Stop rewarding tanks/healers! We all put in the same effort.

I do. I'm finally getting 10-20 minute queues and getting to level samurai in a non mind-numbing way while my fellow tanks and healers get their sweet, sweet materia. Win win!

It's probably only temporary though, once materia becomes as common as dirt queues will probably slide back to normal, but maybe by then things will have balanced out more or SE figured out a way to reward tanks and healers more.

Welp, that's still kinda disgusting how everything is offered to tank (and heal) just because they're a minority. With cracked cluster they can either gear themselve more easily or make tons of money. All of this because SE wasn't clever enough to prevent the obvious by adding new tank and heal instead of full DPS.

It wouldn't matter. Tanks and healers/supports were always the minority in every mmo that boots the role trinity and a dungeon matchmaker.
Heavensward was the same, even with each role getting a new addition - After the initial hype was gone, it was all back to tank and healers being the 'Adventurer in Need' on roulettes.

At least we didn't have roulette trouble at the release and even after the hype was gone, roulette timers were still correct, like 5min or less at the weekly reset for expert, while it's still 15min+ right now.

There are 3 tanks and healers vs 9 DPS that can be brought to level 70 now, so of course there will be a bottleneck in the queues.

While I agree they should've added a new tank and healer, nothing is preventing you from tanking. If the incentive is enough to bother you, it clearly should be enough to warrant you "biting the bullet" and doing some tanking yourself.

I prefer to dps, but the incentives and faster queues mean I tank more often than I'd like to. Rather than complaining about it, I recommend either following suit or learning to live with the fact that incentives for tanks and healers help DPS too.

I would if the xp grinding part wasn't so boring and repetitive.

Welcome to RPGs, where EXP grinding is 80% of the game.

Leveling as a tank is incredibly fast. Instant pop queues and bonuses for all duty roulettes. Tanks and healers get rewards because nobody wants to play them, they all want to play the "exciting" roles with little to no real pressure ( I mean if you mess up usually nobody dies) of DPS. If there was a shortage of DPS they'd get rewards.
