Low Level Roulette Solo Only... Why?

[Souljacker]

For a community that places such emphasis on playing with a group and getting to know the players on your server, you sure get up in arms when someone asks for more team-based things to be possible.

The duty finder isn't for "newer" people. The help system is. The Guildhest system is. They should also implement a mentoring system like we had in XI.

The low level duty roulette is a grouping system to facilitate the leveling process. It has an add effect of sometimes teaching new players the game, but it's not there solely for that purpose. This is the only game that predicts doom and gloom around every corner with respect to systems that have worked in other games for years upon years. What is so different about FF players that it's not possible to allow friends to group together?

Aside from that, some of you really have some issues with basic math. 4 players queuing is 4 players queuing whether they are in a full party or not. If those four players all queued as tanks, perhaps it would speed up the line, but not as the individual roles that compose that full party. Adding another dps slot to make parties 5 man (or even 6 man like XI was) would make queues faster.
