Please give priority to parties who need an In Progress replacement

[Catwho]

Ever since SE started fiddling with the way Duty Finder sorts people, it's taken us a lot longer to find replacement party members when someone leaves unexpectedly.

On the other end of it, we've tried to pull in a replacement from a FC or LS when a tank or healer abandoned us, and they've got to a brand new party instead of our In Progress. Even if we've been waiting as long as 30 minutes. (We actually gave up on an Ex run after that happened.)

Can you please re-adjust the In Progress on Duty Finder to automatically go to an In Progress dungeon, if that party has been waiting for at least 5 minutes?

(On a semi-related note, there is a bug regarding Midas in which you can't even get a replacement. I noticed there is an Accepted bug report for that, and I wanted to add in that it hit me last night when I was party leader. The rest of the party thought I was stupid when I said there wasn't the option to look for replacement members. Please fix this as soon as possible!)

If I'm not mistaken, a while ago they implemented a change where players are unable to join a dungeon in progress if it had been going for more than 30 minutes or like 2 bosses. I can't recall which patch this was, but I assure you, under normal circumstances, in progress receives priority for queued players.

They really need to address this. It has been "broken" for a long time. I'm DPS and can easily swap to tank or healer knowing the DPS spot will re-fill fast? I used to, damn near 100% re-join the group. Now? Damn near never.

Did some test with a buddy. I sat waiting in queue, while his group still in dungeon waiting for replacement. Not exactly as better system. It used to work.
