    Title of the post says it all.

    Just queue up for the dungeon via Duty Finder, might seem faster with pf but I find nobody actually wants to join those and get stuck with whoever else for a few runs. When I level a dps I queue up, then watch a series or something in the background until the queue pops. You might also like leveling a crafter/gathering class or do fates in the meantime.

    How'd you add an incentive via PF when most people don't know how to use it properly?

    Been sat in a DF queue for 27mins now. I'll just redirect you back to the title of the OP for clarification.

    DPS get long queues since a ton of people play them. Tanks and Healers get shorter queues since not a lot of people play them.

    Also you give 0 suggestions on what kind of incentive's Tanks/Healers should get to remedy queues, so the least you could do is think of an idea rather than asking others to think of it for you.

    I don't know about you but as a tank I wait like maybe 2 minutes max for my DF to pop. I'm actually playing the game. if I'm gonna pair with randoms I might as well not have to way 30 minutes.

    After taking time off from this game, I came back and realized the same thing. There's very little incentive to go back as a tank or healer to play.

    Most people who play tank classes are already 70, same with Healers. You'll find very few who are still leveling (I am still leveling pld and drk but I keep taking breaks)

    So with most people already at 70, and the very very few who are still leveling, the game is set up to give very little reason to go back and level. Even with roulettes.

    I guess if you add in PoTD / Fate grinding and just the ease of leveling a tank it lowers things even more. I know with my PLD I can select the current dungeon I want and run it once, and quickly level up. As a DPS I'm at the mercy of roulette and hope I get something that doesn't give me low XP.

    Only incentive for Tanks/Healers is queue times. That's it.

    At 70 there is no way to further progress. Clusters and the materia offered are generally worthless if not needed for melding onto gear and any gil received from selling them results in nothing you can feasibly spend it on.

    So basically once Tanks and Healers run through the content once or finish up raiding or whatever they disappear back into the woodwork until the next content patch.

    Hear me good people, I bring to you a solution.
    I call it, the pet tank http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...for-a-pet-tank


    EDIT:
    Also want to point out as a tank main I never join PF groups when I can DF as that will make the commendations rain from the sky.
