    This... shouldn't be counted as good advice. And it shouldn't need to be used to speed up queues either >.<
    I'm not saying it won't help, because I know it will... But me personally, I'm intending to never use it. Just as I dislike getting DE-only or FR-only people in my instances when I've only ticked EN, I'm not going to subject a DE or FR group that has ticked only their language to my presence, seeing as how I speak neither language. (Being in Chaos, I doubt there are many JP-only people, hence why I left that language out ^^; ) Not because I have anything against them as such, but it is highly annoying trying to discuss tactics when one or two people makes no sign they even try to read what you're saying.


    I know there's been some issues from time to time with DF since 3.0, when the devs' tweaks have had unexpected consequences. And I'm not sure if all those consequences have been sorted out entirely. I've had issues where the queue window doesn't show the count of how many in which roles, only showing the text "Reserving instance" and nothing more, if even that. (My flatmate, on the other hand, has gotten the full queue window, when we've queued together. Other times, I've gotten the full thing, and my flatmate's gotten the bugged-out one.) I've had queues where the DF said the role in need was tank (or healer), yet we're sitting there with 1 tank, 1 healer and 0 dps (for a 4-man instance) for 20 minutes or more.

    The last issue I read about was regarding VA, and how they recommended queueing either with a full group or solo, not with a partially preformed. But that was a while ago, before I had to take a break from the game for IRL reasons, and I don't know if the issue was solved or not. And even if it mainly was, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a ghost of that glitch/bug still haunting the DF... ^^;
