    Seeing as there are 9 jobs, the correct solution is 5 DPS, 2 tank, 2 healer parties. Even if everyone chose every job evenly (i.e. no more BLM than PLD) the fact that there are more DPS jobs to chose from than tanks and healers to choose from combines, it's not a really a player problem. In fact it would be better if they just removed one of the DPS roles, (such as MNK) and we would get even queue times given the scenario above.

    And yet they are adding more DPS roles.

    Actually, the "correction" would be to remove a tank spot, so there wouldn't be a shortage.

    Hmm.. 5 dps roles 2 tanks, 2 healers
    3 man parties: 2 dps, 1 healer -> healer shortage, ratio is 5:2
    7 man parties: 4 dps, 1 tank, 2 healers -> healer shortage, ratio is 1:1 for H:T, 2:5 for HPS; secondarily DPS shortage ratio is 5:2 for DPS:T

    Not sure where you learned your math.

    It was a joke. You can't remove a tank when we only have 1 in a 4 man party. I meant it as a worthless suggestion like "So play a tank" is. Sorry it didn't come off as sarcastic.
