Petition about the Duty Roulette Leveling

First i want to apologize if this as been discussed before.

I don't going to complain about exp, Gil or people... no, this time the topic isn't that. My "problem" about the Roulette its with the dungeons you get in, i mean, how many times all your party members are level 45+ and you have to do Satasha, tam tara or TOTORAK (god i hate that one), i understand that Roulette its for help the newcomers with they history dungeons but if the lowest level in my party its level 45... We can get Darkhold instead? the Highest level he can enter (example).

I want to know the people opinion and Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.:D

Agreed, that makes so much more sense.

Roulette is roulette..RNG. Chooses between lowest and highest. Just happens to pick the highest. Working as intended.

Even if it is questionable..

Actually it puts priority over instances that arent being used at that very moment, or arent being used as much.
I forget why FFXIV does it that way, but it helps SE more than it helps us.

In short, ppl dont stay low level forever, so we either get into them because they arnt being used enough, or because someone actually needs it.
(Though when ppl complained it was the same dungeon over and over, yoshida said he'd allow the system to occasionally pick higher level dungeons, to which i assume that update already came out.)

Yeah, I also experience this quite often. And it's just weird. I don't mind doing Sastasha or even Toto-rak (don't understand people's issues with that place tbh o.o) when there is even just one person in the party who's of the appropriate level (and potentially doing it for the story). But when everyone's 10-20-30 levels above and is only there to actually level their Nth job? I don't see why the roulette couldn't prioritise a dungeon that's actually closest to whatever the lowest level in the party happens to be.

I love totorak it so makes me think of The Great Deku tree from Legend of zelda ocarina of time right down to type of mobs we fight, and the final boss and its post complete enterence cs.

But ya it called roulette for a reason iyts a dice role, could just que for just DD or something.

But i agree it weird.

I agree, it would be nice if it could somehow take into consideration the average level of the party members and give an appropriate dungeon.

I like having access to a broader range of skills but its worth pointing out that experience wise there is very little difference in what dungeon you get. The reason for this is you get a lot more bonus exp for doing a dungeon way below your level than you do for doing one close to your level. For example in one case I got maybe 600k exp from a Sastasha run and only 100k for a Aery run.

Toto rak is long and one of the first dungeons with a boss with that poison pool mechanic.

Uh... your not complaining about gil/exp or whatever... so what exactly is your issue? Russian roulette keeps putting you into a dungeon you don't want to do and you want to be put into a dungeon you WANT to do? o.o

It's a RNG roulette... if you want to do a specific dungeon, then go pick that one instead. Why, just why... >.>

I love roulette RNG, especially when it comes to queuing for Frontlines @ 60...if your queue time suddenly jumps from ~10 min (for example) to "more than 30" congratulations, you just won the RNG lottery and got RANDOMLY selected to suffer a super long queue because some level 59 and under decided to do PvP...aka time to re-queue before you get stuck in something that is not going to give you the proper reward for the amount of suffering you will go through.

I keep getting the same small number of dungeons, even when all players are 50+ and no one is new. With trials its either Chrysalis, steps or Dragons neck.

Levelling, been getting Dysmal Derphold for the last 2 weeks every... single...day.

The OP wants dungeons that are similar to her/his level if the rest of the part are also of similar level, not just dungeons she/he has decided 'I want to do that one today.'

I love queuing for low level roulette and only getting sastasha or totorak. Especially at 60, where low level roulette includes every dungeon but fractal and alwaysweep. Hell, even at sub-60 I still manage to get those two.

I really don't mind any dungeon. I just wish we could queue in a party like Expert and High. It is for this reason that I rarely, if ever, do low/leveling roulette.

Fix the Trials Roulette while you're at it. Im sick of always getting the Ascian guy and occasion Steps of Faith lol. But no seriously, Im sick of seeing the Ascian dude....

It'd be nice if there was a way to exclude 1-2 dungeons from the roulette, especially at high levels when you can do quite a few dungeons. I can see why it probably won't happen buuuut...

I really dislike Toto-Rak and AV. I tend to avoid doing the roulette at all aside from the occasional run for the daily or AIN bonus or at very low levels because of it. :/

What I don't understand is, I got into a team of 4 people, all of them were lv 54+ synced but we were still given toto-rok or copperbell mine or worse, sastasha...
If there's one member or more who are still lv 12 or something (unsynced) then it's understandable if they give me sastasha, but 4 lv 54+ on sastasha?

They gave me Qarn normal for 4 straight days last week, with all members were all 50+, it was frustrating, how am I gonna learn my class well if I am always given sastasha or toto-rok. I only have 2 hours of gaming time on weekdays, I couldn't do dungeons again and again.

What I always do after got back home from work is ex roulette and then leveling roulette, then I'm already too tired to do another dungeon, so I'm hoping to practice my skill of the class while leveling it in leveling roulette, but sadly, it's always sastasha, copperbell mine, toto-rok and qarn normal. :(
