Did something happen to Duty Finder queue?

Ever since 2.1 and the new server structure, I've noticed queue times insanely high.. I know DPS is expected but things were never this bad.

Square, is this a known issue or is everything working as intended? to me it feels as though the new server structure changed something, are we not being paired with enough servers anymore?

I suspect Party Finder is being used more because it gives people the chance to select those they want to play with, meaning the speedrunners can avoid those needing the 'story' version.

Also, the NA and EU server groups were separated so I expect that's a big problem now too.

Holiday break = more people playing = more casual DPS players in your queues. Healers/Tanks get swooped up by FCs/LSs, they finish myth capping/CT runs early in the week and have no reasons to rerun beyond the one run per day for Duty Roulette. Healers/tanks can cherry pick in-progress runs instead of waiting for fresh runs.

Make a friend or bribe a tank if you do not want to keep waiting in queues all day. Level a tank yourself to solve your problems.
