    Considering I've only been playing as BLM since ARR launched....they weren't for me, nor were they for many others I've spoken to. It's gotten worse, not better. The AK issue was more of an actual glitch in their system then a problem with DPS classes being many and tanks being few.

    Nah, the wait now has nothing to do with instances available or the datacenters being in groups. Adding more servers or removing the dividers won't do much of anything since the root issue is still the same.

    As an example of the Reserving Instance issue:


    That was COMMON, especially on Mondays. As you can see the group was already complete, they had to wait for a free instance server.

    Again, that is not an issue with too many DPS and not enough tanks, which is what the issue at present is. That was a problem with their servers reaching max capacity for number of instances allowed for that dungeon. I see your point, but it has nothing to do with the one I'm making at present.

    And that issue cannot be fixed without people playing tanks/healers more or groups allowing more than 2 DPS per tank/healer combo. Opening up DF to all servers again, will not help. Part of the reason it would get worse in that regard is how tanks, more so new and learning ones, are treated in instances. You might be a nice little butterfly, but many are not.

    What do you want them to do, force people to tank? Opening up the DF, assuming they could get rid of the instability issues, won't help. So, next on your list?
