My DF queues are instant...

I never have time to farm FATES or gather mats or craft...

A concerned Tank

My DF queses are instant also. The curse of Tank and Healers in mmorpgs xD

I really wish SE would fix this, as it's a very detrimental thing that has real life consequences. This needs to be a top priority fix.

Often times I use the time while in queue to get things done around the house; cook, clean, maybe take out the trash. But when I'm on my tank I just can't do it! I'll queue, stand up, and 'ding!' my queue window pops up saying it's ready. I can't even afk for a pee real quick before dungeons, and it's starting to get absolutely infuriating that they've let this become such a huge issue.

ikr i have to queue then unqueue my duty roulette like 100 times to get in the same one as a friend!

at least in 2.3 we can queue together!

OP is mean, I don't like you >.> (yes I'm a butthurt dps)

You could always like, level a DPS class?

God I know right? I can't get to farm atma because my healer queue is so fast! *wipespretenioustear* #EorzeaFirstWorldProblem

They're all boring though. What SE needs to do is add a lot more DPS classes so tanks can switch to them and no longer be burdened by the lack of time.

That monk grind to 42 felt the longest.... EVERRR!!! :(

Hi. Tank lover here (Oh, and noob, like always)

Just wanted to say that you can't actually say SE to "FIX IT" like if commanding it... What do you want SE to do? Murder all the DPS classes? Add some kind of system to obligatory use tank classes during a certain day of the week?. There's no solution. It's just people that doesn't love tanking because it can be stressful, same as healing.

DPs may takes 30 min for entering, but enjoy better the dungeons they enter, and can FATE grinding or craft while waiting, so where's the problem?... I did like that with my few DPS.

Sorry, had to say my nooby opinion about it, whenever a person says "SE MUST FIX THIS" I feel like... "WTF?". In-game we tanks already have a lot of advantages, I liked tanking, but after 2.2 I like it even more... In the new server Zodiark, I'm quickly a 50 thanks to use a tank class, and I'm gaining money for buy things in market thanks to 4.500 gil reward... And... And... I feel like my DPS damage is almost similar or higher than some DPS... (Of course speaking of warrior, not paladin).

If they add even more advantages to tanks it would probably start breaking balance, in my opinion.

^ This dude got whooshed.

Yeah it sucks I don't even have time to craft food and repair before hand.

Funny thread is funny.

I don't always que as Tank. But when I do...my body is ready.

Play a different class. Problem solved.

But then you would be stuck waiting for for a party for an excessive amount of time.

I'm not sure what do think about this OP. If you want to do something else other than a dungeon then don't get in the queue. Do you items gathering, fates, crafting, then queue in DF. Problem solved.

Tank/Healer queue times is OP and needs a nerf... They should make Tanks/Healers sit in queue for 15 min before they actually get grouped with someone.

Pro Tip, set the language filters to increase the queue time to the desired length.

I've found through testing:
E=instant
J = Instant-5 Min
F = 5 Min
D = 20+ Minutes!!!

Note: Setting multiple categories does NOT increase the wait.

As a healer 5 min waits are entirely too fast! How does SE expect me to grind out my atmas from fates with such short que times.

I'm stuck with only 3/12 atma and making no progress due to short DF wait times. At least it's better for me than tanks, I actually have time to repair. Poor tanks!

SE please do something to fix this!

Tried that already. Went from WAR to PLD and the problem persisted.

Can confirm, I have this problem on my main, WHM, and the alt class I leveled, SCH... though, it doesn't sound like it's as severe for me as you poor tanks; at least I can usually repair...

I might have to unsub if Squeenix doesn't fix this soon.

Awesome idea!....And then DPS wait even more for their runs, with all my respect, I like it.

That doesn't solve anything, you see. If they implement that then DPS will still have their very generous queue duration with an additional 15 minutes for the tank/healer wait. in that additional time they can probably get another 3 atmas, while tanks and healers get left behind on their relic upgrades.

Eventually I have an "awesome" (Hey, wait, when have ever been my ideas awesome? If I'm a noob...) idea:

Tell your friends to use tank or healer, and use tank or healer, then DPS will have faster queues and... WHO KNOWS!.. MAybe....Even... a bonus in roulette... The other day I saw bonus for DPS in Main Scenario Roulette, I wanted to take a screenshot because nobody would believe me, but was lazy, so wether you wanna trust me or not depends of aetherial forces.

Sound like a 1st world problem to me.

They really need to look into this by adding less interesting DPS jobs.

Another two good ways for SE to solve this... are the following ones:

1- Give me some reward, or cookies, so I spread the word, telling how wonderful marauder/warriors can be to everyone so they open their eyes and start playing with them.
2- Assault player's houses and put them a gun aside the head "PLAY TANK".
3- Less radical, easier for everyone!... Select a 50% of the population of the server to be obligated to play healer or tanks during three days, so they can't use any other clases (Neither crafters, or they'd prefer to craft instead of tanking/healing). Then after three days, the other 50% does it, and so on, FORCE THEM AND BE HAPPy, yay!

PS: Please don't take me so seriously, I don't want some ragecomments because this, I'm just following the happy-funny joking line of the OP.

Totally agree with this post! "Hmm I think I'll queue up for a duty roulette and go to the bathroom meanwhile" And when I'm back I missed the queue so now I need to reclick the search button. That is the most annoying part. Having to click that search button again and again and again!
PLEASE FIX THIS SE OR I QUIT
