SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

[EdwinLi]

I'm guessing you don't remember DF when 3.0 launched. It was nearly impossible for tanks to queue, and DPS had the easiest time for awhile.

As stated before what happened in 3.0 was a very short period of increase. A lot of people wanted to try out Dark Knight and speed level the Job to lvl 50. However, that only lasted around 1 month and after that the queue returned to the usual tank instant queue and DPS longer queue.

We are talking about long term increase in Tank population which involves keeping players playing a Tank Job longer than a 1 month period. Even if they decide to add 2 Tank Jobs per expansion or something if the player base of Tank players does not stay higher than it originally started before the release of those New Tank jobs longer than 3 or 4 months then it will not be considered a significant increase in Tank population for long terms.

On topic:
As fun as this discussion been Yoshi-P plan to only release 2 jobs per expansion now, as stated back in 3.0 interviews, will certainly put a bit of a higher standard than currently. However, this will certainly make or break FF14 if the reduction to 2 new jobs per expansion doesn't end up producing enjoyable New Jobs.
