    It'd be nice if they create new dungeons that have more varied party set-ups like 1 Tank, 3/4 DPS, 1 Healer. If they designed new ones around those set-ups, they wouldn't have to re-balance the older ones.

    They just need to fix the low-level duty roulette to hit more instances. It's ridiculous that 4 people L35+ are put into a L16 instance. Duty roulette filling priority should be based around the dungeons that people have specifically queued for. If there are no more queues for a specific dungeons have been and there is a tank/2dps/heal group left over, group those four into the highest level dungeon available for the lowest level player in the group. I really hope to see this come 2.2.

    Party finder is another option, but it doesn't give the bonuses that the duty roulette provides, making it a non-attractive option. Make duty roulette work across all instances, and this problem will work itself out more.

    Remember, if you're queueing alone, priority will go to the dps that queued with a tank/healer. If people are smart/have friends, you'd need to rely on tanks and healers solo queueing as well.

    Even as a dps, I rarely get queue times longer than 20 minutes.

    This is a problem that SE has to continue to improve. What seems to help me when I go as DPS is queue in multiple languages.

    If you are lucky to be on during NA prime time when trying for CT maybe, but even with join in progress and all languages ticked, if I'm just outside of NA primetime, my que times as a DPS are in excess of 45+ minutes at best. Sometimes, I might get lucky and get in before the 30minute mark, but usually its not very often.

    I don't see how "you are a dps" is an excuse, sure 20 minutes is acceptable but last night I waited 92 minutes for a CT... yes, 92 minutes... and you think this is perfectly fine?

    WoW doesn't have this problem because unlike FFXIV, WoW multi-realm queuing puts every server together, not certain groups. DPS average wait time in WoW is 10-20 minutes, where as FFXIV you're looking at 40-80 minutes.

    Doesn't matter if there's less DPS, it shouldn't take 90 minutes to get into a dungeon... this happened because they moved servers into different groups to ease the stress on duty finder, I know for a fact that queue times on Primal (Behemoth) are ridiculously long for DPS, most of my FC see queue times of 50-60+

    Using your exaggerated number of minutes (90 in this case), it just goes to show how many DD there are compared to tanks and healers. The queue uses a first come, first serve mechanic, and the only way to 'cut in line' so to speak is to queue with a tank and/or healer. If it takes you Two minutes to get into queue, the roles in queue are proportionate to setups (1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DD). If it takes you '90 minutes' to get into a dungeon, that means that there are far greater amounts of DD waiting in this line for tanks and healers to show up in queue.

    If this really doesn't click, you might want to assess your logical thinking skills.

    CT is not in the duty roulette, so it can take over an hour for a dps to get in solo, my longest wait was 70 minutes.

    I'm on Behemoth and I have no idea what you're talking about. I have never had an hour long solo queue.
