So Why Is It Always The DPS Who Withdraws?

[Zojha]

I don't get the "DPS queue are longer", these days, everytime i queue as DPS the dungeon pops within 5min oO (except for things like 24 men raid).
Sometimes i even spend more time in the queue as a healer ^^"

It depends on where and what you queue of course, but I typically have between 15 and 8 minute wait for things like expert/60s roulette, about 8-5 minutes for things like Alexander and get the occasional insta-pop for 24 man raids. 24 man raid aside, I can half the queue time by queuing as healer instead and pretty much get insta-pops as tank.

Waiting on my ninja alt for the Zeta, (50s) dungeons always take well over 20 minutes. I frequently fill the entire rest of the book in the time it takes me to get into the dungeon, FATE waiting aside. The same applies to dungeons another alt required for the MSQ - copperbell normal in that case. Ironically, the queues are lower when I queue at off hours.

As a DPS i have learned one thing, and that is to do other things while queuing. Most often I level crafts or gatherers via levequests, and if I am in the middle of a levemete sometimes I will not get there in time because I think that if I am just quick enough I might manage to get it done in those 30 sec.

The other day I ended up withdrawing twice in a row for Haukke Manor as a tank.


I had gotten it in leveling roulette as a dps, and the tank left after the first boss.
Decided to try and hop out and queue in progress to fill the tank spot myself.

It gave me two fresh pops while I had in progress checked....
The third pop gave me the previous instance though.

A lot of the time it's the tank that instant declines the pop.
