now that i ran out of tanks and healers to level...

[HyoMinPark]

I can't really speak for your Data Center, but for Aether, DPS queues aren't that terrible. I'm usually in them 20 minutes max during peak hours whenever I'm rolling a DPS job. I just use the queue time to either craft or work on school work. You've had the luxury of tank/healer queues up until now; now it's time to sit in queues with the other DPS unless you have friends that want to level a tank or healer with you.

As for 4.1, no SB PotD equivalent has yet been announced (in general; there will not be one for 4.1--probably earliest would be 4.2 or 4.3, if not a small "half patch"), and only one beast tribe has been announced so far (to my knowledge): the Kojin.

The only roulette I find to be long waits is the 50/60 one. But even then, I do my hunts while I wait for it to pop because 100k+ EXP for killing a few monsters? Sure! Seals to put towards Materia VI, clan logs, or mount speed(HW)? Bonus! Plus, it helps to level my Chocobo through doing that too.

Kojin gonna be DoW/DoM or DoH beast tribe?

You already reaped the benefits of playing healers and tanks by getting faster queues and more rewards. That does not entitle you to faster DPS queues.

just taking another jab at the fact that SE still can't fix the issue.

tank/healer/DPS jobs ratio = 3:3:9 (1:1:3) but duty job ratio is 1:1:2 (with the exception of 24man raid which has nothing to do with leveling)
quene time ratio = 0(instant):0~5:5~40+ mins. that is just so wrong.

I do everything on tank/healer. only play DPS because my friends wants to play tank and healer.
leveling DPS because I like to do DoW/DoM stuffs rather than DoH DoL (just finished my DoH to Lv60... will get to DoL some day...)

EXP return is better on daily roulette bonus =d
have 170 clusters... not in dire need for more.. (... just notice I capped cen. seal)
100% mount speed completion (came into SB with 3k+ allied seal so it was more or less a done deal on day one.)
chocobo at rank 20 (fed this sucker hourly/daily for months at the stable)
also got my self anime and zodiac .. crafted myself a set of mini airship... a set of mini-statues...

just say that I been keeping myself occupied.

I'm not saying that the hunts are better than the roulette EXP, but rather than sitting and waiting while doing nothing(which I know some people do, maybe not you, but some) to do the hunts as those are additional EXP that does add up. Especially to get from 60-61 so you can start the SB dungeons quite rapidly without touching Palace of the Snooze.

yeaaaaah... i know what you mean.. exp is exp.. .but it's kinda like FATE (did FATEs in the 2.0 era to get all jobs to Lv50 prior toexp adjustment) ... I did allied clan logs until I got sick of it and simply can't do more... orz

What's this got to do with anything? The tank/healer/DPS job ratio could be 2853:2:1, and you'd STILL not have enough tanks in queue, with thousands of people all playing that one DPS job and a handful of others to cover the two healers and two-thousand-plus tank jobs.

Tanks aren't in short supply because there are fewer tank jobs. They're in short supply because very few people enjoy tanking.

The 1:1:2 duty job ratio, on the other hand, could be improved with the addition of an additional DPS. I doubt that would be easy to implement, however.

it has everything to do with it? i don't mind playing any job so i'll gravitate towards the jobs with faster queues. if there are 2853 jobs i would be leveling tanks all the way to the next expansion till the next level cap goes up.

when the people that actually enjoy tanking and healing run out of options, they stop leveling completely or they are forced to level DPS jobs which slows down queues for other people who just want to level DPS jobs.

That is you though. If there were 5 tank jobs, I would hard pressed to level all 5 tank jobs. I forced myself to level DRK to 70, hoping it would get better in my eyes... it didn't.

As stated beforehand, it doesn’t matter if there is an abundance of Tank jobs/classes that can be leveled, the issue is the number of players willing to level tank jobs/classes.

Also, it doesn’t matter what Tank mains do once they have level capped their Tank jobs when it comes to DR DPS queues. Those queues will always be long. Me not logging on to level the last six combined levels to cap between WAR and PLD is “driving up” DPS queues times.

you are literally arguing with yourself.

"the issue is the number of players willing to level tank jobs/classes" - yes this is the issue, one that can't be fixed. and this number constantly decreases as those players finishing leveling.

"it doesn’t matter if there is an abundance of Tank jobs/classes that can be leveled" - so this absolutely matters because it recirculates those same players. it certainly won't recirculate everyone but it's better than recirculating none of them.

Kojin gonna be DoW/DoM or DoH beast tribe?

Battle dailies if it is like during 2.x and 3.x
