Duty Finder queues are too damn long!

[LeCard]

DPS queues are extraordinarily long, to the point that it is difficult to progress or enjoy the game. Pointing fingers at the players, expecting us to go out of our way to level a new class/job we don't enjoy, does nothing to further the discussion of this issue. I'm sorry you have failed to understand other points of view on this topic, OP, but your post is quite childish.

I frequently get queue times of 60-75 minutes, any time I try to get a DPS class I'm leveling into a dungeon. That's not something I consider acceptable, and it makes it very discouraging to even want to play other classes besides my main (healer). Just think about what this must be like for new players, leveling their first character, who need these dungeons for their main story quests. And consider that DPS queues have been a major problem in the MMORPG genre for many years, and SE's method of addressing this issue was to design "Light Parties" which require fewer DPS. Don't act like people aren't justified in expressing frustration about this.

1) yes the op's post is childish.

2) The breakdown of role is aprox. 23% tanks/ 25% healers/ 52% DPS

What this means is that 1 tank +1 healer +2 DPS should = everyone gets a run. However, most of these numbers are from what people main and that means that this breakdown applies to end game and any roulettes they run. The problem with this is that a single new DPS was released that all of those players with multiple 50s want to level this now instead of playing their main and that of course = enhanced DPS wait time.

The number of people that want to play a tank/healer wont go up just because there are more tank/healer classes than DPS it would just mean more variety in tank/healer class. What would help the DPS wait time is releasing any new DPS with a set of tank and healer jobs as well. Thus giving those who want to play a new "fresh" class the chance to do so without throwing the lower level ratio completely out of whack.
