adventurer in need always tank

[KoroushSensei]

everyday when i use df most of the time it is tank in need. sometimes healer but rarely dps

[AskaRay]

That's because tanks are the one in need the most.

[Belhi]

That's because there are less tanks queuing.

The Adventurer in need system is a system to encourage players to queue in the role most needed to reduce queue times.

That's why when there were a lot of people levelling DRK you saw periods where DPS actually became the Adventurer in Need.

I wanted to queue for World of Darkness once. Saw ''DPS in need''

I though the game was broken...

Sorry but I will have to disagree. The tanker is the most important thing on every MMO. It's fair because Isn't every player that it's skillfully suficient to be a tanker. With a good tanker you can do whatever you want even if the healer and dps isn't that good.

what exactly are you disagreeing with? OP just made a statement that the tanks are always listed for "adventurer in need"

in any case the system is like that to lower Que times by giving a bonus to the role that is having the least ques. (which is often tanks)

[Xanikk999]

DPS are always the most popular role in pretty much all MMOs. More people enjoy DPS than the do tanking or healing.

I disagree, with a great healer even a dps can tank (we used to run 3 dps 1 healer to speed run philo tome farming back in the day and outside of the hardest content like primals most times a tank can be cut completely) with a bad healer the party isnt going anywhere in easy or hard content.

Wrong. With a good healer, you can succeed even if you have a horrible tank and horrible DPS.

Was there a point to this thread? Adventurer in need is the adventurer in need....? Self-explanatory. If you need further clarification, think of this way. Most new people tend to play a DPS or get a DPS to cap first because it helps them learn the mechanics of various things without playing a core role and screwing things up like you can easily do as a tank and sometimes as a healer. Tanking is also a little more....'annoying'? than other games like say wow when you can literally go into a pack and spam one button to get threat on everything. Hardly any form of real resource management when you're leveling in games like that compared to here.
