5 minute average queue time.

[Aerlana]

It literally becomes an hour.

Make tanks easier and more rewarding to play. To wait this long to advance the MSQ, this is ridiculous.

i am really less activ now than 1 year ago. i dont know how is the queue now.
But before, queue for melee was quite low, only range had a long one.
FFXIV get a not so bad waiting time for damages. And mainly due to the fact it is easy to have a heal/tank ready for the basic contents (dongeons, and "normal" primals, even story mode of the raid 8 )

The matter for ALL mmorpg is what?
When the team needs 1 heal, 1 tank and 2 Damages, for no waiting time for everyone you need 25% playing tank, 25% playing heal 50% playing damages. in WoW, 1/1/3 it is nearly same (20/20/60). But we are probably more to a 70% damages...

Sad to say, but the only solution is doing like many people, have a heal/tank ready for "easy" content. SE can only make tanking more attractiv (or healing) but how? I mean it is not only a question of class gameplay. it is a question of what you have to do in the fight... 3 different mind.
Mostly i like to play healer. Not because "gameplay of healing class are those i prefer" but because "what i have to do as healer is what i prefer" . And i think many people think the same.

(and for the "adding more heal/tank. in HW we were 3/3/7 so close to the good % of each... and had this matter)


for many things, i consider solution have to come at least from developpers, but for this matter, only players can solve it. (Devs can only make decision that could maybe, sometime, helps a little the players).
FFXIV is a wonderfull game for this : you can play ALL in one character... so having one of the 3 tank or one of the 3 heal ready for easy content is not so hard...
