Dungeon Finder never finds replacements

This has to finally adressed. When you get into a dungeon, and a group member leaves group for whatever reason (didn't like the random dungeon he got maybe ? whatev) the grouping tool immediately presents an option to find replacement. Here is where the poop hits the fan...

You confirm only to get a note that the dungeon is full, BUT presents the option to find replacements anyhow, so you can spam confirm for like 5 minutes,

When it FINALLY stops being *** and actually triggers a search for a new member, it never finds anyone. NEVER. even DD's which should be instamatched or at least under a minute.

I was waiting for like 30minutes once with friends to see if it finally finds someone, in prime weekend hours.

I have a feeling it has something to do with peoples companions being active. The moment the player mentioned at the start leaves the group, a companion appears from someone and immitates a group member. Thats why the grouping tool says the instance is full, but when after a while it finally understands that it is in fact not a player, it finally lets you queue for a replacement. Except something is still off, because it seems that the companion that appeared STILL COUNTS towards the player limit, thats why it never finds anyone

What follows is, basically everyone have to leave and queue again, if we cant find replacement manually trough guilds or friends. Not even mentioning the 10min penalty we get for doing so even whn everything is a grouping tool's fault

    Honestly... I just ended up in a dungeon with 2 that went offline and never came back... and we couldn't even boot them to replace them...

    I just had 2 different cases of losing a group member at the beginning of the dungeon only for the queue to pop more than halfway through the final boss. First time had a companion iirc but the second time did not until about halfway through. Both pugs said on their end they were in the queue for about 30 minutes, so about the time it took from us queueing and queue popping...

    Today I was in blessed crucible as healer. Group was really high DPS, and killed off the grand melee before Ms Ringmaster (no, I don't recall her actual name) finished her spiel.

    Then she glitched. No "Incineration Beetles" no nothing. Just her standing there. One peep bailed right away. by the time 10 min had gone by everyone else had bailed, and no replacements and no Incineration beetles.

    Gave it up as a bad job.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
