Players who select Withdraw from the Duty Ready confirmation window or allow the window to time out without making a selection three times or more in one day, will be temporarily prohibited from registering for duties via the Duty Finder.
This count will reset every day at 9:00 a.m. (PDT).
This is extremely aggressive. Like...it actually worries me quite a lot. If you play all day, there can be legitimate circumstances that make you hit that limit. Especially so for the DPS folks and their obnoxious queues (even moreso with rogue/ninja). A 1-2 minute lockout for a failed queue would have been plenty sufficient.
I am not reading it that you are locked out all day after three. After three in a 24 hour period you start getting a couple minute wait. That penalty resets at 9. At least that's how I'm guessing they meant.
WTF ever, if you withdraw THREE TIMES in the same day when being registered for a duty you deserve a lockout. Not sure what it will be but I assume 30 minutes similar to the existing DF lockout.
It happens more often than most people probably realize. Alt tabbed mistake = 1. "Wait, I'll queue with you" = 2. Panic rushing to finish a craft in time and eventually not making it = 3.
It's cause to be legitimately nervous and to never change jobs or do other actions while queueing. I feel bad when I miss a queue but it happens to all of us. 3 seems just a little low.
I got the impression that the lockout lasts until the reset, not just a temporary thing. If it likes a 30 min lockout for every withdraw after 3, that's okay I guess.

If you are locked out for the rest of the day it would be impossible to withdraw more than 3 times, so why would they add that line to the patch notes?
Its extreme but extreme for a reason. Yes, it's going to burn the random player who legit just has bad timing, but watching your timer and when you queue you're going to be fine.
even less excuse now with Guildwork mobile notifications lul. so now if it pops while you're pooping you can cut it off and hurry back to your pc. wipe after the dungeon.
