    I was expecting a thread like this tonight.

    For some reason the queues are very long, I usually find a group in about 30-40 minutes, there must be a problem with the duty finder since I never got this issue even though I'm a dps

    I even tried to requeue, thought I was bugged lol

    As a DRG you must be in queue at like 4am or something. I haven't had a queue over 35 mins since launch.

    Are players no longer trying to enlist from their own server first? Be sure to ask
    once in your LS/FC, then shout in either a town or at the dungeon entrance, also
    be sure to LFP and use the player search function.

    After you've exhausted those, then go to the Duty Finder, The whole point of DF
    is to match you with people that also want to do that content. If nobody on another
    server is queu'd for that content, that matches your party setup needed, the queue
    will take a long time. You can also enter DF with a partially formed party form your
    server and it will finish the rest out (cutting your time in the DF) Hope that information
    helps! I too have had some long wait times before, but we try to help in our FC when
    we're able.

    If you're just entering DF by yourself, it may take a while, because the match up is first
    come first serve and there is a long line of DD

    I think this is also why WoW and a number of other games have 3 DPS per group instead of 2... it helps make the game support the actual ratio of Tanks/Healers to DPS. Yes, SE can try to adapt the player base to their game by making playing a tank or a healer more appealing, but I kind of think adapting the game to fit the players might be a better idea in the long run.

    Giving tanks/healers lower repair costs would be a good start

    so a main part of this is due to the fact that everyone is FATE grinding to 50 and at 50 they already have the quest to rank up by doing AK and many people jump right into AK in AF or less and do not have the gear to make the demon wall DD requirement.

    I have had tanks that cant even stay alive for the first trash pull, ones who just are not equipped (skill or gear) to handle this place yet, and I have stayed with some of them, full 2hr run (not including wait) to not finish it before timer, its not fun.

    I use FC and rarely need more then one from DF now, and this works best. ONE inexperiance learning AK player is ok, but 2-3 isnt worth the time.

    Also, queues are very long as max number of concurrent AK are being hit it seems since full groups have 15min+ waits to get an instance reserved all weekend

    Yea i think the instance server was having the same issues yesterday too. what we did was drop queue, get somebody else wh isnt bugged to join, queue for something else, cancel it, then have them leave the group and try again.
