This. Very much this. CF doesn't have the playerbase anymore to really justify keeping someone waiting for that long, people are already getting bored and deleting like it's nothing because there's no real investment. You can say that "You should just RP" but that ain't easy when there's only a handful of people on. I'd love to be able to play a healer, since those were always my favorite support class, but I don't really have the patience for empowerment anymore, nor do I feel like most of the IMMs mesh well with my style of play.
