... and answers being repeated over and over again. Hope everyone gets it.

Case closed. lol

The worst part is...the OP never bothered to respond or chime in the dicussion...that alone is what I would have considered a waste of my time...but people like to get into heated conversations for no reason I guess <.<

I just like tanking more than DPs & I enjoy instant queues, that's it.^^

I have found two ways to deal with this issue.

1) Get busy doing something else.. is not like you just sit down and wait.
2) When I am in a hurry I try to stick around the are near the entrance of the dungeon and just call in the General chat requesting people (not spamming I only send a message once every 5 - 10 minutes) this has got me a good response from nearby players usually decreasing my queue from from 1.5 to 2 h to just 30 min.

At lvl 50 most players shout for group or use FC . I myself use Derp Finder when Im learning new content so I can Derp and not worry about my rep .

Once I feel ive mastered the content then I show my skills and amaze my FC friends how great I am when they don't realise Ive murdered about 1000 DF players to master the dungeon hehe

You want to do Boom boom much then you need to wait long

1 - tanks get insta ques, because game design makes tanking harder - they just plain get all the responsibility. Not enough people want to tank. Healer ques arent super fast during leveling.

2 - flexible party sizes based on what's in the que could be a solution. Lets say the ratio of tank to healers to dps is 1:1:3 they could let parties be bigger and buff mobs accordingly. I don't see any rason they couldn't let parties have 1 or 2 more members, and base the composition on who is registered in df. If tanks suddenly became super popular you could have a 3 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps party The problem with this, is it would probably make tanking LESS popular

You know i just became a archer on another server and have noticed that most dungeons so far may wait times average 45 minutes or more.
Rather crazy indeed, so i just go level up while i wait. lol

dont' agree here. I play paladin and dont' think the class hard compared to what I hear about monks. Warriors kind of suck prepatch, post patch we'll see more tanks coming since warriors got big buff. Have only 1 viable tank jobs vs 5 viable dps jobs gonna hurt Q times.

In new patch, roles in short suppply will get bigger bonuses = tanks get more rewards than dps which is necessary. I'm scratching my head on why they allowed 1 bonus/24h/category. FATE grinding is unlimited. DF rewards shouldn't be so hardcapped.

Give lancer a tank job and I'd be all over tanking. Sword and board is boring, axes are goofy, polearms are where it's at. I love to tank but refuse to use a fighting style/weapon I don't find entertaining, so I picked a DPS class. Here's to hoping we get a lancer tank job sooner rather than later.

I imagine I'm not the only person who feels like this either.

For endgame there are several options you have:

1. Go somewhere (typically Mor Dhona) and look for a group (or even start one). I assume this will be even easier with the new DF and Party features released now. (I suggest you queue whilst doing this, just in case you get lucky and the instance pops).
2. Take up crafting, gathering or leveling an alt during DF waits.
3. Farm a crafting material, or materia.
4. Join a linkshell or join a FC and most likely you can arrange a run (multiple linkshells are awesome for this - I'm currently in 4 and was in 7).
5. Socialize - MMO's are social in nature, have a chat, help out a friend, just be an idiot and do something random.

For story based dungeons:

If you are experiencing long waits for a story instance then get out there and do some side quests, immerse yourself in the lore - it can only help to enhance the story you are currently in - and can also help you level/gain experience before the instance.

Alternatively you can do one of the things I mentioned for endgame.
