    That's exactly what I meant, for them it makes sense to utilize unused assets, for the players however it just seems rather pointless running a level 15 dungeon when no-one needs it and the lowest member is say level 35. For players it'd be better if the roulette chose more appropriate content for the current level of the lowest member of the party. Maximise the bonus exp from a higher level dungeon etc.

    Obviously this is a 'roulette' where anything could pop out but it's like going to a casino and knowing that 00 is pretty much guaranteed to drop every spin of the roulette wheel, which is what is happening with Sastasha, so it's not really proper roulette when 9 times out of 10 the result is the same.

This way the Level 38 and 45 players can get the most xp possible in their roulette attempt. No reason that group of players should get Sastasha just because no one is in there.
    This is how I assumed and hoped duty roulette would work. If there are multiple dungeons at a given level perhaps then it could/should consider which "content is lacking players."

    The added bonus of doing what Estellios suggests is that the lower level player benefits from the experience by learning from more experienced players. What I currently find in Sastasha etc is a speedy spam fest with no communication and lots of bad habits being formed.

    It would be cool if they split it up, and did Low Level, Middle level(?), and High level, and then Story mode roulette. That is what I thought it was going to be like D: I am about sick and tired of the level 15,16,17,20 dungeons xD

    I like that idea as well. Have Low Level be Sastasha through Haukke Manor, Mid Level be Brayflox through Aurum Vale, and High Level be all of the non-story level 50s.

    I have literally done tam tara every day since 2.1, except for one copperbell, halatali, and two sastasha runs. It's to the point where I don't queue for roulette because tam pops every single time. I'm all for giving the lowbies a leg up, but you can't honestly tell me that every player under 50 is queuing for tam tara. Just some variety, that's all I'm asking for

    I like it the way it is or at least leave out the farming dungeons ie WP I never ever do WP via DF (pug) due to always getting players who want to speed run it and for me I hate that type of game play or at least make it so we can use either party finder or group up with FC members then run it via DF.

    Really? I get the feeling nobody wants to SR it anymore unfortunately. Neither in DF (if you even manage to get a group there) nor via shouting in Mor Dhona...

    yup there are still peeps yelling for SR for WP and I am loathed to even try DF again as I will just up and leave the group if they want to SR which is unfair on them and me with a lockout lol

    the whole group can get out without a lockout if you decide to kick a single party member and the rest can just leave unharmed too
