    The problem is that they risk people running everything, capping in a couple days, and not playing for the rest of the week. That screws over people with less free time or can't play on Tuesday or Wednesday because their queues will be longer. If their queues are longer, it's more likely they get frustrated with the game and unsub.

    I believe people are more likely to quit over running two dungeons over and over until they get sick of them than long queue times, but I don't see that happening regardless. Back when the CT weekly quest I could do it of any day of the week (even 1 before reset) and get in very quickly, people are going to be running them every day of the week, you might get 5-10 minutes of longer queues but that's not going to make anyone quit (unless there's a Tank out there that would quit over the sight of even 1/4th of a DPS queue).

    5-10 minutes of extra queue time is a very worthwhile "risk" (there's really no risk there) to give the players more variety. And who's to say everyone's going to run everything to begin with? I certainly wouldn't, probably do expert roulette one day, run Alexander a few times the next, High Level Roulette + Frontlines the next, that sounds absolutely amazing to me. I'd much prefer that over what we have now.
