You think PVE queue is bad in queues? Try PvP

Oh and in WoW wait times for classes could be insanely long as well.

If you are queuing that long, maybe too many people have you blacklisted? Or you blacklisted too many?

Or are you queuing for something rarely done like the level 40 8man guildhest?

It isn't that hard to pick out a bad or stupid dps, just that Tank and Healer mistakes generally come with far greater consequences.

Personally though, as a main DPS, I haven't sat in queue longer than 45 min since before 2.1; except for a time recently when I ran one of my mates through T3.

5 hours?
My average queue time as a melee DPS (Monk) is around 5 minutes. 1 minute if I check my retainers or talk to a NPC during the queue. I do roulettes.

Releasing more healer/tank classes does not increase the number of players who want to heal or tank.

Wait a minute 5+ hours wait? Yet you said you can only play 1-3 hours a day. How would you know it took 5+ hours? My que time is instant, oh wait I'm a tank. Video game harassment doesn't bother me, then again haven't been harassed yet either. You could try switching servers if it bothers you that much.

Seems to be a big liar...

MNK has nearly instant que, sorry you picked a saturated job.

This is what I was considering posting but wasn't sure I wanted to give out this little secret. But since you already did I'll second this. DF is designed to try and get an even split between melee and ranged dps. There are far more people playing ranged either because that's what they prefer or are scared to play melee since it takes a little more skill to pull off rotations and has a lot more dodging involved. So ranged get stuck in queue longer while the melee get in ahead of them.

On my drg I never wait more than 5 mins for a roulette. Also when CT first released I geared my BRD then BLM and queues were an hour plus for both. Geared my MNK 3rd and if it wasn't an instant queue it would almost always be less than 5 minutes.

In fact, aren't the healers complaining about 'trash' tanks with the new incentives given to them?
