    Honestly at times theres not enough DPS. My best friend and I play as a tank/healer combo, and even we have had to wait for ques. It took us 15 minutes to get into Aurum Vale...

    It took me 30 minutes and counting to queue for Aurum Vale, with a party of 1 tank (me), and 2 DPS. At least you were able to enter...

    Granted, this was about 4 weeks ago though. I assume it'd be easier to find an Aurum Vale party now because it's now a requirement for ranking up in GC.

    Also, to those who tell DPS to roll tanks/healers instead...I mained a tank all the way up to 50, and I am just able to enter Coil. Now if I want to roll a DPS, and I want to go to dungeons, so that I can learn to play my class, what do you suggest I do? As a DPS I can't get around the queue times. But I obviously want to play a different role than tanking, because that's all I have done up to now. Are you saying I am shoehorned into tanking/healing if I want to go into dungeons? It's bloody ridiculous.

    Fact is very much that there's an overpopulation of DPS players compared to tanks/healers - simply, there's 5 different variants of DPS classes at end game, compared to a combined total of 4 classes for tanks and healers. Just look at the number of non-Bard DPS players who are looking for a permanent Coil party. Look at the number of melee DPS who are geared but unable to find a Coil party.

    Sorry every DPS is scrubby, but did you even help them to learn the dungeons? As a tank, I try to guide my DPS step by step. What are you doing for the community? I sure as hell am going to be a scrubby Black Mage if I don't go for some dungeons every now and then, to try and learn my role, but each learning experience is a 75 minutes wait for me.

    I found the best way to play DPS, it to .... grind to level 50. And play with your FC/LS(s). Playing dungeons from level 30 a few times on the way again with your FC/LS(s).
    Depending of DF is really unreliable And you are in for some long long long waiting times sir/mdm.
