Lawl... theres no tank shortage.... Their just level 50 and don't use the duty finder for low level dungeons anymore. And any tanks leveling up low level are a dps or healer leveling their alt so their not going to tank.
Basically, Duty Finder is a luxury, a nice to have feature.... It's not something you balance a game around.
If this were implemented, I just wouldn't use the Duty Finder.
...oh wait, I never do anyway.
If you, as a DPS, cannot make friends with a single Tank on your server to queue with, you are failing at MMOs.
Also, someone made a great point in that you don't even need a Tank to complete most dungeons. Summoner w Titan is adequate for most if not all dungeons in Duty Finder provided you can make your own party on your server.
*Shrugs* I generally never have to wait any longer than 15~30 min in the DF any more.
I'm a pld and war level 50, both with relic, but the reason I don't like to use them, unless asked by a friend or a FC mate, is because people expect us to know everything. If the fight goes to hell, it's the tanks fault.
I wanted to tank Titan as War, but the healer were complaining that they were healing too much... (seriously). So, for me to do my relic in WAR I had to become a WAR dps instead and let someone else tank it as a PLD.
These are some of the reasons why people don't like tanking.
The other reason is that PLD is not fun to tank. Where as with WAR I'm having a blast, but I can't use it because healers don't like to heal WAR... So how can I play a tank, when it's just a dilemma just to play it. That's why I don't like playing tank. I rather play SMN or BLM instead, even it if takes me hours to get in the DF.
How about no. People should be able to play whatever class they choose to, just like you do. Why should they be forced into a certain class that they don't enjoy? Just make friend with a tank or play one. My queue as Warrior is instant and I enjoy it but I don't regularly go DF as I have people in my FC to run with, that I know they're good.
Stupidest suggestion that I have read on these forums to date. It doesn't go your way, so you want everyone to pay the penalty because you are experiencing long wait times like everyone else playing DPS?
Play as a tank if you want insta-queue times - problem solved. Or befriend a Tank from your LS/FC/server.
I actually wonder why they don't let you select which job you want to role on. I'd love to queue as my tank or healer for my shot at demagogue ring, but I will not due to not being able to need on it, and I'm sick of "seal-spec" people winning it over me.
Out of 102 people in my FC, 18 of them are Paladins. 7 are Warriors. That's nearly 25% of my FC as tanks.
Obviously that doesn't mean the entire population falls in that statistic, but 9/10 times someone asks to join
the FC it's a Paladin. Just sayin'. =P
Or you as dps can stop calling tanks noobs and complaining about their bad threat, and stop pulling before them and start to give them time to build threat.
Oh but forget what I say, I'm an under leveled noob what do I know.
