    And now for something less snarky.

    In which timezone do you live and at which times do you play?
    Apart from that, are you queueing for specific dungeons or are you experiencing long waiting times on Duty roulette as well?
    Never mind, this was answered in the opening post.

    I personally play on European prime time (6PM -> 10PM GMT) and I play DPS only, my waiting times on roulette queues rarely exceed 5 minutes at those times.
    If you experience long waiting times around your playtimes and aren't bound by a Linkshell or Free company or real life friends playing on that server you may want to consider moving to a server on a datacenter with more players that play at the times you play at.

    Other then that, you may indeed want to ask your Linkshell/FC members for help on those you still need.

    I also play in european timezones, and doing roulette I rarely have times longer than 5 minutes. Doing specific dungeons takes a maximum of 15 minutes, and that's not a big deal.

    The only problem I had was with Chimera, which took more than an hour.

    seems the most obvious question hasn't been asked.

    Ever since 2.2 we can see the average wait time for melee and ranged dps separately. If I am on drg, or mnk I always have an average wait time of under 6 min and rarely wait more then 3-4. If switch to blm, brd, or smn they have a 15-22 min average wait time and usually wait 30+ min for a dungeon. This is the number one reason people ussualy have long waits, they don't realize that ranged DPS get hard core raped by the way df prioritizes/sets up party.
