First and foremost having to set up a separate account and having to have an "invite" to access the forums which is already behind one account name and password....that is good enough for me to put in my CC information and buy crowns is overkill and discouraging.
Riding speed should be like sky shards in which you can purchase the ability to carry it over from one toon to another with crowns.
I really like the Random Norm Dungeons but I do wish there was a way you could select a few, maybe 5 or so that you really hate doing that would get passed over or maybe a way to deselect the DLC dungeons until you are more capable.
But another problem is, you get some people that try to farm gear by only going to the first boss and then bailing out (which is fine if you are solo or the whole group bails), it leaves the rest of the group behind hanging and waiting for the Q to fill it....some of us haven't been playing long enough to do a lot of the dungeons without a full team, so there should be a 30 min or 1 hour time penalty for exiting a dungeon without completing it unless the entire group bails or someone is voted out.

✭✭✭✭✭The random queue is there to help players looking to run a specific dungeon fill their group. You can use the dungeon finder to pick one particular dungeon or among several. You will not get the daily reward though because that reward is for chancing getting any dungeon.
If players could pick and still get the reward it would become much tougher for players wanting to run specific dungeons to fill their groups.
The penalty is fine as is. Long enough to discourage players from just quitting and queuing again but not so long it feels excessive when you get kicked by game or some other odd thing pops up. As example I am still farming Arx to try and get the Medusa Inferno Staff. When it was the pledge I hopped on a healer and used dungeon finder to pug it. After we were done the group leader queued us for the next pledge without asking. I don't need the keys and didn't need gear from the dungeon so I left group. That gave me a penalty. I ran Arx solo while waiting to be able to queue again but it would have been annoying if the wait was much longer.
I'm not sure people bailing on the first boss are farming gear. Not an efficient way of doing that. Maybe if they are logging onto different characters to run again but even that is time consuming. And a longer queue time wouldn't do much to stop that behavior.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."4 -

✭✭✭You can queue for specific normal dungeons.... Just not for the experience boost random.
Mount account wide access would be great!! 😊 Though, since they do have mount boosts for the impatient in the crown store, I doubt they will. 😐
On the forum thingy, it is probably to weed out the trolls somewhat xD
In ZOS’ defense !!
I think ZoS is very friendly towards new players
•When you make an account you get free crowns
•As you level up you gain free useful items, including a mount, a storage trunk, pets, costumes, etc....
•They have the dailies just for logging in. They give basic things that will most certainly help a newer player.
• Free room to furnish in-game
• Also, the endeavors ( look at those more for the transmutation crystals, gold, and experience when available )

People who bail after 1st boss are not farming gear. They bail because the group doesn't meet their expectations. Alot of tanks only do couple of trash pulls or 1st boss and bail if group dps is low. No one wants to spend an hour(s) in dungeon. Healers also often bail if dps is low or tank is fake. Dps rarely bails because they have the longest queues, but if the group is bad and it's clear after 1st boss that its gonna be too tedious then even they leave.
And regarding penalties, its fine how it's now. Why should I get 1hour penalty for leaving vet dlc dungeon when group dps is 10-15k? (I'm tank), or (I'm dps) and we have fake or bad tank and group refuses to kick him?2 -

I specified the random normal dungeons since that is what I am doing as a noob, so low DPS or not they shouldn't be bailing on normals..... the couple times it has happened when I was in the group we mowed through the first boss they said they were there to just farm the first boss and bailed. The last time it looked like it was a couple DPS's Qing as a tank and another at the healer in the same group to speed up the Q times. I am not doing Vets yet so I wouldn't know about those, yet.0 -

✭You don't get to decide what they should, or should not do.. if a person wants to quit your dungeon, for any reason, it's their business0 -

I doubt weeding out trolls works that way. Happy people would not care if they can't join forums while not so much for other.0
