Bounty Hunter System

This is a complete myth, as is the belief that it prioritizes duties with sprouts or first-timers. People spend hours waiting in Alliance Raid queues while Mentor Roulette just throws you into Praetorium and Alzadaal's Legacy over and over with no hesitation. The algorithms are undoubtedly faulty, however cryptic they may be.

The 3.2 patch says "Mentors will also gain access to Duty Roulette: Mentor, which assigns players to duties that are struggling to fill party member slots", so maybe their definition of "struggling" is the same as it is for all other roulettes rather than those that have been in the queue for a long time.

The 3.2 patch says "Mentors will also gain access to Duty Roulette: Mentor, which assigns players to duties that are struggling to fill party member slots", so maybe their definition of "struggling" is the same as it is for all other roulettes rather than those that have been in the queue for a long time.

Yes, but this is a fundamental flaw in my opinion, because the amount of traffic going through the basic duties will get that person their run rather fast, with or without the mentor being funneled into it, whereas it completely kills the other harder content because any person queued in the roulette will get funneled to move other things faster along the line.

Just because a Sastasha run is "struggling" to get a healer within 10 seconds of a new player being queued, that doesn't mean it's really struggling, or that the run will take any more than 5 minutes to fill up. Whereas a queue that's been in wait for 60 minutes would actually be the practical definition of struggling.

However, this proposed system isn't meant to replace any other in existence, it is meant to be a new feature added to the game thats a win - win for both new players and veterans alike. Since there is a monetary incentive for the veterans to continue logging on and playing the game at endgame and new players get to fill duties that would otherwise never run.

This would make the duty roulette much more functional than it already is, and it would reduce the need for Mentors to recommend new players to use the PF instead because they are wasting their time in the roulette. - a negative experience.
