Add another DPS to Dungeons

though the question is "would 5-man dungeons do any harm to the game?"

Wow, that is hard to answer. In my opinion it wouldn't. It wouldn't make queues longer for tanks or healers..
But there might be also levels of this thing that I cannot just see as a normal mortal being.. developers probably know more.

Probably the biggest problem of whole thing and maybe the biggest reason why they haven't implemented 3 DPS party is, that the game is based on 4man light parties and 8man heavy parties and maybe they would have to change a lot of coding while implementing 5man light party.

Yeah they might, because development resources would have to be diverted to rebalance the game around a 5-man party instead of a 4-man one. This is dev time that could be used for other things.

Unlike when a lot of people moan and complain about dev time being used to make a pet or something for the cash shop, this really does impact development of other things.

And since it wouldn't have the desired effect (reducing dps queue times), it'd be a pretty pointless exercise.

Now, if they want to add another role (support maybe) then yeah sure.. but that's a more expansiony thing to do.
