    Fix leveling Roulette please.

    There needs to be a minimum 10 level difference in the dungeons you get for leveling roulette. I've taken the 30min penalty three times in a row now because as a level 66 tank, I've gotten Bardam's Mettle all three times I've queued for leveling roulette. The xp bonus you get at the end is not worth the daily. It needs to be restricted to lower level dungeons, like if you're level 65, it should only unlock dungeons from level 55 down so it doesn't feel like you're burning your leveling daily for weak returns on the bonus.

    The exp you get from the mobs in the dungeon combined with bonus EXP at the end DEFINITELY worth the daily.
    Just because you dislike the dungeon doesn't mean the roulette is broken.

    The daily XP bonus you get at the end is higher for low-level dungeons to compensate for the fact that you got less XP from monster kills in there. Overall you probably get slightly more XP from an on-level dungeon simply because the mobs give so much more XP.

    Yeah, im sure the big exp bonus number at the end is impressive looking but these two are right. The dungeon kill exp plus the dungeon bonus exp for the higher level dungeon will end up being more. Plus you might get gear upgrades too. Most people who say that leveling is broken are complaining the opposite of you - they only want one of the 2 or 3 highest level dungeons theyre qualified for.

    Im starting to think your grasping at a weak argument due to the fact your stuck on the same dungeon.

    Cause I see the EXP promised gets delivered...admittedly these days I'm more for the Tomestones and occasional loot drop.
    And yes it gets a bit annoying when your gated to the same dungeon again-and-again-and-again.

    Roulette is a roulette, you have to be prepared to accept whatever might come up. Repeatedly leaving isn't fair on the other players in the dungeon who may have been waiting a lot longer than you to get in there, and their queue time is basically wasted now that tank has abandoned and a replacement may not happen.

    Top posts are right. You are getting more due to kill exp. You just don't notice it.

    So I'm finishing my second tank to 70 (69 PLD), what's the hate towards this dungeon in general? Why take the 30 min penalty?

    That's what I figured too, shouldn't I be getting more XP per kill in there compared to say Thousand Maws?

    I would get like this back in 2.0, but quickly realized it was due to me playing way too much. Once you get agitated it's time to log out. Now I log in, do a roulette if I want and enjoy what I get. Bardam's Mettle included.

    In general, leveling is so fast in this game I wouldn't think it made much of a difference no matter what you got for roulette. You finish the daily + challenge log you'll have a good boost in levels I'm sure.

    Its an extra kick to be sure.
    There's that too, which makes it even more a casual experience to level up. Just still don't see why that specific dungeon is a bad one? Or also how the 10 level difference would make anything better as suggested in the OP. I guess I was looking for a method to the madness, but in the end it seems to be just blowing off steam. Which is perfectly fine. Now we can all go back to saving the world and oiling down men in the hot springs for a quest giver.

    /raiseshand I'm past 66 and been dying since 1.0. I'll admit I didn't notice it, but I didn't notice it because like you said it evens out. I never look at the exact numbers and compare them. Now if I see a bunch of challenge logs and roulettes..first timers all roll out I like to look back and go "Look at all that XP right 'dere" But it isn't long lived, by then my cat is already annoyed I did a dungeon jumps up bites my elbow and we kung fu fight.

    Still.. #nowIknowSomething. I can take that knowledge with me to my grave..well not my grave but I'll at least think about it while I'm at Bojangles!

    And yeah - its easy to level up - just wish it was a bit faster...some times it feels like a drag out knock out fight to get to 50,60, and then 70. That last stretch is a pain.
