Since SAM and RDM got announced we knew that DPS queues would be bad, and as predicted they are. I am a tank and have found myself having instant queues and I have been using this to help my fellow DPS friends through content.
I wanted to make this thread for people to pledge their support, for tanks and healers to offer themselves as available to queue up with newly made friends rather than using the DF, and for DPS to find people on their world that they can queue up with in order to progress more easily .
As a community we can help this problem until it gets ironed out over time.
I'm in, I enjoy Paladin, and helping others enjoy the game as well is very satisfying to me. My wife is White Mage, and frequently Q's with me, so between us we do our best together and individually to help out - not for gil, just because we enjoy playing.
yep Im def on primal acutally even have an alt on Hyperion just in case I ever feel like changing servers
I only level tanks. Once I a done with MSQ on WAR and I have farmed that job up to keep pace wit the next story patch and upcoming content, I'll be right back in the DF queue with my PLD and DRK. I always queue random after I check with FC to see if anyone needs a tank for speedy queues.
I like tanking in dungeons, and I am long past the point where one or two bad teammates in a DF will bother me even a little. If I get "helper" DPS doing pulls, stealing enmity, etc...I don't much sweat it, especially since SB decided to stealth nerf tanking under the guise of shifting the HW speed run paradigm to something more traditional.
But I'll be in the queue. No worries.
I'm a low level PLD and the community is great. Using macro for asking bosses or dungeon advices and have a very positive experience. I have no FC, Duty finder is my home. Pretty good way to learn the job. Thanks to all the HL players who helped me.
If you are leveling through ARR and HW content on Moogle server. Add me to your friendlist. (^◇^)/
I find it really funny that people are charging to get DPS through queues. I've always mained DPS and I've never seen queues this bad. The past few days I've waited 45+ min just for my expert alone. I think it was Sunday I waited an hour. It seems it's only getting worse too with more people hitting 70 now. I'm actually leveling AST now because the queues are so bad lol.
I think the queues will eventually stabalize to where they were. People may have taken up RDM and SAM, but most of those who did were mostly likely already DPS. It's the increased amount of players that impacting the queue more than the new jobs, imo (though I'm sure some came back just for the jobs).
I started leveling Paladin, then remebered how much I dislike tanking. So I started leveling AST, then I remembered how much I dislike healing.

So I've just been watching re-runs of Game of Thrones on my second monitor while I wait in queue. I can usually get through an entire episode and half of a second one before my queue pops. Lol
Or be like me while I was leveling my samurai I go around begging tank that is on my similar level and they usually bring along on their dungeon runI started leveling Paladin, then remebered how much I dislike tanking. So I started leveling AST, then I remembered how much I dislike healing. XD

there is absolutely no excuse to charge people to tank a g****** dungeon. Period.Only reason I charge is because im in 314 gear, verity does nothing for me, and im just trying to make some side cash cause I hate crafting. So you can pay for a super fast and efficient run with someone who knows the ins and outs of all 3 dungeons, or make friends with a fresh 70 tank who still needs verity gear. Run definitely wont be as smooth or fast but youll still get instant q. Tanks are in demand dont sell yourself short, everyone wants to play the dps weeb but doesnt want to wait for que times, cant have both.
This is why I changed to Tank. To get people like you away from the DPS folks
