Mindblowingly new-old idea-question that would reduce queue times for DD's

[zdub303]

To everyone who thinks that no one wants to play tank you're very wrong. I really enjoy playing a tank in MMOs and there are a lot of people like me.

If you increase the party size to 1:1:100 just for example. Tanks would almost never be able to play. You would need like... 10 tanks online per server at any one time. At that point you would actually have people who would rather tank play dps instead just so they could get a slot.

So we know there is a ratio out there of people who wish to play tanks, play healers, and play dps. A good game designer would try to design his content such that party sizes emulate that ratio as close as he can.

Whatever you wanna say, 1:1:2 is just silly... period. We know for a fact that less than 25% of the population in an MMO want to tank. However... how many of you guys able to instantly find a shout group for titan? I know in RT on Coeurl, you can almost never find a tank spot for a shout group on titan, so 1:2:5 is getting closer to that ratio.

We know there are more healers than tanks out there as well, and if we could see how many DPS and Healers are in queue for any specific dungeon we could probably give a more accurate estimate (also have to consider that a lot of tanks like myself don't use the DF). Generally from past MMO experience the ratio is more like 1 Tank to 1.5-2 Healers to 5-6 DPS. DF usage is probably more like 1 : 2 : (8-10) given that many Tanks and Healers can find groups without the use of the DF.

So maybe the solution is for SE to continue forward making content that is like titan and do a full party setup with 1:2:5 instead of 2:2:5 and give melee DPS more tools to off tank adds.
