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.

That would be a more compelling argument if the people who want to form parties weren't already friends with the people they want to party with.

Your right the duty finder is not for newer people. However the rewards for agreeing to complete the low level duty roulette actually are. You, by signing up for the low level duty roulette, are agreeing to run this lower level dungeon with the intention of assisting people that need to run those dungeons, in exchange for the gil and myth rewards for doing so.

By all means duty finder lower level dungeons to your hearts content with your friends. You just won't get the roulette rewards because that can only be queued solo (for the above aforementioned reasons).
