Dear Duty Roulette:

[amnie]

[snip] I'm now at haukke level range. I haven't done anything higher than Halatali a *single* time, not even once. (even Halatali is rare) I'll be soon at Brayflox's level, and haven't even gotten to try out some of my abilities yet. Even when using another higher level job, I've never been put in anything higher than Halatali.

you know what's funny? by only having unlocked up to Haukke, you are actually part of the problem :P

50% of the dungeons you've unlocked are the starter dungeons, so you alone already have a 1:1 chance of getting one of them. now we take in the chance of being grouped with someone who is lower than you and that chance rises more and more

(though you seem to be extra unlucky, I have to admit that. even on my latest lowbie char where I haven't even unlocked Toto Rak yet I've already gotten Ifrit in DR twice )

They never said they've only unlocked up to Haukke Manor. They said the class they're leveling with Duty Finder is now UP TO Haukke Manor's level range, and heading towards Brayflox Manor.

I also tend to get shafted with one of the three starting dungeons. Highest I've seen so far has been Toto Rak, with my L48 White Mage. But, seeing as how Christmas just ended and there's a new influx of people thanks to gifts and the 50% off discount that SE ran, it's understandable.

eh. they won't have any other dungeon unlocked for that class, no matter if they have them unlocked in general or not. if you're say... lvl 30... you only have up to haukke unlocked. you won't be able to queue for anything higher, even if you've done them on a different class that is already 50. did I really have to mention that?

I do statistics for a living. it's working exactly as I said. you will always have a much higher chance to get one of the starter dungeons because the dungeon is decided by the lowest level member of the group.

I think you're being more confusing than you intend to here. There's a difference between unlocking a dungeon and being of-level for the dungeon. The way you said it in the first statement was that they hadn't UNLOCKED the content yet, which made them "part of the problem." Re-evaluating what you said, I understand it better now.

I think the issue here, though, is that more people are getting the lower-leveled dungeons because...more people are queuing for them, plain and simple. The majority of people in the level range of Stone Vigil, Brayflox's Longstop, Haukke Manor, etc. are using the Duty Roulette to level up, rather than queuing for dungeons in their range, which would create a need for Duty Roulette players to go there.

In other words, if you're tired of getting stuck in low-level dungeons, queue for one within your level range to create the demand that Duty Roulette will supply.
