Developers, Please Fix Tank Qeues For New Content

There are only 3 tank slots available per run of Void Ark and tons of people are queuing as tanks. While that sucks for tanks to have so few slots available, we've seen the alternative in Labyrinth of the Ancients, where there were 6 tank slots and not nearly enough tanks to fill them, so LotA queues were abysmal for everyone. Between the two choices, it's an unfortunate reality that it's better to screw over a small group rather than the entire playerbase.

Tank queues are longer than 2 minutes? Oh, the humanity!!!!! I can't imagine anyone who'd be willing to deal with queues that long. Oh, wait...

Not you little smarty, tanks queue are longer than 50 min try again and your smart comment, in fact they are so long to the point I only have queue once this week because I have to wait more than a hour to get a pop, and honestly I haven't seen this bad for any class on the 2 years I've been playing this game, except if you try to queue for PVP as Flames.

It's true that by only having 3 tanks the queues are significantly faster for a much larger group, but it's also true that the queues for that small group are outright incredibly stupid to even consider to try and pop it.


Note that this also implies that I'm trying to farm a piece of gear that has the lowest % rate to drop. So...yeah this is a little crappie

My main is a DPS. You tanks have had it way too good for way too long. I absolutely have no sympathy for you guys now that you're just "one of us."

Why are tanks waiting over 2 hours to get into Void Ark? Why over 10 minutes for expert roulette. Please fix before everyone quits playing tank again.

3 spots for tanks,15 spots for dps.Hmm i wonder?Cant figure this mystery out?on top of the obvious the curent meta is for most dps to roll tank for Ark instead of 'get good' at Savage.

Don't worry, tanks won't have any sympathy for you once things go back to normal.

All those part time tanks do nothing to help that 1:2:5 ratio. Also a lot of the posts in here are shameful and part of the problem. the DPS is the most played due to how many are needed for instances. Once you have an instance that cuts the needed amount of tanks in half even if only an average of 12.5% of the players played tank on a daily basis you would still have a massive roadblock present when trying to queue for this. It's not a matter of "having it good" for most instances, it's a matter of availability of slots for a class compared to how many jobs there are for a role. there are 3 tank jobs, 3 healer jobs, and 7 DPS jobs. obviously there are going to be way more players leveling/acquiring gear for a DPS at any given moment which is not a fault of the tank. Many of the players playing DPS/tank will obviously crossover to playing tank/DPS, but the slots for an instance will remain unchanged.

I went to bed.

Then I woke up. (Magic)

I found out I didn't have to go into work! Made me happy.

I looked at my pc screen.

It upset me. So I went into work.

So SE, make tank loot 100% drops, since were all waiting this long or do your token system for the armors. My queue time has been like this for the last 5 days from patch day. I've gotten to do void ark twice only.

Why did you guys think that 1 tank in a raid is fine? Can you change the rosters? Make it 2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 dps? Like Labyrinth? I'm sure my buddy who's a DRK and myself whos a WAR can out dps some of the players afk'ing in Void ark.

For real.

That's just ridiculous. Did you try to re-queue?

I've been in Q all day. As a warrior. And I have YET to get into Void Ark. Another example:

My Q was 86 minutes long. I notice my LS raid member as DRK in Void ark. I asked him how long he waited. He told me 30 mins.

My level of being upset continues to rise.
