a feature that auto-accepts (Commence)
An auto-accept feature would be a horrible addition. Once you accept the pop, any time you spend AFK is eating into real people time. You should absolutely have to be at the computer to confirm your participation in the duty so people don't have to wait for you.

a feature that ... pauses your place in the queue
People should absolutely take care of business before queuing, be ready to confirm the pop, and take the penalty if they miss or decline the pop. In the current system.

A brb button would inarguably be an improvement to the system.

It wouldn't need to punish someone this much for using it. They could continue to advance up to #2 without significant concerns to fairness.

It doesn't back up the line. It's like being at a fast food place and telling the people in line behind you to go ahead, before you stop to stare at the menu.



The biggest issue here is not whether something like this should be implemented. The real issue is I honestly don't see the devs successfully implementing this in the way described, even if they chose to implement it (they won't). There are so many simple changes they refuse to make that should be simple for a third year computer science major to make that they cite as impossible.
