    Mid-Range Duty Roulette Please?

    I've really enjoyed leveling my lancer up through dungeon content, low level duty roulettes have been fast queue's and fun times. But now that i'm level 26, i'd like to start doing mid-range dungeons to continue to level up. However, every time i try to queue for a level appropriate dungeon, my wait times are upwards of 30-45 minutes each time. Everytime i do low level roulette, i get at most copperbell, which doesnt give very good exp nor let me use some of my newer skills to learn how they are utilized.

    So...can we get a mid-range duty roulette to give some incentive for more tanks and healers to get into those?

    I support this simply because another tier = another set of rewards. >_>

    When you reach "mid range" levels, you gain access to mid range dungeons in the same queue. So other than an excuse to add another roulette bonus, I don't see a reason to split those dungeons off. You get bonuses to compensate when you roll the lower tier dungeons to compensate for the discrepancy in the amount of kill EXP you earn.

    Are you sure? Like i said, ever since I started leveling in the dungeons, I only get copperbell in the best case scenario, most times i get sastasha or totorak, occasionally a ifrit which gives nothing for exp.
    As for the bonuses, when i queue and wait an hour for halatali, i got 2k exp ish per mob kill, whereas in totrak i get 700 ish. that isn't close to a compensation...

    EDIT: also, when doing these dungeons, i dont get to use my newer skills, so even if they gave me same amount of exp, i'm not growing as a lancer in skill, just number :/

    I doubt the reward for the in-demand role is really high enough to make people play that specific role to begin with. I know I don't really pay attention to it and still use the class I want to play for DR (granted I can only speak for myself in this)

    30 min is not too bad though. if these are really unbearable, find a friendly tank or healer to queue with you. have you tried with the party finder instead of duty finder?

    Supporting because I'm sick of Sastasha... it was bad enough having to endure the theme of that place one time, now you want me to do it everyday... no, just no.

    The roulette is giving the starter 4 dungeons because theres a rather high population of players going through them. Ive been given Brayflox on low level Roulette.
    Honestly, i think you people are exaggerating quite a bit on queue times. I leveled my Monk purely through dungeons in the first month of release, my queue times then were about 25 - 30 minutes each. Now, leveling my DRG in 2.1, my Stone Vigil queues were about 10 minutes each, with one even being instant (pure luck im sure). Hell, even my DD specific queue only took 15 minutes.

    if you REALLY do get 45+ minute queue times, you may be on the wrong server or just playing at the lowest possible DF population times.

    So...wait. I have an issue with the game, come and talk about it, get agreed with, and suddenly all of us are lying. cmon now. If it was going great i wouldnt be here asking for something to fix it, i'd be, you know, in game, enjoying myself.
    Please stop. Loosen the tin foil a little bit.

    EDIT: also, the Duty Finder matches people from all servers, does it not? So there goes that part of your suggestion

    If all servers were in the same DF queue, would not my queue time experience be the same as yours? It is clearly not. I said the claims are being exaggerated. Not that people were telling lies. Without screenshots, recent ones, of being in the queue for 45+ minutes, constantly, on standard 4man dungeons, I'll continue to call the claims exaggerated.
    The average time spent in DF on my DRG has been 10 - 15 minutes.

    If we're all in the same pool, You'd still have periods of low population in the DF, when people are doing dailys, raids, or tome farming.
