45 minute waits

Thought duty wait times had been sorted?

I think that it very much depends upon what class you are in the queue as and also what you are in the queue for

Exactly, a storyline feature that works great only for certain classes. even now I am hearing comments that people are not making new characters, so low level areas are becoming a waste land

The wait times ARE a bit ridiculous :( its almost always above 40 minutes for me on Diabolos.
It's not that nobody isn't making new characters, they are just focusing more on their main class as of now until they start a new class.

If your a DPS.. you'll always face long wait times for any 'duty finder' missions..... its just a facet of being a DPS. There's about a billion of us all fighting for the same spot.

DF up as a Tank or a healer you get in about 15-20 DPS take alot longer sadly.

As a Tank my DF pops instantly. Never have an issue with it. Its all about supply and demand, as the others have said. Tanks are in short supply compared to the amount of DPS classes. Healers are also hardly available. While I don't agree with it, a tank can pick and choose his DF groups. If he doesn't like his group, he can find another fairly easy. A 15 minute penalty is not very long for us, considering the DPS wait times.

What people should be asking is for SE to try to make tanks more desirable. While I love my class, not everyone shares my love.

The longest i have had to wait so far is 5 mins as a tank. DPS always have long wait times, its almost better to try and make your own group, or even join a FC and do runs with them.

So basically to get the best from this game I have to play it someone else's way and not my own. I have always liked these types of game and in the many years I have played, I have always been able to play the game my way.

In almost all I have played dungeons where never a major part of the storyline until we'll into the game. When dungeons had to be done wait times for ALL classes where never a major issue, yes you had to wait but never the sort of times you have to wait here.

Really? In every major MMO I have ever played, the wait times for DPS were always the worst when it came to waiting for dungeons.

Nobody is saying you can't play the game the way you want. But you can't complain about the speed of your progression because you don't want to use the alternative. Part of being a DPS class means you have to accept that you have longer queues. Just like as a tank I have to accept that I will always be the first to be blamed if a party wipes. Regardless if someone else screwed up.

SE gives you the tools to level at your own pace. Plenty of people out there who play the same class as you do who can get from 1-50 in nothing flat. I have been playing since Beta 4 and am just now near 50. I level the way I want to.
