Can we delete Seraph, Dissipation, Excog and Sacred Soil? Some ideas on top of it...

And when healers become more complex and the supply dries up because liw skill folks can't play them for whatever reason, and move on to dos while everyone cries trying to level alt jobs and there's no healers.

Already has dried up.maybe not completely but noticeable.

2.0 3.0 4.0 AIN was nearly always tanks. Occasionally healers, and once a while dps..

5.0 6.0 AIN is very frequently healers, sometimes tanks, and still once in a while dps..

I still play my scholar but mostly down to efficiency d limited ay time. If i only have 90 minutes I'll play whatever gets into content faster.

AIN is an iffy metric seemingly because of how it’s calculated. I don’t see healer as the role in need very often tbh, yet it has no bearing on my queue time as it’s almost always instant regardless.

I don't want to seem like a conspiracy theorist but I'm almost positive it's manipulated. I've been leveling my tanks because all of my healers have been at 90 for a long time now, and anytime I queue for something that says Tank in Need I'm waiting 5-8 minutes, but when I swap to SCH it is almost always immediate.

It probably has something to do with priority order.

The current interface only allows 1 from 3 icon to be shown at any given time. If I want to make a wild guess, their current priority is T > H > D. Which means, should both T and H are needed, only T will be shown until next update.

But I'm no programmer or skilled in coding whatsoever Speculating is all I can do. I do know I'm not alone in experiencing this though.

Pretty much my guess as well. This was a system that was added in when Tanks were in super short order whilst healers and DPS were plentiful and I'd imagine the way it's setup reflects that.

It probably has something to do with priority order.

Or it could just look at the number of each role in the given queue relative to their slots at a very particular interval (which may soon happen not to be particularly representative, especially if/when people adjust their behavior based on the rewards then promised).

/shrug

In either case, it has no ways of denoting a difference between one role having 99% size of the next most presently populous (relative to slots) role and having only 1% that size.
