Duty Finder queues are too damn long!

Noone's punishing anybody for playing what you want to play. It's not Squeenix and it's certainly not other players. What we do have is a good old Supply and Demand effect.

Just because you make fifty times more poop than other people doesn't mean there needs to be a demand for it.

Am I doing this right?

SE please fix queue times. I can't handle waiting 26 seconds on DRG!

The queues werent horrible before the patch... but after Ninja came out.... well, What should have been done was not add yet another dps to the already long list without also bringing out new tank/healer jobs to help the process along. They probably should have held ninja until the expansion >.>; There is a reason why the trinity system exists in some games.
Just my opinion of course, but Im pretty sure the queue would have suffered less if there were other interesting new jobs to help fill each of the DF roles.

And what were you Queued for? Trials doesnt exactly count. Expert, low level dungeons and High level queue times are what is suffering. Trials hasnt suffered because people still spam it for lights and those fights only take roughly 5 mins to complete.

I can only speak from personal experience and feelings with regards to why these queue times are so long...I don't need them nor enjoy them. I can imagine the same for others from when I talk to them. Although the expert queues aren't too long, even as DPS. They still give you the daily alexandrite so they have that going for them, which is nice. <Insert meme here>

As for low level, unless someone is leveling, there's little to no point in going back there. If you want to go back for crafting mats, best thing to do is make a full party so you don't run the risk of losing them. The dodore wings for example in Aurum Vale. Not sure if they were added to encourage players to run that dungeon but making a full party cuts out the random players unfortunately because it's faster and easier. Other than that, they provide very few times and little financial gain.

I still think they should have made the servers work like GW2 with a worldless design implementing cross world friends list, partying and multi-regional grouping. It just so happens that you could choose a region near you to reduce lag times.

At this point I'll settle for saving my game settings to the server so I don't have to update 2-3 systems. It would be nice to be able to play with my Japanese friends and NA friends at the same time without making 2 characters.

6 DPS to 50 I have, troubles with duty finder I never had...There's something you can always do meanwhile you wait 10-15 min...

AND.... YOU CAN ALWAYS.... Force the things... You know... I made the animus of my ninja the next week, when the low level dungeons had 4 hours queue because of DPS overload.... How?!.... Search function, send a tell to all the tanks with close level to the dungeon (They'll accept quick runs and will accept even more the money), solved.
