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

    Here's the thing, there ARE players that use the quick queue times (due to lack of numbers for that role, allowing them to hold the group to ransom). Those players NEED to learn a bit of humility and learn that just because they're playing a role that isn't as popular, they're not some special snowflake. If I come across as being spiteful because of wanting that then I'm glad I'm spiteful for wanting those that abuse quick queue times to hold groups to hostage to learn some humility.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    So, like many others, you are combing over all of them with the same brush just because a few of them might have gain a benefit of it in the past.
    "Now you have to feel how it is to walk a mile in my shoes, tanks!"
    Gotcha.

    Gotcha.
    Given I main tank, yes, I do believe that. And yes, because I main tank, I do usually get insta queues (which I don't think are fair tbh, but I prefer tanking and healing to being a damage dealer, I enjoy the reactive nature of those roles more). Yes, I do believe I should be forced to wait like all the damage dealers have to. And since people (I.E. like our government) seem to love punishing the majority for the minority abusing it, as do a lot of companies, why is it any different here?

    If this makes me someone who you believe should die in the most brutal way possible, so be it. I stand firmly by my beliefs here.

    Oh and for the record, there's no point trying to sully my reputation on Odin, it's already completely and utterly obliterated through incidents in-game. My reputation on there is already completely FUBAR. I'm hated more on the server than gil-sellers, and that's saying something!

    If it makes you feel any better, there are a lot of players like me who don't have deep connections and knowledge about "commonly hated" players. Feel free to add my Odin character if you'd like to hang out at any point.

    As for the thread topic, I can't say I'm surprised about the queue times. Player roles tend to fluctuate based on demand. So far all expansion content has been 1-1-2 or 2-2-4 ratio of roles. It should even out soon.
