Problems with ST queue taking a long time for tanks

So tanks have to wait for 1 queue in the game?

As a dps I feel so sorry for them...

Wait... I don't even... Are you serious? :/

I'm a tank, btw, and the queue is not that bad. Also, if you go in with friends it's pretty much instant (and I'm not even talking about going with a full party), aside from the usual withdraws. Not to mention that the tank spot that is filled with the fifth dps helps them get a faster queue, and they need it more than us.

Tank queue on my server/cluster is still good. <5mins last i did ST (earlier today).

In ST the party make up is, 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 dps per party x 3. The problem with this is it deviates from all the other 8 man content in FFXIV that is 2 tanks 2 healers and 4 dps. With so few tank spots to fit in all the tanks that normally play this game makes us have a really long wait compared to healers and dps.

Suggestion make change the party set up back to 2 tanks 2 healers, 4 dps like it was in the original crystal tower. The queue time for tanks was much lower and more reasonable wait of 1-10 min.

Speaking purely as someone who leveled through the story as and mostly plays BLM, you will get precisely zero pity from me.

Also, I'd just like to add: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHHAHHHAHAHAHAHA!

Just wondering why tanks are feeling so entitled.

"Oh no! I need to wait on que like any normal dps... Shit change it! Let THEM wait. Not meee!"

Also title is misleading. There is no problem with que. Welcome to not being catered around?

30mins-1hr for tank queue? Is your server dead or you mistakenly queue D or F only?

And some tanks wonder why they get hated on.

Ah yes, another princess tank who thinks they are the most important thing in existence.

Hell, judging by how stupid a good portion of tanks are in ST (they fight over aggro of the main boss and don't help with adds) I'd say just having one tank for the entire raid would be fine. As a BLM, I'm most often the one that gets the add in place during the Glasya Labolas fight. That's how useless they can be.
