    More rewarding, in terms of items of some kind - sure, I'm all for that.

    Easier to play?! Hell no - tanks are already easy enough to play, and personally I'd drop my paladin as main if they dumped that job down (again). In hindsight ARR with basically 4 buttons (Halone+Flash) wasnt enjoyable at all.

    People dont play tanks because the job would be difficult, but because they wanna see big numbers or dont want to take the leader-position or the bullsh*it tanks are getting. "Nerfing" the jobs wont get more people to play tank.

    ...and if you dont want to play a tank or healer: Buddy up for queues! Join a friendly FC with people willing to queue for MSQ for you! Open a PF, advertising your bonus and hope a friendly tank or healer will join. Find a friend whos willing to tank/heal for you - but please dont ask for jobs that people enjoy to play to be dumb down, just because you have this crazy idea that it might get more people to play them...

    I'm still all for the extra rewards though - rewards that are more than just some cracked clusters, that I dont really need anyways... or tank-mounts that are easier and better farmed by running Ex-primals anyways.

    Aye, one of the devs had this bright Idea for PvP....
    ....it didn't work, and killed PvP for those that enjoyed it.

    RIGHT HERE. Sorry, I enjoyed this comment so much I wanted to expand on it with my own comment. Them dumbing down PvP from what it was in HW was exactly why I stopped playing. (well, that and only ever getting Shatter... I'll just say my opinion of shatter is the first four letters.) I enjoyed going into Seal Rock and running around as a Warrior with all the cool PvP abilities it had and having the time of my life. PvP Warrior used to be the most fun thing in this game that I'd actually get a nightly group together where we played PvP randomly and it was really really fun. Especially when amazing moments like holmganging enemies into Adrenaline attacks, getting every person to attack you just to have them die because of Pushback and Vengance.

    Back on topic, I personally just play everything. I tank, I heal, I dps. Because I know that if something is needed, it's needed. It's not just some "Oh, let's have someone else do it." I learned WHM for Ex Trials, I learned how to play Warrior in Byakko to keep as many people as needed coming into the party. If you can't do the same, deal with the longer queue times. I did, because I was leveling every single DPS and used to main Ninja (just to find out I don't like HW Nin). If you don't enjoy tanking, if you don't enjoy healing, and really just want to play DPS for all eternity, then complaining when DPS, the roll with the MOST PEOPLE PLAYING IT and the MOST CLASSES IN THE GAME TOTAL, you don't get the right to complain when DPS queues are long. (just like how if you chose a popular race, a popular outfit, or popular hair/face you don't get to complain that you aren't unique looking.)

    Also, to keep you from wondering, the reason you have no right to complain is because you either did it to yourself or are not helping the problem.

    As with the poster above, I play all three classes because I want to fit in where I'm needed. Granted, I run with an FC for the most part (which, to be fair, may also be an option you haven't considered - if you have an FC, you should have a group of people that can help you get into/through dungeons), but even though my main is healer I have dps and a tank all at 70 so that if I'm needed for something else I can fill in a spot (even though, for example, I don't enjoy tanking and am not confident in it).

    Do I blame you for not wanting to play something you don't enjoy to queue? No, but on the same hand, everybody else should be able to play whatever they want to queue. Somebody else shouldn't be forced to give up the class they enjoy solely so that you can have a faster queue time.
