    Hypothesis: The groups cutting in line are getting factored into the "average wait time" which is why the averages are so inaccurate. Plus, they're delaying the solo players.
    I think you're failing to understand how it works, parties that go in (almost) premade aren't delaying the solo players, they're helping a solo player get in. They grouped as a party, the game isn't going to split them up to meet your needs, so what does it do? It puts them in their own party, and grabs a tank/healer/dps into that party with them, instead of having that solo player wait around for their party to fill from scratch.

    The issues everyone is reporting in the duty finder with roulettes has so far ONLY applies to people queuing solo, though. I've yet to see anyone reporting the 2+ hour times have more than just themselves in the queue, regardless of their jobs. 2 DPS get into Void Ark in 4 minutes. A tank, a healer, and a DPS get into Void Ark in 1 minute. A healer alone waits an hour.

    Tried several times to queue as tank, 2 healers and 3+ dps but haven't had a pop yet.
