Perfect Tank/Healer Shortage solution

[Shodori]

You wouldn't be treated as level 50 you would be treated as the same as the class your leveling..

THINK OF just becoming the same level as your class your trying to level.. BUT YOUR A TANK or HEALER NO EXP BONUS.. No nothing.. your just earning exp for one class under a different class..

Quit trying to skew the straight foward idea with all this nonsense.

you're*

first, if i levelled tank to 50 in a matter of days, thanks to no queue times, its not going to be any different for any class, did the same thing with my WHM. it took me a week and 2 days to get my BLM to 50, because of work and the little time i have to play, and most of it being wasted in queue, worked on gatherer while waiting(lv 50 btn, 21min, and 26 fisher).

second, they wont take away the +50% exp per kill, because that is something you earned for getting to lv 50 with any class

so, before you want to accuse me of trying to "skew" anything, why dont you just accept the fact that what you have proposed has very basic flaws, and stop acting like im trying to troll you.

If you want to queue up a billion times thats fine.. guess what you aren't getting squat in a roulette as a tank for joining the level 10 Roulettes without the daily bonus..

You would still be restricted by the level of your class you are leveling you wouldn't be able to Queue for it. It would basicly say oh you want to level your 22 archer... you can become a 22 tank instead again and level it. Not stay 50 or get unreaslitic experience gains by doing level 50 content applying it to a level 20.

I already run into lvl50 players that don't know how to play their class. Allowing people to level up DPS without even playing it is a terrible idea. I encounter enough subpar players every day, please no more. Just suck it up and do fates or hunting logs while you wait.

[Pyreflye]

All this would do is bring a score of lvl 50 DPS characters who haven't got a clue how to play their class.

Wow, even I think this would be a bad idea, and im usually the king of bad ideas.

You need to use the class the entire leveling time, to find out what things do. it takes practice, which you get by leveling.

If you do this, just automatically give everyone all lvl 50's. it will be just as useless.

...Allow players that have level 50 healers or tanks to queue as a healer or tank but apply the experience gained to a DPS class. *gasp* Thats it...

Why not just suggest all jobs shared the same EXP bar? ^^;
It would solve your problem completely as all of your jobs will be lv50 simultaneously.
And you don't need to lv your tank for 8times.

[tiiwii]

It's a pretty bad idea when you put it that way,

But im not denying that I did a similar(?) act

I'm a pretty new player in this game, and waiting for guildnest is really horrible for a dps class, (it almost took me 2hrs to go in satasha)
where in my position i'm in need to clear a certain dungeon to proceed on my main quest, kinda piss me off when i cant continue and just stuck there

I took the free trial, and lvl a tank and a healer...
what i did is just cutting a long Q, using duty finder several times with healer / tank, and change to my main dps and get into the duty finder faster than i normally wait

but in my case, i'm leveling all my characters though, and having fun trying other classes
i didnt even know when you have a lvl 50 character you gain an experience bonus hahaha ^^;

Yeah while the concept isn't inherently bad, it would be way to abused to make it worth the effort to balance.
