    Not asking for super complicated, but like Kalsam mention work like Rift where you can Que for an Instance with Multiple Job. Like I want to que for CT with Tank, DPS, and Healer at once and whatever it pop, you have to switch to that job in need. Would drastically help the que time. SE forcing people to do low level content is just a temporarily band aids and won't work well in the long run.

    So.. queue as tank, healer or dps... isn't that the same as Queue as Tank? xD.

    And for the Need to change to certain role as you queue, well that's already in the game with jobs, if you queue as Dragoon and do fates with WHM when it pops you need to change to Dragoon again to enter.

    No, it's not the same. Like an example I want to Que for a Dungeon as a Tank, DPS, and Healer Role because I can play all this Job. And whatever job in need it will pop, then I will switch to that Job and get me in the Instances.

    Right now, for all Contents you can only Que as a Tank, DPS, or Healer. You cannot Que for it as multiple job.

    Yes, but the role that pop up first will be to 95% a tank. So just queue as a tank will give the same result.

    Exactly, THIS.
    Because even if you have the option to chose, 80% of the player will still only list themself as DD to the que.
    In WoW:WoD i played Warrior and leveled him from 1-100 as Tank and DD. Well I'd say, 99% of the invites has been as Tank. I could just have let the DD part unchecked, you won't get an invite as DD as long as you have Tank chosen.

    The reason people don't queue as tanks isn't because they can't queue as multiple jobs, but rather the risk vs. reward isn't worth it. It's stressful as a tank and to motivate people to queue despite that, there need to be rewards to tip the scales of the risk/reward ratio.

    I think this feature is a great idea and I would use it for sure, but I don't think in and of itself it will help much with the tank shortage. Players with access to tanks who don't queue as them will keep not queuing as them despite this system, unless there is something to motivate them otherwise.

    I would say, if this feature was added, that a role roulette feature also be included, with bonus tomestones rewarded at the end of the duty. This would motivate more of those with tanks to use them, as the extra rewards would be worth the added stress of the role (mind you, the adventurer in need could also be adjusted to do something similar. If it rewarded a good amount of extra tomestones instead of gil, I would tank in duties almost exclusively. As it is now, my mch gets all my time).
