I have 18 characters and only 4 of them are tanks. I would play other characters as a tank too if gearing wouldn't be so painful.

This is someone's perspective on why people are too lazy to roll a tank or healer. It mentions NO specific statistics which makes YOUR numbers just as imaginary as mine.

So in your collection alone, you have 22% tanks, and 78% Other

Yes, because I like tanking and now I'm even addicted to "shadow tanking" so that means more tanky Shadows/Assassins.

I have 8 characters and 6 of them are tanks and I refuse to que for lfg. Which I believe is more the problem than a shortage of tanks. The bad experiences in lfg far outweigh the good.

It's not about the number of tanks on servers. Problem is in the number of tanks who queue through GF.
I don't really like to queue for FPs after Athiss because I haven't memorized every mob position and shortcut in every FP after that. Also some of the players don't like my pace.

This is also a valid point. I only tank for friends and guildmates because of how tanks are treated by the majority who only like to play DPS.

The system could pull the next X number of bodies directly into the instance. We already know BOTH scenarios are possible given the Gree Event, and certain OPs/FPs. Having one mass queue to use would speed things up drastically, since you would instantly be paired with a group, regardless of faction.

As a tank, I already have instant queues, and as someone who never PvP, I have no dog in the WZ fights. Just a thought.
another terrible idea.

it's bad enough that we are forced to fight our own faction but this wouldn't be fun at all. wz queues are pretty fast anyways. trying to fix a problem that isn't there.

No one wants to talk about the ACTUAL problem. Fixing things that are not the issue seems to be popular in MMOs these days.
