I've been mostly lucky in my FFXIV career, since I main White Mage and this wasn't an issue and was able to level my Summoner to 80 by using Scholar. One of my other highest classes is Astrologian, also a Healer.
I've been trying to level my Dragoon (presently 68) and boy is it a chore. Early on I would work on my hunting log to distract me while I wait, but now I don't have that and there isn't much content I'm interested in while waiting. I don't enjoy crafting, and there is only so much I can do in my apartment.
Last night, Friday night after work - so prime time, I tried to do MSQ Roulette. It said 20 minutes. Okay whatever. This is already a huge time sink but I decided to just play a mobile game on my iPad while I wait. Well 20 minutes comes and I'm still 19th in line. 30 minutes come and I'm 11th. I log out.
I've had similar experiences trying to que for whatever the highest dungeon is (for me, Doma Castle right now). I know this isn't popular content but I would hope there are 3 other people in the grand scheme of the game that might que for this in less than a half hour.
Levelling roulette is okay but also can take up to 20 minutes.
It's really easy to get discouraged when half my free gaming time, or more, is taken up by waiting. I know other people posted in the past that they do housework, watch Netflix, etc. while waiting but this is a bit ridiculous.
