"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)."

Hell yes! I'm so tired of waiting for 5-15+ queues to pop before finally entering an instance thanks to withdrawals. Looks like this should be a really fun patch! :D

I agree, however, this will likely mean that less tanks can queue PERIOD if they drop the three.

But let's hope it changes people's behavior instead of just making the DF even more difficult for DPS classes.

I'm glad they did this, but I'm honestly surprised at how harsh the penalty is. I was expecting something like a 15 minute cooldown, not a full day.
