Why Are Low Level Dungeons Taking So Long To Get Into?

Instant pop on healer/tanks

Ayup. Not even a fraction of a second's delay. Click join on low level roulette with a healer or tank and the window pops up before you can blink.

Actually... past couple days, I've been waiting on dps in the DR; we have a tank and healer. O_O

They aren't my wife brd has been under 10 mins for the last 2 weeks.

Also there is no really reward to do them as a tank/healer if you are 50 and you want to level a dps job.

My wife has War/PLD/WHM all at 50, the tomes isn't something she cares about vs EXPing her BRD so she doesn't enter as tank or healer.
Setting the daily reward/roles would go a long way to get people in.
Roles being Healer/Tank/Range DPS/ Melee DPS.
If the daily bonce was for all of these rolls the she may queue up as a tank after get her BRD exp for the day.

Or if the tank mount achievement was granted for job in need.

The base daily roulette reward is the DPS bonus.
If they did what you're suggesting, players who would normally choose whatever the bonus role is atm would queue as DPS, flooding the queue even more. It'd make the problem worse.
It is annoying that it feels like they need healers more often than tanks in the low level queues sometimes, though. They should make the bonus update more frequently.

Quick answer: The Rouge/Ninja zerg ended. Now you just have people leveling them up casually and there aren't as many.

The "role in need" bonus is not part of the daily bonus.
While you can get the daily bonus only once until the daily reset, you can get the "role in need" bonus multiple times. Even if you do the same duty roulette 5 times a day.

How to fix? Switch class to tank = insta queue.

it may sound facetious but DPS have always had longer queue times and now that a new job was introduced, and it was the only one, there is an over saturation of DPS across the board. I love Ninja and want to play it real bad but i'm waiting because of this fact. I'm taking this opportunity to level my Healer and my other tank class and its working quite well! If you are dead set on Levelling a DPS right now, i'm terribly sorry but there is little that could be done to "fix" that.

And this is fine. It's not necessary to entice DPS to continually flood the queues all day.

Just wait for 3.0 when all the people who can't tank, try and tank.

[ReddAxel]

Not sure if serious...

Que as a tank or healer. Less than 5 minute wait, everytime.

IKR!? Peace and good will to my fellow players, but I envision times of less-than-harmonious grouping when this happens.
