    When I start queue at the random dungeon as tank character. Matching finished within 10 sec.
    But using DPS character for it, It will never match. This unfair business makes fake role.
    ZOS must fix this problem.
    My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.
    I have [1Tough tank] [1StamSorc-DD] [1Necro-DD] [1Real Healer]
    with [1Stam Blade].
    But, I'm Tank main player. Recently I'm doing Healer.

    Absolutely not. If one dislikes someone, or if there are arrogant or incorrect people, they could give negative marks even to those who do not deserve them at all. Giving people such powers, who may be trustworthy or NOT trustworthy ... is very very dangerous.

    Exactly. There are people out there that would downvote everyone, just to be an ass.

    The one thing this would be used for most is to down vote the player that has the audacity to stop and kill a boss instead of sprinting past to the end boss. Slow down the player that just wants the key or is looking for a lead and you get marked down.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Just bad idea.
    No matter real/fake tank-healer, i just need fast run.

    You can ask real tank from friend or guild but not from DF tool.

    Here's a solution to the problem I posted a while back:

    Make queuing as a fake tank or healer an option that you can click, like a check box. Basically two check boxes, one that specifies that you are OK with replacing a tank with a DPS, and one that specifies that you are OK with replacing a healer with a DPS. You can still get a tank or a healer if you check one of the boxes, but you'd also be able to get other DPS'. Then, they just need to make fake tanking or fake healing a reportable and bannable offense, and actually crack down on repeat offenders.

    Zos give armory system and ppl still don't use it for switch role for rnd rvd/pledge.

    stupid problem need stupid solution.

    we all know dd is the most recurring role to fake tanking/healing.

    1: take battlespirit from pvp and apply it to dungeon finder to each role as form of buff /nerf.

    2: make healer/tank nerf all dmg done by 99 %

    3: look fake tank/healer tag and saw their dps sended into oblivion and become more useless and kickable.

    4:maybe they gonna think to run tank build the next time.

    problem solved.

    Why go after fake tanks? Downvote fake DDs who can't even hit 5k DPS mark, banish them into oblivion and for good measure curse their descendants for at least 5 generations. You'd reduce the DD queue times and possibly get the real tanks to start joining PUGs again.

    Exactly why it’s a great system, as long as it doesn’t negatively impact game performance

    Personally, I am glad to get a fake tank in normal dungeons. They more often than not better DDs than the actual DDs and you don't really need tanks for that content - healers even more so.

    And besides, where do you draw the line for being considered a fake tank? Being too squishy? Not taunting (enough)?

    There are plenty of DDs out there in the queues that barely deal any damage. What is supposed to happen to them? They are effectively "fake-DDing". Should they get punished too?

    And what about healers? Are they "fake" if there is 1 death, 10 deaths or 100 deaths in a run? Or are they already "fake" when you have to use a single heal/shield ability of your own? But then the effectiveness of a healer also depends on the healed player. Standing in AoEs or not avoiding certain mechanics may cost them their life, but doesn't necessarily mean that the healer is bad/fake. So where do you draw the line?

    The only real solution is for ZOS to make the content more difficult again so that you actually need a tanky player in your group and has to keep taunt up at all times. But I doubt that is what the majority of players want ... if they did, they'd be playing more veteran content than they are now.

    Yes, low rep for both fake tank and fake dd
