I feel badly for new players right now, but honestly this problem is just a matter of bad timing. While DPS queues are never fun, normally on my server, DPS queues rarely lasted longer than thirty minutes. Now, they're so bad I've pretty much given up on leveling my DRG for the time being.

For new players just getting into the game, this has to be pretty frustrating if they decided to start the game off as a DPS class (and since folks luv them sum deeps, I'm guessing most do). Not a great way to say "Welcome to Eorzea!", but the problem will pass in due time.
