Please do something about duty finder queues...

When you know that's how every party is made, don't check party finder, and/or don't bother to form your own? Yes, that's completely acceptable.

i still need to do daily roulette.

i can't do that on PF.

The point which seems to have completely flown over your head is that the DF is there to facilitate parties for all roles. The fact you claim DD jobs will never get a party using DF would seem to indicate the current system is utterly broken and unfit for purpose.

People in here saying things like "just roll a tank" are being ridiculous; if you already have your tanks leveled and BiS you naturally move on to new jobs. The first 2 jobs I got to 50 were Warrior and Paladin. I just leveled bard to 50 and it was impossible to find a duty in less than an hour, I had to make people on my friend's list level up tank jobs so I could duty finder with them. The problem is that there are too few tank and healer classes and too many DPS classes. Of course most players will take easy mode and roll only DPS, so naturally you should make more tank/healer roles to entice people to play them. Waiting for an expansion/2.3 to add these new jobs is just going to drive more players away from the game in the interim period.

Yes. It's meant to facilitate parties for all roles and it's working just as intended. It isn't the system's fault that players aren't playing as much tanks.

Then they need to adjust their encounter design to compensate for the ever present lag that is making tanking for many people unenjoyable, frustrating, or borderline impossible. My first job to 50 was a Paladin and I shelved it to level Monk. Not because I wanted an easy ride, simply because due to the current game design I was feeling like an idiot because despite moving out of AoEs I was still being hit by them. Tanking simply is not fun in this game for that reason and no amount of new roles will change that.

This is my healer queue recently. However there is a bug - notice the "Average Wait Time" is blank, I was told by a FC mate, this indicator of glitch in the ques. He told me to re-queue duty finder and it would work, and it did. Only waited 2 minutes after I left duty finder and reapplied.

make friends, make a tank, make a healer. i have a relic job for every role just so that i can go where ever im needed. its a sad sad day when i have to queue for something alone. and if that happens to be the case you can bet your ass ill be queuing as a tank. become part of the solution instead of just bitching about the problem

Maybe it's time to add more tank/healer jobs to the game. Key word is jobs not classes.

That actually doesn't alleviate anything since if someone doesn't want to level a tank now they're pretty much not going to level a new one. And you'd need a new class, not a new job. If they add a new tanking JOB for a class you have at 50 then there's no leveling involved and still no new tanks. It has to be a new tanking class so that they are leveling the course of 1-50.

+1 for doing something to lessen these que times. I have given up even looking at the estimated times. (Currently rolling as a Bard with War/Pld already at 50). On a positive spin, I get more homework done in between dungeons now...

For those saying "just roll as a tank"... how the hell would that help someone who is trying to play as a dps/healer?! If they wanted to play a tank, don't you think they would be? I complain about the que times while as a Bard because I want to play as a bard when the que is up!
