Incentives to NOT queue as DPS

[Rhysati]

Meaning we drive up queue times for anyone that doesn't want to participate in this "good noodle system?" The problem with you idea, while coming from good intentions, is it just further drives up queue times for people who play DPS and gives the same instant queue to tanks and healers this is not a solution.

But it would lower queue times, not increase them. If someone queues up as a tank in order to get the bonus as DPS, they are then getting 2 more dps through the queue. Then when they do their DPS queue, they skip the line which slows down 1 dps. A net gain of 1 dps has queued faster than before for every DPS that now queues as a tank to get faster queues. If a dps doesn't want to participate they don't have to, but isn't that their problem in the first place? You can complain about high queue times all you want, but if you aren't willing to play either of the roles that are needed, well...tough cookies.

Except that there's the chance both DPS players were tanks just before...which actually just pushes 2 DPS players back even further into the queue, and gives 2 'tank' players an extra dungeon

Net gain of 0 if you consider the healer is also getting an instant queue for their next DPS run.
