this.

Yoshida already said it, the DF estimate the time you have to wait by how long it took to the last person that tagged with the same job as you to enter. In that case let's say a scholar entered the FL and a party was not full so after 1min of wait till everyone accept, plus 2 minutes inside until the DF start to fill hole in teams when the game actually start (wich is stupid), then you can easily see how the bard had to wait 3 min more to get in.

There's no class search here, it isn't that uncommon to enter game without any tank or healer.
