Dungeon Roulette Bias

[Callinon]

I've also noticed the dungeons you get the most depend on your role.

I've seen this stated a few times and it never made any sense to me. Doesn't every dungeon need every role?

Certain dungeons are run less and need more roles filled than others which get groups easily. If you play Healer in roulette it seems like you get Toto-Rak a lot. Tanks often seem to get Aurum Vale.

I feel like I can confirm this; as I was leveling CNJ/WHM (my first class to 50) I noticed I got dropped in Toto Rak a lot. Only a few times did I luck out. I got Brayflox for one run and Haukke for two others. I suppose you pull something for your role others in the same role don't normally do. I had a PLD in my second Haukke run complain about always getting stuck there or in Aurum Vale.

The BLM just said, "At least it's not Toto Rak." I had to agree. I'd prefer Aurum Vale; at least that dungeon is... not Toto Rak.

Healers who get Toto-Rak more than they'd like (and same for tanks with AV) can probably thank all the other healers and tanks who get the dungeon from Duty Roulette and instantly abandon their party. An analogy would be, those dungeons are like an undesirable table at a restaurant, and DR is like the maitre 'd who tries to seat every party there first so they can get rid of it... it's always going to try and put you there first because the people who came before you turned it down.
