I am so happy I didn't level to 70 as a DPS!

So, I get my tank to 70 then I decided to level my Monk up doing dungeons only to wait in que for literally 82 minutes! After that, I said screw this. And I already know what players are going say......

1. "O but it will get better in a few months!" So with that logic...are we going to have a influx of new tanks showing up the next few months that really really want to tank or maybe they got sold on Samurai or Red Mage for them wanting to play. Yea that does not quite make sense to me.....

2. "More players are also going to get tired of ques and they will go tank" So by this logic, more and more players are going to be forced into doing something they more than likely do not want to do....some may.....so they instead of playing their fav jobs....they play something they do not want to do. Yea thats kinda a bad thing in my opinion....

3. "The number of players who played tank never really changed because of the new classes we added" So let me understand this......I look on my search tab and see literally 200 Samurai alone on my low pop server(can't imagine the real # on actual larger servers) and SE expected that ques times would not become horrendous to all other DPS? How does that make sense? If you made Samurai into a tank....everyone that wanted to play it would now be a tank and it may not have eliminated long que times at all....but we would not have 60 minute que times for DPS!

So moral of the story.....adding only 2 dps this expansion as I and others stated months ago upon finding out the details is still and will continue to be a really bad idea!

NOW FOR ALL THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO MISQUOTE ME TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK RIGHT WHICH THEY AREN'T, TAKE MY WORDS OUT OF CONTEXT TO DO THE SAME, OR JUST INSULT ME FOR VOICING MY OPINION......Have at it! I will still be playing the game no matter what disrespects you state or mention.....frankly....I just do not care! Have a good day!

I mean, I've only had 10-30 minute queues as a DPS in dungeons so far.

probably depends on your data center, on primal pre expansion dungeon que was around 10 minutes and primal que was less then 5 for dps

now primal que is 15+ and dungeons are 30+ for DPS

This is a two fold problem: one is that tanks, in most PUGs/PUBs, set the pace and have to lead the group. Most people would rather follow than lead as leading implies if **** goes wrong, it's your fault (even though we know that isn't true.)

Second is the lack of diversity in tank. I started as a PLD back in 2.0. In 3.0 I rolled a DRK only to find out its an off tank. Right now from what I understand, the players see tanks as follows:

PLD = MT
WAR & DRK = OT

.......so really, if you want to tank end game, you have one choice. If you want to be the little ***** that's going around grabbing adds or on stun duty (if that's still around, I'm out of date), you go the other 2.

Meanwhile on DPS....how many choices do we have? When you compound the first issue with the second, nobody wants to play tank.

Lol Hmm as a lol 65 tank maybe I should start charging people in df for dungeon..jk people

My queu times have been around 30 minutes as a DPS.

People on my server have already been doing that since the whole content throttling debacle a few days ago!

They just added two new DPS jobs that many players are extremely hyped to play. Even people who mainly heal or tank are excited to try them out.

DPS queues will always be the worst of the three roles, but it will very likely normalize after a time, as the Samurai and Red Mage hype settles.
