LFG groups and people just leaving instantly...

coolmodi · March 2016

Seriously, I wait 25min, get into a group, 2 people leave after a few seconds, the other person sees that and then decides to leave too -> another 25min waiting time ahead. I really thought that the new finder would solve that problem, it doesn't, it even feels like it's worse.

1. You should get requeued in the 1st position if that happens, having to start a NEW queue is just rediculous.
2. People who leave should get locked out of the LFG tool for 30min, and much longer if they do it frequently.
3. There should be a ready check before group is formed.

I'm really done now with even trying to do dungeons, the above happens more often that not, I just can't do 2-3 queues (so over 1hour) just to get into 1 single dungeon all the time.

Yeah that's a bit of a people problem... I do think a cooldown on queuing would really help though.

Or at least a ready check (before the group is formed, like in other games), that would also help a lot. Getting force-ported into the dungeon without a full group is just stupid.

People who just don't like the dungeon that came up (or for whatever reason they leave all the time) can just decline without consequences for themself or the group.

I had a situation yesterday or the day before when I was checking out the random dungeon option on a character to try to figure out how long it takes for you to get back to the full reward. I alt-tabbed go to my browser, and I guess somewhere in the alt-tabbing I accidentally joined the queue

When I alt-tabbed back to the game I had just a couple of seconds left before it was going to auto-teleport me to the dungeon. I absolutely wasn't ready to run a dungeon (I flat out didn't have time), so I panicked and left the group. I felt pretty bad about it actually. I really didn't mean to do that

That's why there really should be a ready check BEFORE the group is formed, if people decline it won't affect the others, they'll just see another popup a moment later.

I really don't get why they haven't done that, I honestly expected to see that, but they haven't done anything to improve the actual grouping process. It's still absolutely stupid and open to frustration.

Not having that AND removing you from the queue if all others leave is just absolutely stupid.

One problem I've run into is for people who say they were looking for a different group/instance.

I agree with the lock out if you purposely drop the group.

Finding a group with the group finder, even a random dungeon is a pain.

I've been fortunately though that I've gotten the vet pledge as a random dungeon a few days in a row.

The full reward timer is on the same timer as Enlightenment ~ 9 PM EST.

Thanks!

I actually just had a case where I queued for a random dungeon, got put into a group, teleported into the dungeon, and then when I got there we had lost 2 members of the group. Luckily, I was the tank and the other guy who was left was the healer, so I just started the search again and in about 30 seconds or so had 2 new DPS in the groups...
