    There are 17 Lv50 dungeons and there will be 11 Lv60 dungeons after 3.5. Even if you did only two dungeons a day, it would take two weeks.

    That aside, commuting the requirement to "unlocked" means fewer people will actually be queuing for the specific dungeons. As such, it's conceivable that the people who are running purely on "unlocked" credentials might never end up in and complete the dungeons they have neglected.

    The net effect on overall dungeon running populations would be negligible, as the people who begin running roulettes would be the same people who were running specific dungeons for unlocks anyway, and those who are not currently running dungeons for unlocks because it's not worth diverting time away from the main story would not run a significant number of roulettes because it would divert time away from the main story. The only real difference would be that the current roulette runners who want to run roulettes to help new people complete content will be funneled away from people selecting specific dungeons for completion and into more parties where nobody needs the content, and this is clearly undesirable.

    Those who want to unlock their roulettes should just queue for five dungeons that they haven't completed. There's no pressing need to open roulettes to people who haven't completed the content.

    Except that they can still just queue for those specific ones themselves if they so wish - all the roulette goers are "fillers" after all. That means for everyone who wants a specific piece of content, there will be more indifferent fillers available, because those who would fill indifferently no longer need to complete specific dungeons just to be able to fill. As such, you wouldn't funnel fillers away from people needing specific dungeons, there would simply be less people needing specific dungeons in the first place. How big that effect is...is debatable. I'd think newbies would like to see each individual dungeon once anyway.

    Agreed, though, there is no pressing need - it's a QoL change and QoL is low priority.
