60m+ queue times

[Rekujen]

When you gonna sort this out? how is this acceptable?

"you are dps"

is not an excuse, the moment you changed server structure the queue times were destroyed, widen the search to more servers, this is pathetic.

Actually, I saw my queue times drop to <5min for high level roulette as dps after the data center changes versus 30-40min queue for WP or AK pre 2.1.

What are you queueing for?

I also get into most dungeons a lot easier. I used to take 20-30 minutes to get into WP on my BLM, now it barely takes 15 minutes. I get into HM primals instantly, too, whereas before it took about 5-10 minutes.

The only dungeons I have a hard time getting into are Brayflox's Longstop, The Stone Vigil and Dzemael Darkhold. Even as a healer it takes forever to get into these because the Low Level Roulette doesn't seem to put many people in anything above Haukke Manor (in my experience).

Roulette will always be faster because you have more than 1 option. When you queue for 1 specific dungeon then you get to wait A LOT.

Just stop a minute and really think about it. Its not that hard. There are a ton more dps classes compared to tanks and healers. Really, what the hell do you expect. Its simple logic.

8 Classes 9 Jobs
2 TANK Classes
2 TANK Jobs
1 HEAL Class
2 HEAL Jobs
5 DPS Classes
5 DPS Jobs

4 tanks, 3 heals, 10 dps

Yes, I think with less than 1/2 the rolls being the tanks/heals that it is obvious there would be this imbalance of queue times

Selected dungeons and guildhests seem to take much longer. My guess is that it's down to the roulette feature. The roulette seems to favour a select few so that depletes the pool for those dungeons not on the roulette rotation.

Changing the server structure back to what it was before will not really solve the actual problem. The aren't enough tanks and/or healers queuing up in the Duty Finder to match the amount of DPS in the queue. FFXIV isn't the only game with a group finder feature like this. WoW for instance has the the same issue. It's just that players prefer to play DPS classes instead of healing or tanking.

Widening the search will most likely increase the queue time even more, due to the possible increase of DPS players.

The introduction of the roulette with the class bonus is a step in the right direction, but unless more people queue up as a tank or healer, the problem will never "go away".
