    Suggestion to prevent roulette abuse

    May be in the wrong section but here goes

    My suggestion is kinda complicated but I'll try to explain as clearly as possible

    What I'm suggesting is that each roulette has its instances in a Poole,I.e once you've ran a dungeon it can't come up until-
    A.you do the other dungeons in that roulette
    B.a weekly reset occurs

    I.e you get brayflox on the Monday you then have to complete halati and lost city or wait for weekly reset before you can get brayflox again

    This will also stop people getting the same low level roulette 4 days+ in a row

    It will also help because any1 fishing for a specific dungeon can only fish once before having to do the other two

    Feed back good or bad is appreciated

    Thinking the impact on queue times would outweigh the percentage of abuse related to roulette fishing. The main function of roulette is to broaden the potential duty outcome thus getting groups into duties faster. There's only really a single daily incentive for the largest offenders (tanks, in my experience) to use roulette for this. The larger problem (again, my exp) is the forced dc's after the second boss and this problem is largely (not 100%) unrelated to roulette.

    I think it may be a good idea, but only if it would be based on per-class basis. That is, if you get to brayflox with one class, you can't get to it with the same class, until you fulfill the mentioned conditions, but you can get to it with another class.

    Oh, and I think it should be optional. I do not really like getting one duty several times in a row, but some may actually need it.

    This is going to screw the low level people out of being able to use duty roulette since you don't have access to a weeks worth of dungeons till about level 30

    Except if there not unlocked there not in the Poole
    If you have 2 unlocked you'll get one then the other then it would reset

    Main points are
    1.no more dropping because "uh 5th time this week"
    2. No more Fishing roulette (you've already ran brayflox you gotta run the other 2 first)
    3."no point in doing roulette I've already run the dungeon I want"ill just queue the dungeon instead
    Yes queue times may increase BUT it'll be quicker than "ugh my tank/healer gone now I gotta queue for another 40 mins"

    It wouldn't if you read the idea properly
    "What I'm suggesting is that each roulette has its instances in a Poole,I.e once you've ran a dungeon it can't come up until-
    A.you do the other dungeons in that roulette "
    So once they have ran the dungeons available for their levels they can re-do them.
