Delay the Rogue/Ninja class till expansion.

The most elaborate response I could come up to your petition, summed up to the following.
No.

A haiku for your request:

No no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

Adding Ninja will make the DPS/TANK/HEALER ratio to become 3-1-1. Or you rise party setup to become 5, 10 and 26 players to conserve that 3-1-1 or DF is going to explode and the whole NIN experince will become just another bad implemented system. We want new classes? Of course, but i think we want to enjoy those classes too.

Just saying that no matter what SE does they will not be able to please everyone. Even with new tanks/healer jobs what makes you think people will play those first and ques will be better? will probably be the same as it is now. I haven't waited more then 20 minutes as a dps in que though for roulettes, havent set it for specific dungeons or content though. Yes I know some people have waited an hour + but I think it will remain that way if you que for a specific dungeon instead of roulette.

It would be awesome if SE raised the level cap with the addition of new classes. Then people would have a reason to continue leveling other jobs. Doubt they will do that for 2.4 though.

THey should have released Dark KNight (Tank) and Chemist (Healer) along with Ninja and Thief. =(

Que times are going to be outragous.

Except that was something people actually wanted. The OP might as well have asked if people wanted a sharp stick in the eye, no one is seriously going to want Rogue/Ninja to be delayed. SE has a time table and will drop crumbs along the way to keep people happy till the next big expansion.

As i said, DF and party system works with a DPS/tank/healer ratio of 2-1-1. But in game classes already make it 2.3-1-1 since there are 5 DPS classes and just 2 tanks and 2 healers. Adding another DPS to this will make everything even worse with a 3-1-1 ratio and counting a lot of the player base will be pulled to this new one class.

The already long enough low level DPS queue of 30 minutes will turn into 2 hours queues if you get called at all.

Most of you guys are just thinking in the instant gratification of having a new class to level, but you are not thinking on how it will be delivered and its impact on the game as it is now. Another DPS class ALONE right now is a mistake.

And everyone saying yes to it right now, will be here for when 2.4 comes arround to create threads about how DF doesnt work and you cant even level your new RGE/NIN because no one is playing anything but RGE/NIN and the ratio of roles will be so broken that things just are not gonna work.

Yoshida said a long time ago that new classes will come with a level cap increase, and even if im with you about it solving part of the problem, it wont. Rising the level cap will prevent mostly hardcore games who already have their main characters chosen for high end content to level IN high end content. The population flux towards the lower levels and the only new class will create a catastrophe in the low level DF.

Anyone who cares just a bit about the in game quality of life and the whole game experience will want this to be delayed and properly delivered. Instant grafication, and those crumbs you talk about are the things that ruins game experiences in the first place.

Everyone who is up for NIN right now and alone, is also up for +2 hours queues and a poor game experience in general leveling this class.

DPS queue times are going to be insane in 2.4

Everybody and their mother will be leveling Rogue.

Releasing just a dps class is a bad idea. I don't want to see it be delayed but it's still a bad idea.

it would be a jolly good time to level tank jobs on my alt/2nd alt. dat instant queue and bonus, delicious.
