Roulette Abuse?

[moudoka]

My main class is tank. I don't get why these others tanks have to give the good ones a bad name. There has only been ONE dungeon I dropped out of...when I was on a DPS, because of idiot party members. However, as a tank, I stay in it. I know many of the DPS have to wait forever (I always do on my Arcanist or Dragoon), and it's not fair to them to have to wait. There are some dungeons I dislike with a passion, but I still run them, because, well, everyone needed it at the time. Try not to forget about us good tanks, we are out there.

I'd prefer you just get your choice of the "roulette". It's still just one bonus per category per day (call them "bonus" dungeons instead, if you like). This gives incentive to participate in all levels of dungeons, and without the problem of people dropping from instances they dislike. I would split the "low" level into 2 though, about 1-31 low, 31-49 medium, something in that ballpark.

Now, without the "roulette" part, you have a very easy way to stop people leaving. If you leave a "bonus dungeon", no more bonuses for you that day. Disconnections need to log back in within a set time, or take the penalty. If you choose to do a bonus dungeon, you cannot initiate, or vote on a kick.

(as I only have 1000 chars....)

Will people game this, and will some dungeons be more popular than others? Of course. Fact is, the tanks/healers are already making a choice by leaving before the instance even starts, some are kicking the low level players who are the people they are being "rewarded" for helping, already dungeons are being favoured over others. However it should mean far more instances (no matter how long you waited for it) end up completed the first time.
