    I understand DPS have longer que times.. but this is ridiculous. I waited in que for 56mins for AV. Seriously, I took a screen shot and everything... Duty Finder was supposed to make it so we didn't have to wait for groups for hours but I find this takes about the same time. Not to mention, I finally get into a group for AV and they cant even take out the first pull without death ._.; ugh. We did finally beat AV but it took almost the entire timer and several deaths. (oh, and I forgot to talk to quest npc first so I have to do it again... yay fml lol)

    it matches you with other people, if there is no Tank or Healer to be matched with you have to wait
    What is you solution? The problem is not in DF, problem is that there is just not enough tanks

    Nothing much can be done about the queue times though tbh. It's a problem with the community in the servers which u DF in. If the majority of players in the DF pool that you queue in are playing DPS, with a shortage of tanks and healers, it's definitely gonna equate to longer or impossible DF queue times.

    Think of it this way:
    World A has 30 DPS queueing for dungeon x.
    World B has 50 DPS queueing for dungeon x.
    World C has 20 DPS queueing for dungeon x.
    Then you, as a DPS queue for dungeon x.
    You are put in a queue of approx. no. 101.
    Assuming each dungeon takes in 2 DPS at one go, you will need to wait for the appearance of 50 tanks and 50 healers throughout all the worlds that are queueing for said dungeon as well.

    Of course this is an exaggeration but it's not exactly far off from the truth when you are playing at the peak hours of said worlds.
    They're trying to fix this by implementing duty roulette in 2.1 to help people who are stuck with quests that require dungeons.

    If you want to have a quick run through the storyline, I suggest going either tank or healer. Tank would be the more ideal choice as there is a definite shortage of tanks throughout all worlds right now.

    Have to admit, AV is one of worst example of DFing. In the end, I had to do it with either LS or FC buddies. And since I had to do it at least 3 times, due to me being switching through GC, that's kinda a bit pain in the ass.

    Thank goodness it's all over now. Each AV for 3 GCs done. lol
