Adventurer in Need Bugged???

I enjoy queuing up as the adventurer in need for my daily roulettes and has anyone noticed it behaving strangely?

For example, when the adventurer in need is a tank it takes several minutes for the queue to pop for me. If I cancel the queue and requeue as a healer it pops instantly. Is this intentional game design, or is the adventurer in need bugged? How exactly does the adventurer in need bonus function why does it sometimes give bonuses to the less needed jobs?

Because there is a delay in the changing of the display for Adv in need. It can also depend n the content you queue for.

Alliance raids will always be a slower pop for tanks, eve if its adv in need, for example.

It's not the "less needed job" as you put it, it's whatever at that moment you opened DF was the most needed. If you queue when the bonus says tank as a tank, even if it takes a minute of two, you get the bonus as a tank.

Adventure in need is updated periodically not whenever you open the duty finder menu. Its given to whatever the roulette needs more of to balance queue times over the next period of it updates. This including ever instance in its roulette, even people only queueing for a single instance. Take like puppets bunker might need 1 tank 1 healer and up to 7 dps it'll say tank because it has a higher weight because the instance needs less. But you queue as a healer and get say world of darkness instantly, it wasnt trying to balance out that as much but duty finder tries to lessen queues if a instance would be full rather then the longer waiting queues. Whenever you queue you get locked in for that bonus, even if it changes before duty finder finder a instance for you.

Its not bugged, its just not what how you are expecting it. It works just fine.

I remember when 5.0 dropped, DPS in need happened a lot, but it still took me 45 minutes to get through the queue. I suspect because many players were trying out Gunbreaker that it caused there to be too many tanks in queue.

Do you have join party in progress selected?

Thanks for this post, I now understand it. It makes so much more sense now.
