Queue times for content getting long?

[Assirra]

hm we still playing FFXIV?

Ive seen tanks with horrible attitudes, just the same as healers and dps. Ive seen tanks get treated the worst, but that has only been my experience with 10+
years of MMO experience.

Have you beeing playing this game?
While not in this thread in plenty of other threads we have tanks think they are some demigod and the others have to be grateful for their very presence.

Also, don't try to old man me. It's really annoying and a pointless argument.
Hint: been playing mmo's for as long.

If any role in this game treats other like crap and has an ego from here to Tokyo it's tanks...

What if you live in Tokyo? I guess because I only play as a tank I rarely get to see other tanks except for the 8 man content, which all I usually do for that is trial roulette. I don't bad mouth people at all I don't even get snippy at anyone, why? Its a game if I die I'm not going to go after the healer because I died, even if its clear that they messed up, but at that I'm usually to busy doing things to notice.

I only use the DF for runs, mainly roulette now and if I need to add some extra tomes. I have seen the comments though about how long the que took to get in, when I got in instantly. I never experienced it from the other side. Sometimes if I do an early morning trial run it takes a little bit but no more than 10 minutes. I do get some random requests sometimes from people to do a dungeon. I actually got one the other day from someone wanting to do a guildhest, I happily did it and I will do it for anyone who asks and I have the time to do it. We are not all this evil egotistical prima donnas people label us as, that can go for anyone. If they are like that, they were that way before playing as a tank.

All the tanks got tired of people treating them like crap abd stopped dfing things solo.

If you want fast queues, tank. Otherwise, make sure to not chase any who do tank away, or the queues will only get longer...

oh please -.-

Interesting you mentioned this. I've been compiling a list of the number of times tanks were treated like crap during DF. This information spans all data centers. Below are my findings:

Never ever.

For me on my server, DD Ques aren't that bad especially at prime time.

Could also be your Language choice. For the most part I have all 4 checked and rarely wait to long.

I've noticed that, whenever I'm on my healer instead of my tank, my queue times start getting horrendously long, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, even sometimes 20 minutes.

And DPS queues, well, just lol.

Meanwhile, my tank queues are instant. Anyone else noticing this gradually getting worse, or am I just unlucky?

5 or 10 min are not long at all. But yea that seems norm for a healer early in the day i norm wait 3 min or so and my dps only takes about 15 min

Pre-Heavensward it was alot longer sometimes 30+ mins even an hour.

At most I waited was 25 mins and that's on a bad day. DPS ques has gotten better since Heavensward ( after honeymoon phase mind you).

Queues are getting longer, and while that is expected, the rate at which the queue time have increased are a lot more than I'd like for a game that just received an expansion two months ago. They really didn't do anything to refresh the core experience of the game with Heavensward, basically coping their launch day conditions and expected to reap the same results. Anyone here from day one probably has a good general idea of why that wasn't going to work.

Or, you know, since most people don't play tanks, queues will get longer. The DRK fad died off and people are back to playing their DPS mains. You could start tanking to help the queues, if you are so concerned.

I also know a lot of tanks who decided to change jobs to a DPS with the new expansion, to try something new. I'm one of those, though I usually still queue into dungeons as a tank.
