    Curiosity strikes me: Do you use the 'Join Party in Progress' option in the DF?

    Hello everyone!

    Short explanation
    I'm here to basically ask around if you the players use the... well, obviously the thing is in the title of this thread. Anyways, if you would, could you answer with Yes or No at the start of your post and then please tell me your reasons why you do or do not use the option.

    Now for the long part.
    While I haven't been actively playing for very long (8-9 months or so), I've noticed that sometimes you get into a duty that just 'dies' - as in, people leave and you cannot get replacements at all and simply have to abandon it then requeue.
    As a tank or healer, requeueing isn't too much of an issue most of the time. For DPS, however, it can be rather painful. If you're trying to simply get the duty finished for quests or for the sake of getting that sweet role bonus, you kind of want to complete it.
    While I do understand that many people who've played a while do have a tank, healer, and DPS role available, I also get that not everyone does - especially new players who might not have a tank or healer role leveled.
    So, I'm wondering why some people do use it or why some people feel no reason to use it.

    Yes.

    If I queue into a duty that’s almost finished, then I get a full reward for it, even though I only complete some of the duty. Good reward-to-time ratio.

    Yeah. I've found the reason these slots open up are usually because someone didn't like the dungeon they got and figured the 30 minute penalty was worth it or because the party wasn't uber elite and their entitled self couldn't be bothered associating with them another moment. Either way I get to queue, they get a full party again, and the relief experienced usually lends itself to a pleasant chat.

    Yes, easy rewards for near completed duties.
    Pint I’m quick to leave a failing party that was the original reason others lost.

    It really comes down to if it’s a dungeon or trial.

    Nah. I used to, but i've since found that there usually is a reason the party is down a member.

    Yes - I like being able to step in and help people where they need it. Getting an easy duty is nice, but so is being the person that the others have been waiting for.

    Sometimes there's someone dreadful in the party, but at least as often it's the dreadful one who was kicked or didn't have patience and left.

    Yup. Just had a A12 fight with four new people. It was a healer and 3 DPS. They wiped once and everyone bailed. The party refilled relatively quickly and we killed it no problem. From my experience they leavers were looking for a carry and didn't get it.

    Also I've been on the receiving end and waiting on a healer that never shows up, so I always make sure I have to have that box checked if I'm on my SCH. And even if it is the tanks fault, I'm fairly confident in my healing to get us through roulette.

    No.

    Theres a reason the party has an opening. That reason might have left, but i have no way of knowing that.

    Role bonus requires you to finish. But if youre just trying to clear a quest or unlock you can always skip the DF entirely. Put up a PartyFinder group for the run you want(mention having bonus if its your first clear). More likely to get people who want to finish/help you with the run.
