can refill the ENTIRE PARTY.
