Dps long Que why!

Why is that that dps classes get such a long que for instances. I know there are plenty
of tanks and heals and they get there ques quicker but when it comes to dps its like you wait 45min-close to 2hrs.

Simply put: Everybody and their grandma wants to deal damage and not heal or tank

Because DPS is apparently the most popular class, so the DF has to find parties who don't already have one.

What Faith said. Too many people want to play DPS, not enough people want to heal or tank. It's a problem in every game -- WoW right now has around a 1 hour queue for LFR for DPS on my battlegroup, DPS had to LFG significantly longer than tanks, healers or supports in FFXI, so on and so forth.

The simple solution is to make your own party.

What goes around comes around.

When you start playing tanks and healers, you'll enjoy instant queues.
And when the now tanks and healers level up their DD jobs, they'll be sitting in hour-long queues.

In the end it all works out. :3

You want longer ques? start petitioning for Dark Knight to be a dps class.

I am... Batman!

I find error in your statement.

If the majority of of people are in dps roles. When the game flips and dps roles healer/tank. And the healer/tanks roll dps... the majority would still be sitting out. That said... DD's will have instant pops with tank/healers sitting there waiting.

Problem is... too many people are too lazy and don't want the responsibility to level tank or heal after their DPS so it doesn't come around. Still tons of DPS, not so many tank or heal. I play all 3 roles and when I want to get things done like tome stones, I just jump on tank for insta-queue lol.

Why are the queues for DPS longer? Because the ratio of DPS queueing to Tanks/Healers is greater than 2:1 (2 DPS:1 Healer:1 Tank is a normal group). This isn't something SE can fix. It's a player created problem, literally.
