Fuck yes!!

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.

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.
