An idea to help roulette queue times

[winsock]

So you accomplish getting tank players out of the dps queue sooner but long term fail to keep tank players in the tank queue.

Good feedback, and definitely true. Even though this would more than double the lifespan of existing tanks, eventually, these tanks will stop tanking low level.

There is 1 permanent and lasting advantage here though:
Currently, tanks lose incentive to tank low level after maxing their tanks. They then queue as dps, which increases the queue time for dps classes. With the proposed feature, they lose their incentive to tank at low level at the same time they lose their incentive to queue as dps at low level, which will have a lasting and positive impact on dps queue times.

Not really.

Fewer and fewer tanks in the queue as the expansion drags on isn't ever going to be positive for dps queue times. And it's further compounded when you consider you'll have groups of tank players tanking for each other with your "I played a tank priority dps queue" leaving dps that don't tank in the dust early in the expansion.

IF they let XP to an alt job be an incentive, it'd be better as a token to be redeemed and have nothing to do with the queues.
