realistic Q times

It's called average for a reason.

Go level a tank or healer.

"Level a tank" is not the solution to all problems with DF queues. Though, heck, at least you aren't trying to tell someone to level a tank to get their DD Relic quest done. . .

It's called average for a reason.

But it's not the average queue for the role. If the average queue for, say, a BRD, is 50 minutes but tanks and healers are getting in in five seconds, it's useless to tell me that the "average" is 20 minutes. Not only useless, but also somewhat misleading unless you take the effort to realize that the average is nowhere near what you should be expecting.

Except it already does exactly what the OP is suggesting. If I queue as a tank, it says the average wait time is "less than 5 minutes". If I queue as healer, it says "less than 5 seconds" (and then I get an instant pop). If I queue DPS, depending on the number of people queued it will tell me an exact number (usually around 25 minutes) or it'll say "greater than 30 minutes" because the wait time will never show a number greater than 30. In my experience queuing as DPS for stuff like the Expert roulette, the average wait time is actually pretty close to accurate.

However, for dungeons people don't do in the Duty Finder as often (and Titan EX is probably one of them, people know better than that) the average wait time will naturally not be very accurate simply because the "sample size" is smaller and spread out over a longer time period. There isn't really much of a way to avoid this.

Go level a tank to get your DD relic done.
