Which is its own can of worms but that's neither here nor there.

In pre-made parties, people already severely reduce the amount of people they can team up with. So what's the difference?!
You misunderstood me, it is those very pre-mades I'm talking about that will be limited. While I'm aware most hardcore raiders already parse, I can't believe they all parse all the time. And it is that group you will be fragmenting because you'll be forcing one or the other to abide by the other's philosophy. That is to say, a non-parsing capable raider can no longer team up with the parsing raider who wouldn't have said anything because the non-parser is good enough for them. Because it's all or nothing now.

Of course DPS will use queues. And there are already options that fragment queues, like the language.
You compare choosing to use a game utility to the language you were born into. Ok. Wow.

The problem with queue is not the lack of people to play it. It's the absurd amount of DPS compared to tanks and healers.
Which is why anything that will make the queues longer is bad, very bad, teribad, because we really don't need to make things worse.

Also, people still "segregate" the queue, instead they do it after it pops.
Being inside a duty and being outside a duty are completely different situations. If you're already inside, people in your fc or linkshells will be a lot more inclined to join in progress, because if you're 'underperforming', that quitter had to have been there for a while to see that, right? Also you'll know if you have bonus or not and can use that to lure people in as well. I strongly disagree with people comparing people dropping queue before and after it popped because the situations are very different. That's part of what we have the roulettes for, and absolutely why we have the 'join in progress' for. I've seen dead parties where it was only the one first timer left get filled within a minute or two and we cleared the content. So as I like to say before, thank you for making my queue pop, enjoy your penalty, I'm running my content.
