Random TFOs on cooldown

Hello Cryptic. Could you please put the random TFOs on a cooldown after one does one?!
First off, I find myself doing Azure Nebula 80% of the time. Thats bad enough as is because boring but if I join another random TFO and get put in that same mission again.. thats just horrible.
Please add a 20 minute cooldown or something so we dont get put in the same missions over n over. Id rather wait for a different one than this. Its frustrating.

The RTFO system was meant to fill in TFOs that other people queued for but would not fill without help. Since the personal endeavor system came online that tends to be whatever a lot of people have the endeavors for, and since the endeavor scheduling is not truly random it tends to happen in clumps and the biggest clump lately is probably Azure.
If it already has a cooldown .. It's really short.
This will keep happening to you on weekends when the universal endeavor is a TFO, since people will do the universal endeavor all 3 days.
"Random" really means "you will get something you didn't choose, to help other people who want to pick some specific TFO."
The bright side is that you get extra rewards for helping them, and you benefit from the system yourself when you need a specific TFO for a personal endeavor or to get specific marks or elite marks.
There are so very few playing this part of STO left that any hope for any sort of randomization the RTFO system intended cannot function anymore.
If I sign up for Azure right here right now anybody who reads this has a 100% chance to land in it via rtfo because there is no one else slecting any other map at the same time.
Considering how long rtfo queues take to start it is more than obvious that there are less than 4 other players in game at any second of time willing to play (ANYTHING !). The other day it took me over 3 minutes to get those 4 other players.
Hard to remember that I once had a window in this game showing more than 800 peeps in CCA.

Endeavors complicate this, requiring people to sign up for specific queues unless they want to gamble on randoms (which works well for borg queues.)
Most of the time I get in a queue very quickly as random.
Yep PvE is alive, well and to be honest it is stronger than ever.
