I play GW2 or some other game because there really isnt that much to do outside that....
Crafting, Gathering, Leveling other jobs.
Finding nothing to do ingame while waiting for a queue is a failure on your part.
In-game :
- Fishing, gathering stuffs, shards etc
- Level up crafting
- Flirt with ladies
- /poke every lalafell you see
Outside-game :
- Watch anime
- Cook something
- Play chess
- Nap
I imagine that waiting on queues will be a bigger problem at 50 since I won't have quests to do while I wait.
Besides that I craft, gather or kill stuff to get materials for crafting.
While it is true that you can't force people to craft and gather, it is also true that the OP's stance is basically "There's nothing to do in the game while I wait on Duty Finder because I choose to ignore everything that can be done in the game while I wait."
It's nice to be able to make money via crafting/gathering/mob farming, while in queue. ;)
It's all on how productive you wanna be.
I stare very awkwardly at other adventurers, for long periods of time. Sometimes I'll read my copy of Lalafells and Cooking: Your Guide to Your Very Own Walking Talking Meat Rack! If all else fails, I'll roleplay a cynical mage that breaks the fourth wall and hates sappy Twilight rps taking place in the Druthers on Balmung.
Noone's forcing anyone to do anything. I'm simply stating that there is plenty to do while waiting for a queue. Hell, be social, talk with people in your LS/FC or even anyone wandering around the zone, maybe they want to queue up too, you might end up getting into an instance faster.
I get that not everyone enjoys running around whacking trees, punching rocks and trolling fish, but I also mentioned leveling a new job which can easily be done by picking up any stray quests, hunting log entries, or even catching a few fates.
Exactly.
Really glad i'm not playing my legacy character on Balmung now lol.
Recently, crafting. More often than not though, I like to watch the marketboard for market inefficiencies~ As much as I enjoy combat content, to be truthful, nothing quite fills me with delight like finding something that I can turn a quick profit on.
