My remedy, sadly, is to simply wait out the tide. Don't even bother queuing for dungeons for now while all this nonsense is going on. Might take longer, but I usually end up capping purely through Coil, and I've never cared about capping as is. Hopefully the next relic step takes people back out of dungeons. Give 'em another Novus-like step or center it around hunts.

Or hell, SE consider making Guildhests a viable alternative as has been previously suggested.
I completely understand, ThirdChild.

All it takes is a few bads to ruin it for everyone when it comes to DF. I mean we have the issue with lack of tanks & healers in DF, due to not enough tank/healer roles in comparison to DPS, but then you get people like Yumi_umi, who most likely came from the part of the WoW community that turned me away from the game early on, that would rather demean a new tanker and drive them to hang up FF14 instead of helping he/she learn their class TO BE more efficient/effective for higher level tanking etc. I run into and attempt it with every new tanker/healer I come across in DF, DPS is not that difficult to play (outside of optimizing DPS and meeting DPS checks in certain fights).

It is also people like her that would cry about queue times etc, but does not take into consideration of the indirect damage she does to dungeon queuing with her "I'll tell the tank to go afk," "They're useless until the boss fight," "blah blah" nonsense.

The devs have to make a delicate balance as an MMO only goes as far as players will take it. If DF dies, new players will hang the game up early and consequently SE loses revenue and affect new expansions/support for the game.
