Duty finder- where all the players?

Too many DPS not enough healers and almost zero tanks.

Guys a bit of advice try to treat your tanks with some respect, if you bitch at them like some do it makes people less likely to play tank classes, also those healers and DPS who see tanks getting bitched at are less likely to try to tank themselves.

It's a bit different because using this analogy, there's also hundreds or thousands of roller coasters on the track at the same time.

maybe theyre all put off by the tryhard leetist wannabees who turn up to level 35 dungeons in white vendor level 26 gear then moan and ragequit like that noob just did in one i was just in

As a tank I get zero queue time in any dungeon past level 30. It is crazy how fast they pop. I click the duty finder and once the window closes I get the commence dialog.

Tanks are always in short supply in every MMO ever, and DPS queues are always horrendous. The players have only themselves to blame for this. Want faster (instant) queues? Learn to tank, or stop crying. You should be kissing the tanks feet every time your queue pops that he decided to queue up solo. What's more, it's mostly the bad damage dealers that cause tanks to avoid going solo DF. I'd rather shout for 2 semi-competent damage dealers that will follow my markings and learn on any mistakes we might make rather than queuing solo and possibly getting a terrible dps. The healers I'm mostly not worried about, have yet to run into a bad one.

almost 4 hour que tonight with no luck for tam-tara, this is the 2nd day in a row with no luck getting into the dungeon :O maybe i'll have more luck tomorrow

Im a whm and I have long ques.

I can't see folks who are lumped in this category sticking around very long. The dungeons starting at Sunken Temple and beyond will probably have an above average difficulty level for folks that are new to the genre. It will only increase from there, and I certainly can't see these types of people engaging in endgame, especially since there's a gear check, and quested armor won't cut it.

I really don't like how dungeons are part of the story lines. That way I could progress in the story and wait for my friends to catch up, before waiting hours for a queue. Primals I get, dungeon were better left as quests of there on.

ditto, i've been stuck on Titan quest

so not only does the DF "kill" the same server communities cause you don't really party with people from your own server anymore, it also doesn't solve the "shout for hours to get something done" problem.

i can't help but laugh at this.. :<
