    I'm talking about all instances that one hasn't actually unlocked with msq yet. Although roulette contains all of them but if you don't unlock them you have to play the same ones over and over again.
    They're few and far between.
    They could add some non lvl or msq oriented dungeons.
    Or they could let the player draw from all of them anyway, the player would have to set it up themselves so it doesn't force others to spoil themself the story

    I'm currently in Stormblood, and I know that around the end of Dawntrail I'll be somewhere around the beginning of Endwalker with my play speed... then the next datadisc will come. And that's how a lot of people have it, not just me.
    In that time, I'll go crazy seeing the same dungeon every other day. And I already celebrate when I get to roulette one of the side dungeons I saw a year ago and I've only been there maybe 20 times in that time.

    Yes there is a possibility to give a few euro for skip story and lvl but I don't want to do that. I just want to have more varied dungeon play. It would be nice to give players the option to choose whether they want to play by msq or unlock all of them, knowing what they are doing.

    Datadisc? Really?

    Also, if you have no time to play, why are you running roulettes? Do the MSQ and unlock more dungeons.

    Why even run boring roulettes if you are that far behind on the story?
    Ignore the roulettes and focus on quests and story instead, and soon you won't be behind.

    Even side content, non MSQ, is full of spoilers. I have given examples of dungeons where their very environment is a spoiler.

    You mentioned you are in Stormblood. Have you done the Fractal Continuum from Post Heavensward? The zone is a spoiler in itself for someone in ARR. Maybe you can argue that a dungeon like Dusk Vigil is not much of a spoiler. But Sohm Al (Hard) or Great Gubal Library (Hard) from Post-heavensward would be much more of a spoiler for someone in ARR.

    If you intend those Hard Versions to not be included, then you're back to a limited selection.

    And I'm not sure how far into Stormblood you are. But Shadowbringers-onward, the selection of side dungeons is incredibly small anyway, and then we're also back to "Their existence is a spoiler" zone.

    I can see some merit in the concept if it's to allow for more variety in levelling other jobs once you've cleared the content once. It might be a bit jarring to see a level scaled Gladiator or Conjurer in level 30+ content though.

    I would appreciate having access to other dungeons when levelling other jobs as it can be very repetitive running the same content multiple times over.

    There are also people who don't really care about the story (yes I know, hot take) who just want to run content with their friends and have fun instead of being locked out of it unless they go speed through everything or buy BOTH a level and story skip.

    Balance and logistically speaking? I'm not a developer so I have no idea how they'd look at adjusting the lower level jobs for higher end content. I'll hold my peace lest I go into further rabbit holes...
