    Low level duty roulette party

    I was bit surprised when I log in and tried to do a low level duty roulette and couldn't do it in a party like you can in expert/high level roulette? Why treat low level roulette any differently?

    The point of the low-level duty roulette is to:

    1) Lower queue times for low-level progression content by feeding higher level players into the queue who would otherwise have no incentive to do so

    2) Put experienced players into lower-level content to help and teach new players

    Allowing premades to use the low-level roulette would completely defeat the purpose.

    Something tells me there's only a very small minority that would always have a full party ready and raring to go for even low level roulettes.

    You realize that by not allowing people to queue for the roulettes together your more likely to have them not run. I'd gladly queue as my blm with a tank/healer from my FC and just do the roulette for the bonus but I don't have time to sit in the long DPS queue on my blm most days.

    If they added that for low level roulette they'd likely make you ineligible for the bonus. Being able to run as a party and still get the bonus for High and Expert only hurts people who intentionally queue for Pharos lol Notice you can't do it for Trial Roulette either because like the low roulette it would very much hurt newer players who are looking for groups for story content.

    And how would this defeat the purpose exactly? If that's the case then they shouldn't have put it in the game at all because then 50's that Q for higher dungeon's aren't getting them either because of people having a full party so yeah.... wouldn't make a difference considering most of the time i might have 1 person with me i would like to see low levels in there. I personally haven't seen a difference in Q times for high dungeons or anything as bard so i don't think it would hurt to put it in there so people can help out there free company when needed...

    I thought you didn't get the bonus for the roulette if you were in a pre-made, or is that daily bonus only?

    At any rate, couldn't you just pick the duty? If you're looking for some randomness, have the party leader check five low level duty boxes and register. 20% chance to get one of those randomly ^.^

    Just an idea.

    You don't get the Adventurer in need bonus.

    It makes sense to ban parties in low level and trials. That's where help from experienced players is needed the most.

    But some people said that allowing premade to any roulettes would defect above purpose before the patch...
    So why suddenly hi-level/expert no new players need to have help and teach?
    In fact allowing premade to use high/expert would defect the said purpose as well.

    IMO, roulette was made to motivate daily logon like those F2P games, as a online game, ARR wants you logon everyday. ^^;

    FOr what help and teach new players, you will do it anytime, not limited in roulette.
