Easy, considering we got 3 in Heavensward, but if it was too much, why repeat that and have issues?

    I'll take 2 jobs done and balanced well over 3 just to satisfy numbers.

    Of course I can only imagine the fallout that would ensue in the event that RDM and SAM aren't well-balanced...

    But having only 2 and both being DPS when we already know dps IS the queue problem is as disappointing as not having 3.

    I watched the US fan fest and I don't remember him mentioning that. Let's expect 5.0 and the the new excuse that two are "too much" as well and they'll implement half a job in 6.x :P

    What he mentionned is that, between ARR and HW, the tank/healer/DPS population didn't change much. So, basically, regardless of the number of jobs, you'll still end with roughly the same number of players for each role, and thus, queue time will motly stay the same.
