    I meant more that you'd have less people available for lower level dungeons. Consider that some would use the lv50 roulettes to level in addition to leveling roulette, but if the bulk of your players on the latter is 50+ that means it'll be faster to get 50+ dungeon groups that it would be 1-49. Which in turn might lead to frustrated people buying a leveling potion to catch up and increase their chances of getting a group. At least, that's the scenario I see playing out, hence my comment about leveling potions.

    It's sort of like trying to create a top-heavy environment where there doesn't need to be one. We're not that far into the game's lifetime for that sort of thing to happen.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

There are always high level players running the mentor roulette, leveling roulette, etc. I don't think it will damage queue times really, at least not as much as we expect but then again we might be surprised. I can't speak to all servers, but after HW released I saw "Role Needed (DPS)" up damn near constantly. The only thing that will hurt queue times (in my opinion) will be everyone leveling whatever new job ends up being most popular. It's still a toss up what that may be. For all we know the next Job could be one that ends up even more popular than RDM.
