Ok we know Warrior tank changes are coming in a later patch and that the current issue with a massive amount of players not being supported by Lancers with the current LFD tool is a glaring issue. 2 hour+ queues anyone? I thought I would just quickly address this before moving onto the point at hand so people understand that the LFD queue when they release the Warrior changes will likely tone right down.

Ok, so the issue is this that I am getting sick and tired of seeing. You wait in a queue, pop queue goes off, you join the group, get kicked from the group and they replace you with a friend or guildie who hasn't even been in the queue to begin with AND they likely had a instant pop anyways, because that group was too damn lazy to run down, buy the fricken scroll to teleport to the entrance or trying to cheat the lock out system by 30 mins.

This needs to end, right now. There needs to be a 15 min lock on the group so people can't rage quit OR kick people from the group the moment they enter.

This is seriously unfair to people who legitimately sit patiently in the queue, only to be shafted and have to enter the queue all over again from the bottom.

If people can't respect each other as human beings and as players, then this needs to be implemented, now.

I've also seen advertisements in LFG chat for parties forming groups of four with the intention of joining the instance queue and kicking the fifth person to bypass dungeon locks. While this hasn't happened to me, I can see how it's a problem waiting in the queue only to get kicked by a group of pricks looking to farm dungeons without waiting on the lock-out timer.

I just got kicked from a cross-server guild run for no particular reason. How do I prevent this from happening again? Is there a way to ensure this doesn't happen to me again other than making sure we stay in combat at least every 2 minutes so they cannot kick?

bump.

Not allowing this to get buried and continue.

I don't think you can even invite someone specific into a dungeon finder group, you can only open the queue back up to auto replace the missing member. Can anyone confirm this...? Lol

I don't really use dungeon finder, but when I do use it, I always queue with 1 to 2 friends. I'm a healer, and he's a tank, so I guess this is why I never experience this problem.

Also, do people really wait for 2 hours? The most I have ever spent waiting was 1 second. Literally, it's been 100% instant for me.

Its instant because you always queue with a tank. Lol

So when the fourth and fifth person hit Enter Now and then AFK, I'm forced to three-man the instance for fifteen minutes?

Same thing for me, I only go in with same server people but if I ever use LFD I'm going to have control or it's going to get ugly. If Dps want to kick a good Healer and Tank for a crappy one they won't get that chance.
I also like having party lead or leader with my Tank so nobody can change the loot settings and ninja everything.

Sorry but no cigar.

I'd rather wait 15 mins, then 2+ hours.
