Queuing for CTA is Impossible - Frustration High

I am trying to get into the queue for the CTA event and I am at my breaking point right now. This new queuing restriction where the teams have to be 3dps 1heal 1tank is making it impossible for me to get into a queue. Yes, I could make a group and I have tried making one but usually when I'm on the servers are pretty dead and no one is looking. I know this event is only 4 days long, and I would like to make the 3 Token of Heroes I can so I can get the sweet Griffon, but I can't even get into *one* CTA, let alone *ten*.
How is this fair? Yes, I'm a DPS and now I feel punished for being so. If as I read in a post earlier the Neverwinter population was 5% healers, does that means that the rest of the 75% (5% healer, 5% tank, 15% dps get in) now have to suffer and not get into a queue? Before anyone suggests it, again, I have tried making groups and I also understand the private groups don't have to have the tank or healer, but I am tearing my hair out trying to get into one of these things.
The last CTA was an easy click the queuing button and BAM you're in. Sure you're team most likely sucked, but I could handle it. Now I'm being punished for choosing the character I wanted to play as opposed to one that is more demand. PLEASE DEVS PLEASE FIX THIS *cries*

I'm shocked by this
I remember past instances of this event were cakewalks - those you could solo with minimal effort. Not anymore.
And as others have noted - the rewards do not remotely equate with the level of effort required to finish.
I only have an issue with the purple rage drake and battle horn. I got 1 of each the first cta I ran a few months ago, so any others I get now are just a waste. I wish each cta had something unique other than the vanity pets.
The change? Just no, $#$* no. I might be in a minority on how many characters I run but do the devs honestly understand how long it takes to run 10 of these $%^&* things per character when you want to do 10+ characters a day? It's not fun to sit there by a screen for 8+ hours and now you want to pad even more time to do it by classes? I think whatever you are doing at the office take a step back from the screen and actually look at what you do for anything you touch lately because it far reeks on how much you just don't play this game and just push things out. From the failure mod 16 was on its launch to breaking mod 17 on its launch you're going to wreck one of the only good events you had going just so people have to take an even more absurd amount of time finish it feasibly. Do you know how much of a pain it's going to be on console to even find that percentage of people? Let alone the numbers of people that would even be able to complete it in a timely manner? You want 10 runs and people should be able to clear it within 3 mins TOPS per run there's no excuse. What you're proposing is extended time due to how many more characters will be far lower due to alts made to compensate, but also ruining those of us who planned to use certain characters in runs not for this set up. I purposely ran 24 in guar's to get 3 tokens each and most of those classes were dps so I could be done with the runs and get all my characters their gryphons. Now I'm definitely in the minority of how many characters i have (55) but for anyone that even has about 10 or so it's just not right to pull that rug out from under us or anyone for that matter. Had I known you would have done this, I would have did more variation in the runs to prevent this type of HAMSTER from happening with using different characters. It's not cool and very anti consumer to change things where you THINK they will just work. STOP IT. It's an unnecessary change and doesn't make balance where it's not needed. You fail to understand how any of your queues work these days from how badly you didn't listen to those who told you time and again on your preview shards on how 16 worked and still pushed it through and how much of a player base you lost.
You know where the time should have went on this? How about fixing the exploitation of the afk leechers during these events? Where's that fix? You have an absurd amount of 15k+ il players purposely sitting at the entrance EVERY SINGLE SKIRMISH that refuse to even bother to assist for whatever reason. There's no excuse for this and in turn makes them drag out far longer, and now you throw in class requirements? Wonderful.
I bet if you had a zen boycott you just might see things a bit more clearly. Because you know how things are going with everything, the players that are left are probably gonna do something like that. Just saying because when you upset a lot of people, they won't pay for things. Rule of thumb for entertainment, keep your customers happy because if you don't someone else will.
Hi - sorry, I am not very familiar with the neverwinter queue system.
Is it possible even to solo the CTA skirmishes? As far as I know, the only way to get into the CTA skirmish is to queue for them, wait for everyone to accept. Is there a way to bypass this to get in solo?
(not that I would want to) - but I was always curious to know if it is possible to get into certain skirmishes/dungeons as solo.
Seriously. "LF CTA" got only one answer u get, often pm'd: "Why you even running it".
Events (except TOO) should be able to RQ, and if an event doesn't pop something is very wrong.
Enforcing the trinity <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> on players after years of running the same events for the same kind of rewards (and/or RNG) is just a sign of how far devs and players are drifting apart.
TL;DR sure you can solo it. Why would you want to, tho.
To the post above: Solo and premade are private queues. You can queue everything in the window solo, two ppl or so on... You can also solo Tomm and see how fast he kills you, funnier than MEs! Think its the second "tab" in the queueing window, try it out on something easy.
There is a reason many people got just dps mains. The answer is not 10k AD more or less for it (the cap is still there lol)
To check scaled content, just choose to solo queue, when you jack in stand by the campfire and adjust your stats accordingly.
This event is harder now and doesn't worth the rewards. So, even less people are going for it. Why do that for Tokens to buy outdated stuff?

thank you jules/agilesto - I guess I just never took the time to understand the queue system, but I see that private tab now. I will try this out. I remember a few years back trying to solo content, and remember reading at the time that certain dungeons were no longer soloable, so I thought that grouping had become a requirement.
I hope the Devs at least read some of this because these restrictions are getting to be too much and it makes me sad that I will have to find another game to play, when I've spent so much time and effort AND MONEY into this game. Again...why am I being punished? This whole game is one big punishment. You wanna play DPS? PUNISHED!!! You wanna not play with AFKers? PUNISHED!!!! You wanna have multiple toons? PUNISHED!!!!
