DPS Queue Times

[Joe777]

I think the variety of dps jobs contributes significantly to the disparity in support v. dps roles, not sure if you're implying otherwise but if so I'd have to call that out. If not ignore this

It's half appeal and half wanting to be DPS. Appeal is especially true to new players. However, many veterans prefer to avoid tanking and healing altogether due to "social issues". Overall, the quantity of people preferring DPS over Tank and/or Healer is bigger than both Tanks and Healers combined. I could be exaggerating as I don't have exact figures or anything, but then again who truly does? Either way, DPS tends to be more appealing in both coolness factor and function over Healers and Tanks. The only true candidate against the coolness factor is Dark Knight, which is usually a player's reason to hurry to Heavensward.
