Need to put lock outs on over populated jobs.

[Phaylis]

SE just needs to implement a completion bonus for those who queue up for the in demand class. So there should be a icon near each instance that indicates a shortage of heals or tanks and if you queue you have a chance for bonus exp, gil or say tome drops on completion of the instance. This won't totally fix shortages but will help queue times a bit. As well it should encourage tanks or heals not to bail mid instance.

The tank shortage is getting worse and worse. It is funny seeing people queue though as healers and tanks to gear up dps. Any currency of tomes you aquire should be only allowed to be spent on the job/role you did the runs for.

But on the bigger issue there is a large tank shortage and overabundance of healers right now if you keep tabs on jobs being played in the game. On most nights the white mage/scholar numbers exceed 200 while paladin/warriors barely hit 200 played. To help with the job disparity in the duty finder please lock out healers/dpsers if the queue exceeds an amount of healers/dps to tank ratio or at most give a huge penalty in tomes dropped. No one should be forced to waste 3 hours just to enter a instance because of lack of healer or tank balance.

maybe u should roll a tank since it concerns you so much .

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: start paying the good tanks on your server for runs.

As of now, the best players in the game log on for 2 hours a week to raid and do 5 WPs with the FC. As a Coil geared tank, we have ZERO incentive to queue in Duty Finder. None.

Cause that's not a rip off of WoW at all.....

So what if it is? It's an amazing idea, especially in a game like this where you can so easily take advantage of it. It updates dynamically in WoW, so it's only there when there's a severe shortage of a specific role. And you know what? It works.

People might say "That's not fair to dps!". But nothing is stopping dps from switching to a tank or healer and taking advantage of the bonus, now is there? The end result being that queues end up significantly shorter for everyone all around.

SE is not going to tell their paying customers that there are penalties or rewards for playing certain classes over others. You buy the game you get to play whatever you want. The best solution, join a FC and don't use the df.

Well here is part of the issue. Myself as well as others only run duty finder with a premade (for SR). Also there are plenty of tanks, the issue is there are too many dd's because it dosent take anything to play a dd, its the easiest job /class or what have you that you can play. Also seeing as dd's tend to be impatient and decide to run ahead or aggro mobs , why in the hell would I wanna use duty finder to deal with that as a tank.
Till the dd's learn there place duty finder can just collect dust.

Havn't been raged on yet (mostly due to using Premades, and running DL/+1 SR's) But like others have said, roll a tank and you will never have a tough time getting geared. Welcome to every other Triad MMO created...

its called yakuza in japan

not triad

triad is in china

I haven't queued up on the DF for a random group in absolutely ages, why bother?

Queuing in the DF is just masochistic until they introduce some sort of reward system for participating in random groups.
