    Not sure why this didn't seem to get noticed on the first page but... Once more: They could allow 2-person queuing.

    New solo players get help. New group players get to play with friends. Oldbies with all their preferred classes at max level have the ability/incentive to go back and help new friends while also helping new players.

    "Win-Win", I think is the term?

    BECAUSE WAITING 3 HOURS FOR QUEUE AS DPS MAKES SENSE.

    You're on the more popular NA data center, and since ques seem to be fixed or reverted back or whatever, it should be back to 45 min or less. Has been for me.

    this is the worse kind of fear-mongering with no basis in fact. do we have 200% echo for Titan HM? nope. there is almost 0 support for 4 man pre-made for Leveling roulette.

    I love the system as it is today, however all I ask is, could it be better... To that, I think it can, and like you said, I take no issue with there being a reduced reward for parties entering the level roulette together, but the question at hand, is... Would this roulette and the player base benefit from having it support parties (2 - 4) getting to play together, and help out others, as well as each other, or would it hurt the roulette... The only way I can see us finding out, is if they allowed it, and then did a compare on the data from before and after.

    I rarely queue for leveling roulette. When I do, it's usually because I'm trying to make leveling an alt go a bit faster, usually at very low levels, and even then it's not very often. Don't think I've touched it in weeks.

    When leveling whm, I queued up for specific dungeons with a tank from my FC. Did dozens of runs with the 2 of us, occasionally pulling in other FC members (letting them know what happened and asking if they want to queue in progress) if people bailed on our groups. I've also had multiple players in my FC (several of them completely new to the game) ask if anyone wants to group up for roulette, only to learn that they can't. We usually end up just queuing specific, or they just go in alone and everyone keeps doing their own thing. It gets a bit frustrating at times.
