Que for in progress (save a friend or LSmate)

[Mycow8me]

Would it be possible to create a system for aiding a friend or LSmate who is waiting for the party to refill in progress.

Sometimes its hard to aid when qued for in progress without some kind of invite system. It's hit or miss really, today I tried to help a LSmate who needed a tank and was on last boss in a dungeon (tank lost connection). Tried three times and then ended up with the 30minute penalty.

Why isn't this a thing yet? I don't want to que for others, I just wanted to quickly aid a bro and now im penalized for trying to help someone.

Instead of queuing the entire roulette, just queue the single dungeon they are doing. That is, if you really want to help your friend instead of, "Yeah I'll help you if I can also get my roulette bonus for doing 3 minutes of dungeon."

I did que for the single dungeon, and even made sure they had it set to searching for members. Was still unable to join. Either dungeon/DF was bugged or there is another problem that no one is aware of.

Thanks for assuming I was trying to abuse a situation though, I'm not that kind of person. I did mention an "invite" styled system, that would kind of eliminate the possibility of using a roulette anyway...

EDIT:
Actually I recall them saying something about priorities for queing for DF. This may have played a role in not being able to join it but I don't know.

How did you try 3 times before getting the 30 minute penalty then, or was this 3 separate instances?

Because the queue popped with the normal 'fresh duty' sign instead of the 'in-progress' sign (it's been a while, so it might have changed, but last time I saw it, there was a 2/3 note if it was an in-prog run) and he said 'no, don't want that ;_;"? Or ended up in other in-prog runs the first times and could leave without penalty because the party wasn't full? I don't know =)

My LSmate was in amdapor keep hard and on last boss. I tried once to join by selecting that only and made sure to check the box for que in progress. It failed and was trying to start a whole new dungeon. This happened twice. On the last try, I made sure everything was correct (searching for members, they still needed only a tank, and my DF box was still correct).

I was still unable to join their in progress dungeon.

This feature doesn't exist because it would be abused.

* Start roulette dungeon with a partial premade.
* At last boss, votekick the people who aren't part of your premade.
* Invite your friends to fight the last boss and get roulette credit.

Well, it shouldn't count as a roulette in the first place. Dungeon completion? Yes, totally. In case of Ex primals/raids, tank achievement? Yes. Roulette? No. Because such an invite system wouldn't be a roulette, would it? Same as queueing for a single dungeon in-prog in an attempt to get into your friend's roulette wouldn't give you the roulette credit even if you succeeded.

Yes, there'd be the possibility for abuse, as with any feature (*cough* like 'votekick' in general? I don't see this being used often as an excuse to remove the feature entirely). But I don't think that'd happen nearly as many times as, "Don't worry about that healer who dropped out/disconnected4ever/was abusive and got kicked; I've got a good one from my FC coming i....oh, never mind. He ended up in another party -_- I guess we'll wait," happens.

This wouldn't matter now, most roulettes can be made with parties now.

Your friends would get the short end of the stick. Sure, they get the daily roulette bonus, but they never got the full bonus, since they missed the first two bosses that gives Eso.
