Fix Long Dungeon Queue's (Feature request) idea!

Role-less roulette seems like the pragmatic solution to this problem. First, it would have to be implemented in a way that the player can only choose either the lvling roulette or the role-less one for the day. Then the exp and rewards would have to be balanced to give pause to the choice, that way one roulette isn't necessarily overplayed than the other.

I'm aware PotD exists but it has reached its usefulness at lvl 60.

How about add more healer and tank jobs?

They tried that in HW and supposedly it didn't really budge. The problem isn't that people don't have a healing or tanking job they like, but it's tanking and healing they dislike. I mean, that'll be nice for people who already play those roles, but unlikely it will make that much of a difference

So will we be oppressing the npcs or will they have full voting rights and be able to kick the scrub pc players from the group?

[Rakiria]

all exp goes to the job you queued up with at the time.

So you basically only ever tank and level all your jobs without playing them? Sorry my friend but that very point already doesn't work.

And on the squadron fill, if two dps queue up, one of which wants to just add his bots and one of which really doesn't want to, what happens then? Does the non-botter get to say no and anger the botter who'll likely just requeue, or does he get dragged in as soon as one person say fill with squad? I know I surely wouldn't want to play with bots, as they are simply put quite dumb.

Especially when you look at real history...it was actually the men who wore heels more often than not.

yeah some people forget that little tidbit of information. men added heels as a way to keep their boots in stirrups while riding, and was later adopted by male aristocrats as a way to look more important and imposing. then later become a status symbol for women.

well more healing and tank jobs wont work because the reason most people dont like healing or tanking is because they are far more stressful than DPS. All a damage dealer needs to do is worry about themselves and pew pewing while tanks and healers need to not only worry about themselves but everyone else, either through healing damage or maintaining enmity. Very few people want to subject themselves to the stress of the role and any abuse that may come from failing even the smallest iota.

[BillyKaplan]

Yeah I agree about how stressful things can be. DPS can, to an extent, do their own thing. Healers and Tanks are two different mixes of having to be proactive and reactive with healers mostly depending on if you're regen or shields (shields are actually reactive as you respond to a cast attack, while regens can be used as a proactive healing to make your life easier throughout). Don't be proactive enough, your dps pulls for you. Not reactive enough, your tank died. There's a fun challenge in healing for me and I can enjoy tanking on a good group, but honestly if they didn't put those mounts behind the tanking achievements I wouldn't have bothered.

Meanwhile we're making some progress about the heels, I feel like.

You want them to make queues shorter where your squad members fill the gaps? Ok then, if you're with another human player, who gets to bring their squad? Who might do everything they can to troll the hell out of you? Or maybe they're just so bad with the squad, you can never progress and you wasted MORE time instead of just waiting like a normal person.
