Not to sound rude but...

You should provide a long term reason why SAM may affect queues in the long term for Max Level/Endgame which is where the Tank Job will be truely tested.

The queue time for content considered old and only used for Leveling are not something a lot of people take seriously when they play as a Tank Job from my experience with players who only are playing a Tank Job for the sake of leveling it and then dropping them at max level or just testing out the Job before they decide to stay with it for Max Level Content. The only real benefit for shorter old content queues is mostly just for leveling a class/job faster that is a DPS class/Job.

There is also the question of what will deem SAM a successful Tank Job because what I deem a successful Tank Job is not simply by attracting new players into the Tank Job role but also if a decent amount of players actually stay and play as SAM. The last thing we need is SAM to become the Machinist of Tank Jobs where only the Vanity of using a Katana and SAM armor is keeping players playing as SAM while the Majority abandons SAM for the other older Tank Jobs because their gameplay is the same but depends less on a slight issue with their gameplay such as how Machinist is considered a RNG depended Bard.
