I watched the queue tank juggle for over 20 mins until we finally got two who would stick.Ī few of us were new, though Syn and I watched videos before we went in and had an idea of what was going on. We were already somewhat un-enthusiastic about trying it, but we swallowed our nerves and did it anyhow. Syn and I were trying to tackle the Chrysalis for the first time last night for our story progression. I don’t know if it’s true, but it sure seems like a tank will hit the queue, in three to five mins, if it doesn’t pop, they drop and probably queue up again to find something faster. As a DPS, I’ll sit there for 40 mins only to watch the queue rotate through tanks (and sometimes healers). I even see tanks bailing in the queues themselves. This sort of tank will bail the moment it seems like the dungeon or instance is going to take longer than they’d like. That being said, there are also jerky tanks and people who only seem to tank not because they want to help lead a group, but because it gets them that insta-queue. I leveled PAL to 50, and while I haven’t done any higher level content yet, it’s not an easy job for me to play. I respect good tanks for the job they do.So, yes, I know it’s not just tanks that can be this way. I’ve run across impatient players of ALL classes.But things seem to change with end game story scenarios and hard mode dungeons. For the most part, the FFXIV community is a good bunch.I wanted to touch on a topic that bugs me a little – impatient tanks in FFXIV. Sadly, I’ve been struggling a LOT with getting any sort of fiction on the page, so I decided to blog a bit today to warm up. I also haven’t done much blogging this week due to trying to keep up with my word count for Camp NaNoWriMo. I really haven’t done a lot of FFXIV gaming this week since I’ve been involved with both Sims 4 and 7D2D.
