Queue times for content getting long?

Good job ignoring everything else I said.

Just responding to the only thing you said that I found interesting.

Do you mean just like how many, many tanks don't check their parties gear levels, then proceed to pull every single enemy they can possibly pull, only to NOT use any cool downs at all to mitigate the insane damage their taking, then pull attitude on the healer when they die for being bad? Is that what you mean?

Or maybe you mean those instances where tanks drop the second the duty begins because they don't like the dungeon Duty Finder chose for them?

I've had dps and healers do the same, pulling extra mobs or dropping cuz they didn't want to do totorak or titan or what have you. Its not limited to tanks :P

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

They get treated worst when they are worse. I am PLD and changed to NIN as another PLD tried to explain me that Titan needs an OT and flamed the whole time. Of course he ignored that he was not moving out of AoE, falling down.... so I decided to be a good DPS instead and only change to tank if it is really needed. And I never regret to change my job.

Small Story:
Yesterday I helped out a completly new archer from my FC in toto and his door bell was ringing so he followed me and I explained it to the group (healer also from my FC). As I am totally overgeared for that dungeon the DMG was just fine and I need to be carefull not to take aggro. What was the response from the TANK? Flaming that someone should leave while the door bell is ringing instead of going afk. I mean he was DK and not using aoe aggro once.... but a big mouth. So I pulled and tanked all mobs and mid bosses until he starts crying that I should let the tank do this. Well after I told him I would if he would be a "tank" and not only a puppet with huge life he was quite and really does his damn job.

You think this is special? Nope it is not! Why do you see more DPS jerks as TANKS? Cause there are the double amount of them in each party! So do the math: Double amount means also double chance for jerks....

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

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.
