    Ya but I feel they aren't looking at it from the current perspective based on changes they have made to it.

    DF was designed for ease of content, however with the latest 30 min timer penalty this has added a risk for DD players with longer wait times compared to healers and tank and because of this risk, missing a commence isn't as simple as oh I can just re-queue it's cool it turns into, I have to stare at my computer and wait it out cause if I miss it then I"m locked out from doing anything for 30 minutes.

    There is no consideration for 2/4 of the party but there is consideration for the tanks and healers that can get parties faster? Their wait times aren't as bad by any means, they can afford to withdraw before a party starts, use the bathroom come back and put duty back up. DD can't do they they risk losing their spot if they do get caught in a commence when they are MIA for 45 seconds. And then waiting another 30 mins on top of the 30+ they spent waiting for a Duty in the first place.

    When I explained my scenario, I did so using all my knowledge of it, which also includes my time as a DPS queuer.

    There is no risk other than just figure out the things you can reasonably do while waiting. These statements about how people can't even go to the bathroom is so silly. I've done all these things on everything except tank. I've done SO much while in a queue and never had any issues. Hell, if I'm so worried, I'll fate hop and stay away from from what I know is a beefier boss. Why attempt Cancer on a different job when I'm in DF and I have NO idea what's going to happen there?

    And the reasonable portion of the people that are answering here are not giving examples of how wonderful it is that they are healer/tank and can do whatever. Take the dps vs healer/tank queues somewhere else. I have no idea where you're getting that it's giving healer/tank more consideration considering that we are restricted by the same things. In case of a healer in T7 queue last night, 20 minute queue + timer runs out + 29 minute queue. What you're arguing about is how much DPS queues suck when you've missed it.

    Long story short, if you can't handle the responsibility of queueing for DF and actually hitting commence in the 45 seconds that they've given, then you obviously shouldn't be in a DF.
