Suggestion: Split Leveling Roulette

Admittedly, this could just be my RNG, the role I play, the server im on, etc, but I'm throwing it out there. Since the release of stormblood, it's been pretty rare for me to land in an ARR leveling dungeon. Not to say I dislike the stormblood ones, but I do enjoy the ARR stuff as well and it would be nice to see them a little more often.

At any rate, I think it would be cool if there was a < 50 leveling roulette and a > 50 leveling roulette to give the ARR dungeons a little more exposure.

I second this, but for the reason that I would like to do leveling roulette and not get dungeons from level 15~30 when I'm level 65+.

Maybe 3 separate roulettes? Less than 50, Level 50~60 and Level 60~70; something like that? I like knowing the level range of what I'm getting myself into. I mean for some reason they have split Expert Roulette and Level 70 Dungeons now. So why not? Lol.

One thought comes to mind though. Perhaps the lower level roulettes would suffer from longer queue times if this roulette got split up so much.

The reason they don't is a good chunk of people wouldn't touch a 15-50 Leveling Roulette, myself among them. I hate getting Sastasha, Copperbell and Toto-Rak. So yes, please. Give me an option to never look at them again save for Mentor Roulette.

I doubt they'll do that. Look what happened to the 50 & 60 roulettes once SB hit - the policy seems to be merging roulettes when possible, not create new ones.
That said, I'm all in favor if the lower-end roulettes would also count for the tank mount achievements. Not only will there be more ways to get points for that that don't necessarily involve 61+ dungeons, but SB only has the 5 dungeons and that gets old after a while.

Honestly, I think the reason 50/60 Roulette is dead is because of the crappy amount of experience/rewards you get from it. I don't do it simple because I get more experience from SB beast tribes for a fraction of the time/effort compared to 50/60 Roulette. Which sucks, because I really like some of the level 50 and 60 dungeons.

Luck of the draw I guess. I feel like I haven't seen a leveling roul dungeon above Haukke normal in 6 months. XP

I’d like what the OP suggested just so I could avoid anything that syncs me below 50.

I think your experience is just a matter of bad luck combined with many people queuing up directly for SB dungeons due to needing that particular dungeon. The chances of getting a particular dungeon would depend on how many people in the queue want/are eligible for that dungeon.

Which is why it would be a bad idea to implement it, since you are likely not the only one who would do that.
The primary purpose of the roulettes is to provide a steady supply of people running dungeons that other people may need. If people start avoiding the <50 dungeons, everyone who just started playing would get much longer queues for the early dungeons.

Would be good as I'm currently just finished levelling monk and when I was level 69 I though one level roulette would ding me. I ended up in Copperbelt and was getting 500xp per kill instead of 20,000xp per kill in higher dungeons.not sure if the bonus at the end is adjusted to compensate but didn't level and left feeling if I'd got a SB or Late HW dungeon I would have. So had to waste my other roulettes on monk when I had hoped to get a boost on my nectar job with the remaining roulettes.
However, I can also see that removing the lowers would make queues longer as I'd only use them when levelling up to the cut off (liv.30?) and a bit extra till it becomes pointless due to low cost.

Luck of the draw. I've made full groups of 70s and we still get saddled with sastasha for leveling. No random newbie, all of us at the end of the sb story, and we get the very first one.

A split like this would likely have a negative impact on the lower dungeons. People like having their skills and rotations.

I would have much less of a problem with getting lower level dungeons for roulettes if the EXP gained within were proportionate to your level and not just from the bonus gained from the end of the run. I have the opposite problem as you OP in that I get too many ARR dungeons and not enough SB dungeons lol.

maybe 1 in 5 is below 51.

I very happy with this current system other then when I got The Aurum Vale 3 days in a row.

IF they made any changes to DR, leveling and 50 is I don't think you should be able to do it with a light party. You should have to do DR with max 3 players to get peopled leveled quicker.

I always get Sastasha T____T

Every single day.

I get the ARR dungeons all the time... and it drives me nuts sometimes, cause I'll go a week with totorak and tamtara. But either way, I think it would be come bloated really fast.

They'd probably have to nerf the rewards from it since it would add two more roulettes to the roster.

I think it's unnecessary honestly.

I've had the opposite experience of the OP. I only get ARR stuff.

This would be perfect. I've been levelling my tanks from 50-60 just with Levelling Roulette and 50/60 roulette, but you kinda guess what happens... I only get 50 or under dungeons... I dont know how to use my 50-60 abilities lol. I'm too scared to try Trials roulette because I know I will be a terrible tank until I learn my abilities :(

I have only got a SB dungeon once in all my runs :( Would love to see the split, though I understand why it's not very likely. And while Sastasha/Copperbell days in a row are pretty annoying, I don't mind an occasional Ifrit quickie haha.

Same issue here. For a while I was leveling my paladin prettymuch just by doing the MSQ roulette (while using DPS jobs in the busier queues) until I realised that I'm not getting any opportunity to start to practice my Lv50+ skills. I don't want to get it up to Lv70 and not know how to actually use it.

This is actually the main problem with all the roulettes, but leveling roulette especially. The algorithm/RNG is so poor that it only chooses from the same four-five dungeons.. out of what.. 30+ of them?

Everytime use leveling roulette now puts me in the vault. So I quit using it. Hate that dungeon worst.

They could just make the roulette choose a dungeon within 10 levels of the lowest level party member.
