Anyone Sad about the games Decline

[Lingarn]

So how about them 40-80minute+ DF timers for anyone not a Healer or Tank? When the game actually was crowded you got near instant queue times regardless of what role you played, since a lot of people were actually doing certain dungeons. Even Ifrit takes awhile as Healer/Tank on some clusters.

Queue times, from the first dungeon on, have always been 30+ min for me as a damage dealer. I'm happy for you that you were able to get into dungeons faster at some point, but I never had near instant queue times.

all hail the add gamer, lets race to server firsts, then lets complain because we got everything done so fast

Im trying to still stay sucked in to ARR but i just cant. Its not because its like other mmo's though. My problem is i cant seem to progress past the Aurum Vale dungeon. Im a 48 WHM and have tried running that insanely hard dungeon about 8 times now and havent even made it past the first boss once... You can call me a pansy all you want i really dont care but i think im gonna go back to wow where im actually a good healer and can clear content cuz apparently i suck balls at healing in ARR

Just finished this one over the weekend. On the first boss we each called our what fruit we would be taking at the beginning and that helped a lot.

Honestly, the only clue I need to know that Java is just another naysayer is the little pop-up I get when I log in saying, "The World is full, you have been placed in a queue:" I get it alot. Off-peak it's a tiny little queue, peak it's a 5-10 minute wait. Tells me alot about the crowdedness of the game, or at least the crowdedness of my server.

Less people play Healers and tanks , they are more work and effort .
If 80% of the game majority plays DPS
and
20% max play Healers and Tanks

Your Ques will be longer
Heck even if 50% played DPS and 25/25% played healers and tanks your Ques would still be long but then it would be in the 10-15mins max range.

Simply put there are less people willing to do more than Pew Pew than the people who just want to Pew Pew .
No one is forcing you to play something of effort but if you cannot get a Fast que .................well that falls on you.

Look at it this way , 8 DPS go into DF , 1 Tank Goes into DF , and 1 Healer
Party Size Max is 4 people
That means 6 players are without a Healer and Tank , until 2 of them gets sick of DF and has to get on their healer and Tank , jobs or go level them..............
Really not that hard to understand.

I think Gilraen was talking about getting a queue just to enter the game, not DF.

Do you want to know about another mmo that's declining ? WoW, GW2, Tera, Aion, TOR and pretty much every mmo known to man. How do I know that? Someone said it on their respective forums...

No but seriously, is it really that important to know the number of subs and if it's increasing or decreasing? I personally think that trying to somehow guess the general tendency is a waste of time. As long as there is enough people to play with and the duty finder queues are quick enough, I'm fine.
