45 minute waits

[Camisado]

Remember you can do many other things while waiting. You don't need to stay in the same area or even as the same class. Go do some FATEs, complete other quests, or work on a craft while you wait for the Duty Finder. I agree though that it is an annoyance, especially since I would expect the wait times to only get longer as more of the population completes the lower level duties with currently no real motivation to revisit 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.

I'm not quite sure what MMO games you have been playing, but in the ones I have become familiar with over the years.. tank and healer roles have always been in large demand. When DPS roles are in abundance and your tanks & healers are fewer and far between, a simple logical deduction dictates that DPS have the longer wait times in queue.

And no one is forcing you to play a certain way, unless a Square employee holding a gun to your head was one of the lesser known "bonuses" of the Collector's Edition.

45 Minutes is short compared to the AK Queue times for max level DPS. An hour and a half to 2 hours are not uncommon Monday through Wednesday nights. Make some friends, join a linkshell, join a guild, etc. and find yourself a tank and/or healer to queue with.

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.

well even when I que marauder sometimes ill have a 20 min wait depending on the duty im trying to do my guess is people gave up lol but I ran ifrit about 10 times after I completed it to help out dps questers. it sure as hell wasn't for the exp

Consider it practice for HM Ifirit.

I think you missed his point or maybe I am reading it different. He was saying in all other MMO's dungeons aren't a must do in order to advance story or move ahead in story of quest. Could be wrong though.

Wait times can suck, but as you and everyone else has said dps are going to be longest so we just need to expect it.

Its an mmorpg, join an fc then get a grp together or ask players in your fc to help, df imo should be the last resort especially as a dps, years ago in early days of mmorpgs there wasnt such thing as df or instance ques, instead people had to communicate and actually put some effort into making a group and imo was much better.
