Queue times for content getting long?

[Assirra]

Have you ever considered this is not exclusive to tanks?
I got yelled at by a tank once before in Aurum vale for not healing well when he refused to do any single mechanic and i was just "supposed to heal through it".
Also, those replies are not only getting thrown your way because your class symbol is blue and i have a very hard time believing anyone would ever kick a tank tbh.

I agree with your last statement tough, there are rotten apples in every role/job/class.
Best to just ignore them and keep enjoying the game.

Instead of trying to get more tanks to queue up in df, how about everyone try to help out with the queue time by tanking in df?

<---DRK that tanks in DF.

No thanks. I'd sooner gouge out my eyes with a filthy, rusty spork than queue as tank or healer in DF. I don't find tanking or healing boring, I just would rather NOT deal with the hassle (& harassment) of being in one of those roles. I get it enough as DPS. As much as I would like to become a decent tank for my FC & linkshells, just... I'll pass.

Everyone should have at least 1 tanking class at high lvl, preferably at lvl 60, so that when your df is taking long time to pop waiting for that last tank, you can take the initiative and actually BE that tank.

My main is AST, but I'm planning to lvl my MCH and WAR to 60 as well. Come on guys and gals, tanking is fun. :P

^^^^^^

100% agreed with this guy, tanking is fun. Don't mind what people tell you, and go give it a shot, you'll fall in love with it and you get a mount on top of it! What more do you want to ask for?

Mostly for high level. No one will be running the 50 content much until the patch so they give xp.

Player 1: "I like to level up in dungeons via DF! Queue times are slow at times."
Player 2: "Want fast queue times go tank!"
Player 1: "Tank EXP transfers to my DPS! Sweet, thanks!"

lol

guys i asked if you were all having queue time issues not who's a jerk ;_; please don't fight

please don't fight

Stranger to these parts I see.

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.

Oh, the horror.

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

Well you can blame that on the ''tank,dps, healer'' 'trinity'. If more classes could tank you would have more tanks available.


That would also solve the whole ''but I dont want to tank, its too frightening'' and ''Im the tank, you listen to me'' situation, if you ask me.
Because if you flood the game with tanks the role becomes a lot less important, tanks lose their diva spot, and people will care less that tanks screw up. (relatively, compared to other roles)


That said, with the current target market for MMOs im not sure if that would play out like that. Many people will look to someone else to be the scapegoat vanguard.

I don't really do dungeons, so I can't say. 5 or 10 minutes isnt a long time to queue for tho.
