The only real way to solve DPS queues

[Driavna]

What your idea would do is move those wait times to healers/tanks (like 24 man raids) or everyone outside peak times. Anyway, so far no MMO has fixed ques for DPS outside "removing" roles, witch is a "lie" and make things worst due players that only want to do DPS and ignore everything else.

I think it's a little pathetic that SE couldn't pull three jobs off like last time. Didn't they just get a budget increase?

If they did, those extra resource should go into new content and such if there isn't any other jobs.

I don't know what goes into designing a new job. Do you? Either way, they've stated it takes about a year to design and balance a new job.

Oh I know designing and balancing a job isn't easy. The WHM and PLD fiasco proves that. It's just, it would make more sense to me if the Dev team had the same resources as they did with heavensward. I remember hearing that wasn't the case however, that they just got a budget increase. What exactly are they doing with it?

A budget increase that is likely going towards a lot of server upgrades for the storage increase and things like that. A higher budget does nothing if the dev team doesn't increase. We don't know if they have added on more devs yet, which would have been needed to pump out more jobs.

The only true solution to increase demand is to also increase supply.

This is absolutely true, and your suggestion is the right one, I think.

Sadly, I seriously doubt that SE will ever implement such measures. The queue for DD (I prefer to avoid the DPS acronym, as it doesn't make sense from a grammatical standpoint) has been an issue ever since XIV 2.0 released, and they've made no move to adjust things thus far. I do wonder if the release of two new DD jobs, with no matching tanks or healers, will create enough of a bottleneck for them to do something, though.

Still won't fix the problem. Every mmo I have played that has the trinity system in place struggles with a shortage of tanks. It has nothing to do with the number of tank classes available, or the number required for any specific content. It has everything to do with people not wanting the responsibility of "leading" group content.

I play a tank and I've never lead anything so I don't know where you get the idea that tanks have to be leaders?

You have to lead every dungeon you do, since DPS or healers pulling is a very bad idea.

I know another way.....pre-order your tank and healer before SB's release !
We already take reservations for leveling dungeons so don't miss the opportunity to insta tag !

(yes I know but I'm a lala stuck with no new healer job, what did you expect ?)

Depends on where they invested those resources. By looks of it they; potentially, invested a lot into the world considering we're getting a bit of Ala Mhigo and the Othard continent. We're also getting Eureka, so it seems as though they're investing quite a bit into the world. How that pans out... we'll have to wait for more info to confirm. = /
