The Expert roulette design is extremely bad

[Puremallace]

Not sure how many others feel this way but Endwalker had by my count 8 dungeons. When I look at the Expert Roulette no matter the expansion it is the same 3 dungeons recycled over and over and over.

I find this to be a horrible use of developer resources and time. What is the logical reason for not having all 8 dungeons in the expert queue?

Do you know what an expert dungeon is?

Ofc it will be 3 dungeons, because only those 3 are the level 90 ones (duh).

When .1 releases, the expert dungeons may change to another one, and the same will appply for .2/3/4/5 content.

Since it's garbage and not worth the time

What I gather from your comment, is that it is somehow a flawed design or a bad choice of resources that expert roulette is consistently updated as new dungeons are released in later patches? This makes absolutely zero sense.

And no one is twisting your arm to run it. Expert roulette is entirely optional. Are you sure this comment is even your own? Because this doesn't make any sense either. As it stands now, expert roulette is the most efficient means to acquire the latest tomes. Hell, even without the daily bonus just running the dungeons involved in the roulette is the best way I can think to farm your currency.

You have blown my mind.

There's a *lot* of problems with the dungeons in this game.

Not making people do leveling dungeons for endgame isn't one of them.

Expert roulette is optional. If you don't enjoy it do something else.

Then stop begging tanks to queue. Not a fan of FF14 devs copying much from WoW but this is one area of the MMO that has some serious weakness to it. What is the actual point of developing these instances during an expansion if you see them at most once every few years?

It just seems like a pointless waste of resources that is easy to fix with a change to the gear they reward or lvl the mobs scale up too. Noone really cares much about the gear but I would like to see it switched up.

lol waste of resources, well you did sort of hit the head there. That's why they only make one additional expert dungeon in subsequent major patches instead of two. They use the resources to work on other endgame content in the game such as Bozja.

Leveling roulette covers all leveling dungeons in the game, you just get a choice if you want XP or daily tomes bonus from it.

What? How does this have anything to do with anything said in this thread. Or is this just a poor attempt at epeening "I'm a tank!" ?

And this is a reach even by super-hyperbole standard. New max level dungeon will carry on for at least 2 patch cycles, no way you gonna be doing them at most once. In fact, it's because they are probably the most often done dungeon that the dev chop them out every 2 patch to reduce the redundancy. I for sure don't want to do Deadend ever again in 6.3 or 6.5
