    Yeah its not like healers and tanks have fast queue pop in any games and had already instant queue back when we had cleric stance.

    Recently I farmed a lot of GC seal as a healer and most of the time my adventurer in need was for tanks and I had to wait dozen of minutes everytime before getting adventurer in need healer but it must be because people prefered the old "healer" way I guess.

    Fast Queue pops =/= instant queue pops.

    There's a difference between waiting for under 5 minutes to virtually non-existent. One implies there's still people joining and queueing up, the other implies the queue doesn't move until someone decides to queue up.

    No, it's not surprising that most of the time, your adventurer in need was for tanks. That was also the case for me. I had more times where tanks were in need BUT when I queued for tanks, it still took a while for the queue to pop. In contrast, healers queues were always empty/instant regardless of whether they were in need or not. In the past, I've actually always seen healer in need. If I didn't know better and was being paranoid, I would be saying SE was trying to mess around with who was in need to hide the fact that the queues always want a healer after people started bringing this issue up more often. Most likely, the actual reason is that when tanks are in need, people queue up for tanks, and then queue gets bloated with tanks but DF takes a while to update the change in the role in need. Still doesn't change the fact that healer queues are practically instant unless you happen to get a bot (which I also noticed has been happening a lot more often lately).

    It also looks like it starts a group with a tank and then fills all the other roles. Still, to start a group it waits for a group slot from the instance server so a tank may wait for the instance to be created while healers and DPS are filled into already created instances... or something like that. Did a lot of healers/tanks dungeon roulette spam to notice it. At some points when the instance server is overloaded it can even display some error messages about it and queue will not pop.
