    Not even close to what I said.

    The point is this:
    Let's say you have a tank which is already decked out in the best tank gear dungeons/bosses have to offer. You also play a job which has to queue as DPS and want to get equipment for it. Given the current system you have to queue as that DPS job in order to have any hope of getting the equipment that drops; if you enter as your tank job you'll be forced to roll greed with everyone else who can't equip it and just picked that to convert it to seals or if they ever level that job, etc.

    You are now one DPS in a veritable sea of them waiting on more tanks and healers to queue up. If you were allowed to get something for your DPS job while still playing your tank, not only would you get in nearly immediately, but so would two people queued as DPS who have probably been waiting for an hour or more. Not only that, but your party would likely fare better given that you're already decked out in good gear, rather than playing something you need the drops on to be better.

    More people joining as tanks and healers means more runs for everyone (at least to a certain point), but the way the system is set up now discourages people from doing so and encourages everyone to make the problem worse by joining as the job they want gear for. For people actually queuing as DPS, yes you might have more competition for drops, but you're also no longer waiting two hours to even get into the damned thing.
