Dps long Que why!

How are there people that still don't understand? There are plenty of players playing tanks and healers out there, we're just not using the Duty Finder, since we do not have to. There isn't a "tank shortage" at all, just a shortage of experienced and skilled players willing to carry random newbies in Duty Finder. Stop relying on the Duty Finder to make your parties for you. Yes its there for convenience, but no, it is by far the worst solution to your problems. Instead of waiting an hour for a queue next time, pay a geared player some gil to queue up with you.

Because there are still people like you who don't understand. Why do you keep advocating for paying a tank gil just so they can do the dungeon? People just need to make more friends in an MMORPG where they forgot the Ms because of the DF.

Because it is an immediate solution to the OP's problem. Yes you can make friends, that shouldn't need to be said, but chances are your friends have no reason to run you through Haukke Manor either, and you can't always bother your friends or your new FC mates with meaningless runs. I imagine the entire reason people complain about Duty Finder problems is that they don't have friends available who want to run these things either. What I'm saying is, when your friends are not there to run with you, the option to just pay someone else is there. You should never resort to the Duty Finder, and if you do you should know what you're in for in terms of queue times and player conflicts.

Opportunity cost. The time you spend in queue, wiping in dungeons because your tank is ungeared and clueless, waiting for AFKers to come back, arguing with the healer trying to spiritbond in all crafting gear, explaining fights to new DPS, downtime between runs, all that time can be spent doing other things. If you have limited playtime then it absolutely makes sense to pay a little bit to a geared tank to help run you through dungeons. Should you have friends in an MMO that help you? Of course. Will they always be there? Probably not.

We certainly do NOT need these "omg dps queues are longer than tank queues" posts popping up every week.
