Please stop the dungeon timer when someone leaves the group.

[Cienna]

Please do not think I am attacking you, I wish they could and I agree it is terrible, but here is the situation.

*There is a set number of dungeon instances available- such as AK, which you are not high enough to enter yet. Think of these instances as tables in a restaurant. You can't enter if there isn't an instance/table free. Even if your party is already full/premade.

*The queues for AK can be 4+ hours after the weekly reset for Tomes. Even for groups premade and ready to go- they wait hours for an instance of AK to be open.

*People already grief groups by afking in instances, or wiping the groups purposely to encourage people to buy runs from their group/LS/FC. Simply google: sabotaging titan runs.

*If you pause timers, these same groups will simply join and have a member leave. If the DF looks automatically for another, and someone joins, they will have another member leave. By doing this they can block an 8 man instance quite awhile since tanks and healers are hard to come by and they can leave and search one at time. This means longer queue times waiting for an instance (as there is a separate queue for filling up the group)

TLDR- Set # of instance & pausing timers= open to griefing by jerks

EDIT- Read this thread about people hitting 50 and realizing that there isn't enough instances available for their group. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-BE-ADDED-ASAP!
