I doubt ZOS cares. Reporting probably won't have any effect. People doing it are considered scum of the earth by other players.

Sometimes it’s sucks to sit in that’s queue as a DD for 20 minutes but for the good of everyone people really need to queue for their own roles. Especially if it’s a DLC or any vet dungeon. Some premade groups of 1 tank and 3 DD’s can pull some of that stuff off but for PUG you never know what you are going to get.

Increase all our chances on clearing the dungeon efficiently and queue for the correct role.

It's legit in that you are able to do it. I doubt it's reportable, but there are 3 other people there that may not like a "fake" role and they do have the power to boot you if they choose to.

Basically, you can do what you want, but be willing to accept consequences for any actions you do.

20 minutes is probably the case if you're just doing a random dungeon. trying to get into a normal dlc dungeon could take hours, if the queue pops at all. I was trying to farm Cradle of Shadows and couldn't get a queue to pop at all as a dps, but when I queued on my healer, I got in a lot quicker but the dps was horrible, even by normal dungeon standards. Instead of spending an hour in a normal dungeon with snipe spammers, I queued as a tank with inner fire on my petsorc and just taunted everything and melted them down. That way the group had actual damage, and didn't have to potentially deal with a tank running everything around the room which makes it take longer to kill stuff.

I usually get my random normal queues pretty fast. It’s the vet queues that take a little longer but groups generally seem to be more reliable and often it’s 2 or 3 guys looking to fill their groups. I’ve had some crazy good luck with all of them lately even if I have had to wait a little longer.

This is entirely controllable by the community. If someone isn’t performing their role (“tank” with no taunt, “healer” will all-out dps) and it is causing the group to be less effective, initiate a vote to kick. If the vote passes, the group has spoken about what’s important and the player faking a role is inconvenienced. If it happens consistently, people will stop queuing for fake roles because their odds of getting kicked for it will be high.

But if the vote doesn’t pass, the majority in the group don’t care. If it’s not important to people, nothing needs done about it.

I would suggest if this were true on even a semi-broad scale then we would no longer have fake tanks and healers because players would be vote kicking them from the group most of the time.

Problem being the queue time. Players are willing to tolerate a fake tank or fake healer for most normal dungeons and even some vet ones if it means not having to wait for another half hour after already being in a long queue.

Isn't there a way if the game automatically giving you a role based on your stats such as health, resistance, etc

Try slotting aoe skills and support skills to help with the algorithms. All classes have access to Arrow barrage, Caltrops, Echoing Vigor and Purge. If you slot skills mainly for pvp and que for a dungeon, it will take a long time.

Play prime time weekend hours and only slot pvp skills, then que for a dungeon. I guarantee you the que will be over an hour.

I mostly play in graveyard hours but I never have problems going into dungeons.

If you really want to go farm a set at a certain dungeon then you can physically go there and enter the dungeon by yourself. For example, Unhallowed grave is in Bangkorai. Go solo, and chances are you will run into a group that’s already there. We don’t know how many unhallowed grave “pocket dimensions” there are, maybe 10 or 20, but I don’t think the game generates an entire dungeon for a group, that’s too much server load. “Instance full”, or having 6 people in Wayrest sewers is common. It’s not a bug, not an exploit, it’s been there for a long time. Literally Reddit posts and yt videos showing it. FYI, I took a break since the dark cloak nerf, I came back and the dungeon thing is still there.

Story from today:

Fake tank on vet Blackheart Haven, oh joy. Naturally, everyone wipes the moment I (ie the Healer) is skellified.
Fake tanks analysis? "Bro, just cleanse the skelly effect. You're the healer."

Dude was a Nightblade running double bows, spamming endless hail, heavy attacks and snipe. And nothing else.
