    Well that won't be an issue. It'd be just like how DF is now, except it would include different jobs, and it would just keep cycling through until it found a match. "Any Halatali SM need a DRG? Nope. Let's see if Haukke Manor HM needs a BRD. Nope. Shiva HM need a WHM? Yup! *pops*". No different than how it is now, just a more complex way of searching.

    Probably why they haven't done it yet.
    Duty Finder/Party search/Dungeon Finder/Happy Smile Fun Time Finder queues are ubiquitous in MMOs and I'm betting a lot of programmers trade notes on how to do it, but FFXIV is rather unique in that it has the ability to swap jobs on the fly. Thus, the layer of complexity involved is...palpable.
    For all we know they could be working on it, but having to whip out fresh, delicious code for it probably takes a lot of time in the proverbial kitchen.
    Look forward to it? Maybe?

    Considering that the game feels like double dipping classes at times (had a T7 queue with 2 WARs, 2 SCHs and 4 NINs....), I don't see how this would lead to any difference
