Why unsub

Although changing the XP balance between fates and dungeon will have an effect, I can't see how it's possible to see if this will increase or decrease queue times for DD's. It's just as likely that more DD's queue up into the system after the changes which may only make the wait time worse. On top of that, then people will no longer want to form fate parties while they all wait for dungeons to pop (can't be queue'd while in a party), making fate farming harder to manage. This could leave everyone in a worse position then what we have now.

Just saying, be careful for what you seek.

In addition to the post I made on the previous page, I remember them saying they are adding in a system that knows what classes are needed (ie more healers or more tanks) and if you queue up as one of those you get a bonus reward (exp, gold, allagan.)

FATE parties aren't really a necessity until Coerthas and beyond, due to the 15 minute NMs getting zerged and dying within 20 seconds. If you're not in a group you won't get a worthwhile amount of contribution.

I leveled my Arcanist/Summoner from 15-40 completely solo while queuing for dungeons in between FATEs and got by alright. When I moved to Northern Thanalan it became clear you weren't going to maximize your XP potential without getting into a FATE group.

You bring up a good point about more DPS joining the queue, but more tanks and healers will as well. Obviously I can't track things like SE does, but it's hard to say whether the amount of tanks/healers joining the queue will offset the amount of DPS that are as well. The only dungeon I've had any luck getting a quick queue as a DPS for was Brayflox, and I think that's mostly because people were joining them to farm the level 30 armor sets. Every other instance has been a ghost town and takes anywhere between 30 mins to an hour, or more, to get into a group.

I'm not really sure why the end-game dungeon running doesn't include the storyline instances. The player scaling tech is there. If the rewards were the same as AK/WP I'm sure it'd be popular enough even as a DPS.

Hopefully they gave some thought to changing the dungeon requirement for leveling. The older the game gets, the smaller the base of people available to run those old dungeons, and you're blocking progress for new people.
