I apologize if I took your post out of context. It looked to me as though you were suggesting that the SE devs should be fired for creating the system as it exists, and I was trying to point out that they had good reasons for doing so originally (rush job, corners had to be cut), and good reasons for leaving it the way it is now (the benefits of the change do not outweigh the costs). Doing what you're told to do by management doesn't sound like grounds for termination to me!

In regards to "threads like this", I'm NOT including DPS queue threads in that tally because, as is stated in the very first post in this thread, allowing players to queue on multiple roles will NOT affect the queue times. Not to any significant degree, at any rate. There is absolutely nothing stopping a DPS now from getting a fast queue. All they have to do is queue up as tank or healer. Why don't they? Because they want to DPS. If a DPS who wants to DPS is given the option to sign up as tank and healer as well, they won't use it - because if they get pulled in on tank or healer, then they won't be on DPS!

You are correct that "DPS queues are too long!" complaint threads are nigh ubiquitous in the General Forums - but what is being proposed by the OP is not a solution to that problem, and he's very aware of it.
