120 Minute Queue and counting for AK - Beef up Dungeon Finder

It's an embarrassment. I sit in a queue longer than it takes for me to run AK once (always with full premades). If we haven't had issues with the Duty Finder since P4, maybe I'd have more patience - but we haven't. It's been an issue since the first day I logged in and it *still* sucks. What the hell?

Yeah, it is frustraiting as hell. We had 3 FC members (our tank had a fire alarm call) so we sat there and waited, and waited... found a tank, reserving instance, tank drops, reset, found tank, reserving instance, tank drops, reset... rinse... repeat. I am sure we were just highly unlucky to keep getting tanks queuing that didn't actually want to wait for the instance reservation. 1 hour later of this constant back and forth our tank came back from his emergency call, we were inbetween tanks at the time (as in... it hadn't paired us up with a tank again, nevermind being at the reserving instance part) so we just left queue and did a full party queue. 45 minutes later we were finally in the dungeon.

We started this vicious cycle at about 7:30 EST... finally got into a dungeon at around 9:30... this is terrible. It isn't a problem with people queuing or not queuing... it is a lack of space on the server.

Yeah, I doubt they balanced the tome costs and stuff around an additional hour of wait time per instance run....almost doubling the effective cost of everything.

Yep this too. Are all worlds sharing the Duty Finder server? or is it just 4-5 servers? Either way they need to rethink their distribution of resources on this as its one of the lifebloods of the game. A lot of people are becoming high level now and want to test the various content only to be turned/driven away by loooooong queue times.

Same thing here. This started to happened last saturday for me and it's only getting worse every day. As a tank, the party gets gathered either instantly or after 5 min if the queue is short on healer and then starts the wait....wait for a slot on the instance server to open. This is a huge issue that needs to be adressed asap. I will not wait a month for this to be fixed, when I come back from work and want to do one dungeon or 2 in the vening before going to bed I want to have fun. I don't want to spend 45 minutes doing something else than what I wanted initially. This is ruining my fun right now.

Well, I got a whopping two runs done in 4.5 hours...something needs to be fixed. This is unacceptable.
