30 min to 1 hour Tank queues for Void Ark

[Vlady]

Nah. Huge imbalances between dps and tank/healers now. All three healers and tanks minus paladin are easily the most played jobs now. Did a random search for white mages level by level after forty and easily dar the job out number every other job minus bard

As someone who mains tank but knows the plight of DPS queues, I'm hoping tanks start getting lumbered with 48 hour queues. Let the tanks feel the pain of those god-awful queue times. Might also help teach a bit of humility.

Blasphemy I say! I am a tank, I shouldn't have to wait more than five seconds! I am not some dps peasant that should have to wait on queues! :P

[Kotemon]

So I'm not the only one. Considering there's only 1 tank per party, it looks like a good time to test that exp adjustment by leveling a DPS ten levels to sixty.

[silentwindfr]

well 3 tank, 6 healer and 15 dps are needed then that quite normal that tank queue is long.

Tanks are finally feeling our pain

I dislike the way they do it. It is like they gave up on having an appropriate ratio of tank/dps/healer in the game. There are a number of ways to fix it.

1. Adventure in need be a bigger bonus (tomestones?)
2. Create feedback loops for DPS to realize when they are failing. Right now DPS is the haven for the people who don't want others to realize they are bad. Tanks know they are bad if they can't maintain hate. Healers know they are bad if they can't heal tank. DPS know they are better... when dungeons are a little slower? Put some DPS checks in earlier in the game and divide the party so the DPS in question (and others) will know if they are doing their job poorly.
3. Create more drops for tanks (again incentive to play the tank class)
4. Special mounts for completing x number of raids/dungeons with adventure in need bonus.

They've tried that, tanks and healers just get told to do more DPS. They need to put buffs on the monsters that means they're immune to ALL damage from tanks (GLA/PLD/MRD/WAR/DRK, yes I've included the base classes to avoid the playerbase saying "Do this as your base class") as well as healers (CNJ/WHM/ACN/SCH/AST, included ACN to avoid SCHs being told to queue as their DPS base class to ensure they can do damage). That combined with strict DPS checks will mean the DPS cannot blame the healers or tanks for lack of DPS.

Actually..not even DPS should have to wait on queues.

There's no need to make fun or being spiteful of each role that deals with longer queue times. In all cases it sucks.
