DPS Queue Times

And they're back to where they were, now. They could add 50 new tank classes next expansion and the DPS queue would STILL be the longest one.

Sure but not as long as now.

DPS queue's were still an issue in ARR. They chose to do 1 healer, 1 tank, and 1 dps. The tank is a very loved type of job (DRK) and the dps that came out is still statistically the least played dps in the game (MCH)

Yet after 2 weeks, the queue barely changed in time. It only sped up for people leveling in the 30-60 range because people wanted to try out the tank. Then, they stopped. I even remember reading that Square said most of the people that stuck with DRK already played a PLD or WAR, so it didn't really change the amount of played tanks.

As pointed out once the "no tank or healer in SB debate", we keep begging for a new tank, but would you play that new tank?

I'd say that depends. I know I for one did play DRK fairly regularly in dungeons up until Stormblood, even if I didn't main it - It wasn't my favorite, but I liked it more than waiting. Then they changed it and I can't even bear leveling it all the way to 70 now, much less use it afterward. I'd do the same with any other potential "new" tank that might suit my fancy. I'd also play DRK again if it was reverted, but let's be realistic here <.<'
