I'm sort of stuck at that point where you have to do all the dungeons around level 20, because my toddlers are making it hard to play, and I've found some bugs to watch out for when you play in groups.
First, there is a check box in the duty finder that says, "Join Party in Progress." I imagine most of you DPS players have already found it while you sit around waiting for a tank or a healer. However, because the queues for tanks and healers are nearly instant, especially for healers at low level, most of them aren't checking it, as there is no incentive to do so. This means that if you get halfway through a dungeon and your healer or tank disconnects and doesn't come back you are just screwed. You will likely stand around in the dungeon until the 90 minute timer ends, if you don't just give up and leave.
Second, you are removed from a loot roll if you leave a dungeon. So if you kill the last boss, and you see someone not roll on loot, and also not leave the dungeon, then what they are doing is waiting for everyone else to leave so they get the loot by default. If it's an item you really want, and you are willing to wait out the 300 second timer, be sure to wait, because even if you click need, and no one else does, if you leave the instance before the roll you get nothing.

Oh yay, yet another system compromised by greedy damn loot ninja. I guess do a bug report and post on the official forums or lodestone, too. Maybe they'll get something done about it. Maybe not, though...
Yeah, glad there's a group finder now. FFXIV was pretty group dependent, I guess despite all the changes that hasn't been left by the wayside. At least for dungeons.
THESE are not the hammer.
