Let's help the DPS queues

[Solica]

Whenever I play on my DRK (61, just slow going) I always put up a PF with the roulette or dungeon I plan, fills up quite quickly if none of my FC is interested. I can't really see charging for anything but then again I wouldn't say no if someone came up to me and offered to pay me to run them, think what leaves the bad taste to me is those demanding huge sums, 150k for 1 run? Yeesh, if I was going to charge would be like 20k or so.

On ragnarok, the majority demands 500k +- .

Don't you think it is a bit disgraceful, that you would charge people to help them out?

Don't you think it's a bit disgraceful that crafters would make money off the gear they make?

That statement is rubbish.
So you blame crafters to make money on the back of players ? In a way you're right, there are a lot of crafters that control the economy of their worlds but it's not the topic, crafters pay for materials, craft and sell their items. That's the basic gameplay loop.

You can't ask people money to help them. I never understood all those teams to clear content.
Here it's even worse you're using the current servers issue to get some more money... well whatever.

As I see some people selling items to a cheap price to get rid off those griddy crafters, I hope there will be some players helping people for free just to stop people like you.

No one's blaming crafters. I'm trying to point out that if crafters can make money with their class, why can't tanks do the same? And FYI, I've never charged for runs, but I support the practice.

I don't see the problem with tanks offering to sell faster queues. If someone's willing to pay for it more power to the both of them.

After sitting in an ex roulette queue for over an hour tonight, even I'd be willing to consider paying a tank. I just want to be able to actually play the job I enjoy playing. If I have to pay for it.. so be it.

Returning tank on Siren(Aether Data Center) here. My drk, war, and pld are 62, 61, and 60 respectively. I be happy to run with anyone for no charge. However, since I just returned, havent played since 3.3, only doing small to medium size pulls till comfortable again. Also, I do not have expert rolutte unlocked yet so cannot help there.

Since SAM and RDM got announced we knew that DPS queues would be bad, and as predicted they are. I am a tank and have found myself having instant queues and I have been using this to help my fellow DPS friends through content.

I wanted to make this thread for people to pledge their support, for tanks and healers to offer themselves as available to queue up with newly made friends rather than using the DF, and for DPS to find people on their world that they can queue up with in order to progress more easily .

As a community we can help this problem until it gets ironed out over time.

The problem is as a tank main Im always willing to tank for someone any dungeon all the time but I dont exactly receive the same treatment in return. I even had the idea of traded runs I tank one friend tanks the next but also alot of tanks may have only leveled their tanks in potd its just more complicated than Id like but it is what it is.

[NinefoldRakshasa]

Let's not, because of the people claiming that 2 of the 3 tank jobs being ruined is ok, you all get to suffer.
Enjoy!

If they don't like the queues, how about they just roll tank or healer? I know I won't be tanking for them.

as much as I'd like to agree to that suggestion i just cant, theres a lot of tanks i noticed before stormblood came out who are just....... crap, wouldnt surprise me if they didnt learn it off of others too. If they have previous experience and can tank properly it would be great but otherwise it might be more of a hindrance.

Ugh, I have the same problem.

I like to run dungeons and trials a lot and I like to help, but it's so frustrating when I run 10 dungeons a day to help people with their DPS jobs or their alts, but when I need help with something they go all Mariah Carey on me. xD

But anyways, if somebody needs a 310 healer in Hyperion, let me know and I'll be happy to help... if a little bit bitter when the inevitable betrayal happens and you refuse to help me in return. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, if you're in the same data centre, we may find a way to coordinate something so we can run together through the PF.

My friend, you're in Hyperion!

I get online every day after 8:00 p.m. CDT. Sendt me a tell or a friend request and I'll be happy to help with dungeons or roulettes!
