The official account of FFXIV Shanda ver. on Chinese social network posts their interactions with Yoshida regularly and even a recent visit to JP headquarter, giving me an impression that what they do are all permitted by SE. And many Chinese players see this as an experiment on their server before SE actually decide to apply it for all the servers.Quote:

I imagine the new algorithm will move your placing to different duties based on how soon it will be ready and how long you have been in the que.Quote:

Most likely we wont see silly party compositions in raids where we have 4 brds in party A and 4 blms in party B and 2 sch's in party C when both party A and B have all whm healers. An algorithm to make looting less competitive for dps and favor diversity for greater stat boosts across the board.

However newbies will not be able to get any exp through the whole dungeon if there's someone with a lvl gap >11. And they even wrote this in preview version of patch note: if newbies really want to lvl through dungeons, they'd better use PF instead. I can see nothing but a newbies' nightmare...Quote:

03-31-2015, 04:20 PMJimboTCBYeah, there's definitely weird stuff going on sometimes. I quite often have the DF window up while I'm doing other stuff so I can guess how long I've got until it pops, and I'm always seeing already-queued roles drop off the list.Quote:

And then there's times when you get randomed into a low-level dungeon where all four members are synced down but nobody actually specific queued for the place. That just seems wrong.
