A way to queue into dungeons without other players

Hello,
for context: I'm playing with two of my friends in ESO who just started out. I'd like to do random dungeons peacefully and at our own pace without having a 4rd player skip half the map etc. etc. Is there a way to do that? I know I can go into specific dungeons and simply have a companion as the fourth slot, but I don't want to force them to omit the bonuses RND's give. Any ideas or should I just beat it?

    Afaik, no way. Randoms are about enduring a pick of a dungeon AND a pick of teammates.

    You can create alt accounts and queue with them just to kick them afterwards. It's not against TOS if you're willing to waste money and pay for the same game twice.

    You can always just kick the 4th player and then proceed with your friends.

    Yeah, the game allows a person to queue, wait 10 minutes and be kicked by 3 friends because it doesn't consider people queueing as a group to be a single entity for voting. It believes that 'so what if they queued together, there's no way they could abuse it!'

    Why queue at all? You can just go to the dungeon

    Had some guys kick me on psn a while back so they could add a talking pet. Thing is on psn the invite comes through the console as well as in game so I just rejoined again using that console invite since it doesn't go away. They were quite freaked out when I came back.

    If you just wanna grind companion xp one or two man normal Dragonstar or the Blackrose prison. Dragonstar is pretty easy and you get like 3x as much companion and player xp as a dungeon. I think it took me like 8 runs to max out Isobel. Was fun too- her tanking saved my ass in a lot of the boss fights. Probably the only time I've really found companions useful.

    Haven't done Blackrose, involves wiping during the second level over and over. Supposed to pay even better then Dragonstar but it sounded boring.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding

    Well, they basically want to be able to do that, but also retain the bonuses that are granted by queuing for a Random.

    If they just walk in, then they wouldn't get those bonuses for completing the dungeon.

      The party leader gets the option whether to look for a replacement or not, in this case they'd just choose no. It's a real crummy thing to do to someone though, especially if it was a dps that you kick. At least a tank would be marginally better, but still... shame.

      Aight, so what you guys are saying is I can simply walk into a dungeon with the other guys and it will count the rewards? Also yes I did consider kicking the fourth random guy but the immeasurable guilt would kill me

      As a professional skip to last boss RND runner during double XP events, I have asked for the same thing in the past. Helpful forum posters have informed me that the RND system is for helping others and I don't deserve rewards for refusing to carry 3 others.

      Walking / porting directly to dungeon work but not for the rnd reward.

      Now you could ask some in guild to help you get inn and then leave.
      Some people has used this with an low level alt to only get fast dungeons as an way to farm transmute and CP.
      Grinding just make you go in circles.
      Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

      We obviously need the entrance to Random dungeon to walk in.
