    Separate it out and you don't get enough people queuing for CT? That is a storyline bottleneck.

    The rewards would have to be tremendous to encourage people to encourage people to queue in the CT list, or you end up with a ton of aggravated players.
    Which is where MSQ roulette fits in, people only do it for the huge exp gain so if you add in CT then it shouldnt be a problem at all since theres always people leveling jobs or farming tomestones.

    I would like that theyd increased the exp gain from it if they ever do that but Im thinking very simply here

    But how would you allocate people in a MSQ roulette?

    Because you now have two options with varying numbers of people:

    1. A set of 3 dungeons that require 4 people
    2. A set of 3 dungeons that require 24 people

    When people queue, do you send them into the 24 group or the 4 group?

    A system would need to be designed where people currently going through the story get priority on the queue. But, this could always leave people waiting about. If you have 3 story players (for instance) queuing for each individual raid, and then 3 story players come along that want to queue for the dungeons, you have 81 spots that need to be filled (this is assuming that there are no issues with party composition) for everybody to get into a position where they can continue the story. This could result in some rather hefty queues for some players.

    Getting into a 4 man dungeon now as a DPS is lengthy, but not too bad. Now, imagine if you were competing against 24-mans too.
