So I have only recently been back on ESO but I remember the dungeon finder working a lot better than it does now. So is something wrong with it that I have just missed people talking about?
Ever since One Tamriel they instituted a 15 minute cooldown, and since they instituted that feature its been one degree of broken or another. I think they are trying to use the code for the base group finder for battlegrounds currently, which it was never meant for and in the process it has broken the basic dungeon finder pretty badly.
I usually log in between 06:00&06:30, DF works ok then, almost instant group start but it seems to degrade after 08:00. In the evening itseems to be totally crocked
Yeah I used it last night. Took me 20 minutes to get one then when I accepted it gave me the "you or someone else in your group has rejected the invite you have been removed from the queue" I just gave up.
logged in @ 06:30 BST. From then until 07:00 successfully completed 3 random dungeons (Darkshade & Spindle x 2) but from 07:00 absolutely bog all, its now 08:20 so something has definitely happened at/from 07:00 [unless everyones logged out ;0)].
Come to think of it, over the past couple of weeks Darkshade and Spindle seemed to have popped up more than anything else.
Oh, and once I accepted the invite I was in the dungeons within 5 seconds or so, no rejections at all
There is enough population (for now). It's confirmed that the more people are queuing, the worse the group finder works. It's nearly impossible to get into dungeons or BG during prime time. 3 hours of waiting and constant hope that the next pop is gonna be a "Forming Group -> Queued" bug and not the one that just kicks you out of the queue because "someone in your group declined"... while you're queuing alone ofc.

While the dungeon finder is buggy/unstable, I'm still able to find groups (after the annoyance of having to select ready quite a few times) on my tank within 5 minutes. For my dps characters, I don't even bother anymore, way too many dps for the amount of tanks and healers queueing.
The main reason I end up playing solo most of the time... grouping tool
Works maybe 20 percent of the time. And it's hard to form groups using zone chat when everybody and their brothers are spamming it with useless junk they are trying to sell haha
