    Of course people are going to exploit it that's inenviable. But it would help alot of people out who's progress is on grid lock.

    Back before there was a penalty for withdrawing from Duty Finder I knew someone who abused the withdraw button to the max. They would check "Queue in Progress" and spam the Queue button until they got into something that was nearly over just to get the big tome reward at the end. They also did this to get specific Trials in their Queue. So yeah, having the system in place that's being proposed here will only get abused. I'm also glad they added the withdraw penalty to this game because it made doing certain content impossible to get into at times because so many people would abuse it.

    Recently me and FC mate queued for leveling roulette and since healer ditched us, I had to leave and reque party in progress as healer. Only to end up in another party. Had to run the whole dungeon as their healer left before they begin heh. Bottom line, can we also have some sort of trace where we can reque to the same undersized party at least those formed before queuing to a dungeon.

    Or else have a way of inviting someone specific to the party when you're left short handed on an in-progress run. (That would help both situations like this where you're trying to change jobs and re-join, and also cases where someone asks a friend or FC-mate to come help out after someone else leaves.)

    Checking 'in-progress duty' should at least prioritize in-progress duties instead of randomly tossing you into a new party.

    Also when someone leaves, there shouldn't even be a prompt to recruit new members, it should be an automatic yes. There's pretty much no situation I can think of where saying no is actually a good thing. I've run into people who said no/closed the window by accident and it's not immediately obvious how to bring that window back up.

    There are non-obvious reasons to not start the search immediately. My friends and me queued in 8 man into ravana ex and then 4 of them dropped because we were planning on doing it 4 man. We really wouldn't want anyone extra coming in at that point. Or you just don't want to deal with another random in DF and pull out titan egi and finish the current run 3 man and such.

    But maybe make it more obvious when you initially close it to how to get to that screen again.

    FC-member was earlier stuck at Aery last boss, missing both tank and healer.

    Three FC-members tried to go in as replacements (one at a time), only to see all three of them end up in completely new parties, even though they queued for "in-progress duty". Shouldn't that system try to prioritize those who are already inside, just being bored and waiting for replacements? Currently it's just creating more in-progress duties with missing roles instead of filling them.
