40-50 minutes duty finder wait time

Is there really no help for this, to sit around with this time sink is insane. as DPS to have to wait 40 to 50 minutes to get into a dungeon in order to progress the storyline.

level a tank ....wait time will be 1 min... it will always be much much longer for dps in such system, everyone wants to dps

Well - that's DPS for you. First of all - you don't really need to sit there and stare at the screen - that's why you have the DF - just sign up and go around doing some other stuff in game in the meantime (or even IRL). What also helps a lot to decrease the waiting times is to select all the languages instead of just the default one preselected in DF (if indeed youdn't mind being matched with player who might not speak your language).

it is kinda bad.
I here the wait times for healers and tanks is a lot less.
personally I just don't have the focus to try the duty finder as these jobs.
what I tend to do is pick up a lot of quests or leve's and throw the Duty finder on.
the only issue I have had is summoning my chocobo, instance quests and picking up duty finder content mid leve and having it auto fail.

Hi, there are a lot of DPS classes compare to Tank and Healers. so there is no way to speed up the duty finder waiting time.

You can form your own group, shouting, or with the help of Free Company or a Linkshell

Even having one more player in party with you will increase the chances of being joined by DF (unless indeed you're both DPS at which case it wouldn't do much difference).

I am really glad I am a tank. Any dungeon finder in any MMO is always going to have a slow wait time for DPS. No offense, but your the most expendable member of a party. A tank or healer leave or die, your in trouble. DPS goes down, well...you still have one more left. This of course will change with higher end dungeons where you need everyone alive or you lose. Like inSWTOR, if you failed to DPS a boss down in a certain amount of time, they would enrage and everyone would die. Other MMO's have that mechanic as well.

I think that mechanic is demon wall in AK which from what I hear instant kills you if you can't kill it in time. I have yet to do this dungeon mind you

I doubt SE needs to do anything but wait until people invest in multiple classes so that they will level out and wait times reduces because of the increase in flexibility.
The only thing to do now is have patience whilst the game "normalises" in the first few months.

It has just released after all and there will inevitably be teething problems.

I load he DF, wait 2-3 seconds, I'm in as a DPS. But play times can adjust that time frame. Early morning hours in EST zone and I wait from 5-20 minutes, evening hours and weekends are no problem.
