    Yeah, but there's the problem that CM and CP take far longer than your average dungeon does.

    You could wait 15-20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes and get into Sastasha or Baby Ifrit, or even something like Bardam's Mettle, and be done in 20 or so minutes.

    OR, you wait 30+ minutes for CM or CP and be stuck in there for nearly 30-45 minutes after all the cutscenes.

    You're still going to take 20 minutes longer for CM/CP.

    DPS Times suck, but when you dump so much time into a run for the cutscenes, it's going to make it even worse. and that's probably partly why the wait times still suck even after increased rewards.

    But just to humor, I'll log on and check the wait time a few times and see what it's like on NA for DPS. I'm guessing I'll likely get the "Longer than 30 minutes". Meanwhile I've never seen a Leveling more than 25. Usually predicts 16-18 when I first click the Join button (though it usually inflates to 20-25).

    EDIT2: 27m currently. After inflation? Probably 30-45 just to get in the door.
    EDIT3: Instant DPS Q for Leveling. WTF? lol. That's probably a fluke. It said 7m average the second before it popped the box. And now I gotta do Sohm Al despite the fact it'll give me almost nothing for XP.
    EDIT4: This time it says 16 minutes. heh. We'll see what it actually ends up being.
