Duty Finder Queue DroppersFollow

Not to mention...people (and even yoshida) says it's to fish for 'in progress'..? Well the thing is: I'm not choosing "Join in Progress", it's a fresh queue. Join in progress doesn't slap you into a fresh queue unless the dungeon queue that you were in lost 1-2 people the second it started but even then the queue already went through.

I want to believe it's not people trolling, but I know better. It won't stop until people get punished for it, that's as plain and simple as it can get. Anyone that says it's not trolling must assume people are waiting for the countdown to finish each time then withdraw.

No...it's more like:

Queue is Ready! Yaaaa-
Tank withdraws
Queue is Ready! Yaa-
Tank withdraws
Queue is Ready! Ya-
Tank withdraws
Queue is Ready! ......
Tank withdraws

This happens the VERY second queue pops up, not 1 second remaining, not 10 seconds remaining not 30 seconds remaining, the second the Queue is ready dialog pops up, that is trolling.

Honeslty the best option would be to put a 1 - 5 minute timer on fishing. It wouldnt affect dd/healers at all, and would stop the spam from troll tanks. Just my 2 cents

How does more people leveling tanks fix the issue with d-bag tanks queue droping?

Sure the dd get to level a tank, and enjoy insta queues, but that would just increase the number of potential d-bags queue dropping...so in fact your solution isn't a solution, but a furtherance of the issue.

I dont understand your reply/ why it was uprated. Maybe sarcasm is being lost with the internet...

Mostly because i dont think you would ever even notice it.

200+ dd in queue waiting on party.
dbag 1 drops when queue pops up, goes to position 200 in list
dd 2 accepts queue, every thing is smiles and unicorn farts
dbag dd waits 30 more mins to insta drop queue of party not on stage 3/4
dbag dd waits another 30 minutes etc etc

If the number of tanks is ever = 1/2 the number of DD (ratio for DF), than yes, but that is still SOOOOO far away. DD out number tanks probably 15:1, so unless over half of all DD suddenly roll tanks it really wont change the fact that tanks insta queue.

In theory you are correct and i wont argue that, but in the real world, people play dd for ZOMG BIG NUMBERS/top of parse envy, and the idea of being a relic geared tank who does the same DD as a i55 geared dd is enough that they wont even consider playing a tank.

I understand all of that. I was simply answering your question in post #31 of this thread. We all know that DD will play for leet parses and to make up for their erectile dysfunction. But if they did go play tanks in droves, this is what should happen.

It doesn't. Not anymore than adding a 1-5 minute queue timer would. All that does is make tanks afk for 1-5 minutes between attempts OR makes them stop queuing up altogether. If you want people to stop , the penalty has to be at least as stiff as the amount of time it saves. If I'm a tank fishing for an instance that's already going, 1-5 minutes isn't going to stop me if I save half an hour once I do get an instance.

If you want to create a solution, you should at least understand the problem first. A small lockout on re-queue only solves the issue of your queue pop spamming you. If you enacted this timer you'd have the same problem, except now instead of getting spammed by tanks dropping queue; you space it out to every 1-5 minutes.

Heh... I guess I can't complain anymore.. I've never experienced that, but would get upset when members drop after waiting a whopping 10+ seconds. Instant play or no play! It was never a big deal, because there would be enough people to cover down. However, what is being explained here is much worse.
