So if dps queues are so long....

wouldn't having future dungeons with a lite party help if they consisted of 3 dps instead of 2? for every one tank it would help 3 dps instead. Also, 5 man parties would be fun.

It still wouldn't change anything until more people stopped playing DPS and played healer or tank. People don't want to be a healer or a tank, ergo, long wait times for DPS.

Yeah I understand that not enough people play tank or healer which is the main culprit, but having 3 dps join per tank/healer instead of 2 would have to shave off some time.

It would improve dungeon queue times regardless by reducing the number of DPS that are in the queue. The reason queues take so long on DPS isn't because there are no tanks/healers, it's because there aren't enough tanks/healers for the amount of people queued up on DPS.

That said, this suggestion has been made a lot already and the devs have only taken it into consideration for 24 mans so far.

dps queues for me arent that long at all tho.. 10 min max probably more like 7 but rounded it up abit.. only queue that is long for me is pvp but its long for every1 lol

Yeah I love pvping; I enjoy it in this game. However, My limited play time would be wasted waiting in pvp queue. Also, I'm a tank and figured dps queues were long by what people say.

Haha pvp queues are a whole other beast all together. Those are long for tanks and healers as well I assure you.

Some of the reasons for long queues in pvp are that there is little to no incentive (set of vanity gear + mounts that take literally hundreds of hours grinding to get) and because people are locked into restrictions such as GC and the party job setup restrictions in wolves' den.

They should also consider the fact that 5 mans are more fun than 4.
Yeah it's just my opinion; I wonder what the general population would prefer.

Depends really. The advantage of 4 man parties over 5 is that, as a DPS, you pull more weight.

Ultimately, they need to make being a healer or tank just as fun as DPS to play, in order to get a more even mix. I don't know how to do that. 3 dps insted of 2 would help, but it would only be a temporary solution.
