Not for casuals

[Mimzel]

These are really bad suggestions.
The be a Healer/Tank is a bad idea. If people don't want to do that, they shouldn't.
It's just bad for the DPS and I miss my THM but by God if I gotta wait 50 years for a que lol.

It's not a bad idea. It's a realistic idea. If people want to live on a pink puffy cloud, then they should expect to fall on something hard when reality eventually comes knocking. Healers and tanks have insta-ques. If you want to play with insta ques, you need do make a tank or healer.

I'm sure the game is prohibitive for a lot of very casual gamers. For that I am glad they made a game for people who actually want to play more old school kinda of MMORPG where you cant solo everything. Heaven forbid you try one of the zillion single player mmo out there.

OMG!!! When I see people post threads like this i want to teleport into their workplace and drop kick them. This is an MMORPG, i think people like you are why mmos are so damn easy these days to begin with, getting to max level on a real MMO should be utterly impossible solo. It is supposed to be a game that forces you to take the time to meet with others and plan tactics to get to the next part of the storyline. To be honest the only part i agree with your post is the duty finder thing, it's actually a handicap for these anti social people and people who have no time to spend hours in an mmo (like you) and to be honest, this mentality does not belong in online rpgs. I hate to be mean (not really) but you and everyone like you need to play solo console games because your type entering into the mmo world has created games like this and swtor and such where you can play for a few hours here and there and still get to max level with ease >_>

**edit** and what i meant by utterly impossible solo is at least on your first character (assuming you didn't utilize gold spammers) you shouldn't be able to reach max level by yourself, obviously if you've had a character get max the first time you'd have the ability to get good gears and such...but point being that with people going around pissed that there are dungeons which require more than an hour of their time to get through these are exactly the people ruining the "MMO Experience" that many of us wish for because the damn devs gotta make the game catered to those who can only play like 30 minutes >_< I actually work full time 8-5pm monday through friday and you know what, if a game existed that required 6 hours a day to get through it in a timely manner and i could only make real progress on weekends then fuck I would still play as long as the game made me feel accomplished even if it took years to get max level and I mean that literally.

Not all games need to be for casual players. Go play a game for casuals.... We no lifers need games too... sheesh. You casuals are like the overly religious or sports nuts, thinking everything in the world has to format to your specific needs, and ideas of what is fun, or matters.

Simple solution right here - lv up Paladin & don't wait anything I really serious , i have also job to do , also have 1017 when trying to log in . But i about to Battle Garuda alredy , and tried about all dungs that aviable for me w/o any waiting on duty finder .

My que's are instant lol, sucks for the dps

The wait times do suck. But it kind of comes with the territory of being a DPS class. I'm not a fan of healing and I'd rather learn to tank with my friends instead of people in duty finder. It's not like I have to sit around for half an hour for the queue. Questing is at finger tips so I deal.

I'm a DPS and I never had to wait more than a minute for a queue.
Oh right, my other party member is a tank ( ఠ‿ఠ ).

[Chiramu]

OP, you're a Gladiator, that means you're a tank and should not have wait times...I've never had a problem with wait times in this game.

There is plenty to enjoy in this game if you wont or dont want to do dungeons. They are hard true but that is the price of the game being attractive to a wide range of people. You can craft your heart out in many ways and just enjoy the amazingly beutiful world. And in time, the lines will get less and yes any of the support roles get thru fast.

Maybe not the right place to ask but, I am a new player and an experienced tank from other MMOs. Thing is, the tank classes in XIV do not really appeal to me so I plan to mainly play Dragoon while leveling. Now, my question is, is it viable to use the multi class system to basically level as a tank for dungeons, and a dragoon for actual "fun" play when I solo?

I really don't see an issue with it. The characters were pretty much made to be a whatever you want them to be so that's pretty cool.
