Why are DPS so unappreciated, anyway? Tanks and Healers get snapped up almost as soon as they've clicked join, but DPS hang around for ages until there's finally room for them. Also, I've seen people not care if one DPS drops from a dungeon. Meh, we can do it without him/her; let's not bother waiting for a replacement. Are we truly so unneeded? Where is the love?! XD
It's pretty annoying on the other end too, by the by. Waiting on that one DPS (and sometimes tank or healer) to actually push the button so the roulette can finally start. It's even worse if it's something big - like one of the 24-mans - and you get stuck back waiting because a single DPS wasn't able to click in time for whatever reason.
... Though my ire at such things has actually made me start to do it a little. If I'm in the middle of something and it pops, I'm not as nearly in a rush to hit the okay as I used to be. If I'm feeling more cynical than usual and am expecting someone to fail to click, I'll keep wrapping up what I was doing (usually flying somewhere or clicking on something for a daily) right up until about the 10 seconds remaining.
So I'm basically coping with the problem by perpetuating the problem. However, the only time I've missed a queue pop is if I had actually stepped away for some reason or another and it decided just then that it wanted to come up.
