    Why Are Low Level Dungeons Taking So Long To Get Into?

    When 2.4 began, my first priority was to clear it and now that I have, I want to get on the bandwagon and become a fully fledged Ninja. I have gotten my Rogue up to Level 26, but it has been primarily through FATEs and Hunting Log.

    I know that the dungeons are the fastest way to get experience but every time I want to go to one, the wait time is always "More Than 30 min". Which means that my pursuit of becoming a Ninja is getting slowed way down because no one seems to want to do Low Level dungeons anymore, including people in my own FC.

    And I can assure you that it is not just me who will have this problem. It will also be the new avatars coming in on a regular basis who will also have this problem.

    If we are really going to get everything that we want to achieve up to Level 50, we need more Low Level dungeon runs going on.

    Its not that no one wants to do low level dungeons anymore its because EVERYONE is doing dungeons and as a result the que times are huge for DPS. If you want to try ninja in a dungeon you need a Tank or healing buddy. Or que for it while doing fates so you're alt least making progress. And yeah I agree its probably really hard for new players also.

    You want to do low lvl dungeons to lvl ninja, so does 75% of the servers population.

    It takes so long because most people try to do them as DPS, not because there's noone doing them.

    My stance on leveling dungeons honestly is just that there needs to be more of them. High Level Roulette almost has the same amount of dungeons in it that players from 15-49 are supposed to venture into.
    That's crazy to me.
    And you can bet that it makes for some torturous leveling. I know that I hate Toto-Rak so I always use Fates to level right past it.

    If SE created more leveling dungeons, it would make some more interesting leveling happening.

    HOWEVER!

    What's happening with you isn't that people don't wanna do it. It's that you're a ROG/NIN and you're a dps in a queue filled to bursting with them. You want a tank and a healer? Guess what, they are also queueing as ROG/NIN.
    There are people doing dungeons...just not the jobs that make the queue go DING!

    The only way to alleviate issues like this would be to increase the reward given to level 50 players who queue up for low level roulette.

    The reason you're experiencing long queue times is because ninja was just released, it's the first new job in over a year, and everybody is trying to level it up right now. There is not enough people leveling tank and healer jobs at the moment to keep up with the sheer amount of melee DPS that are queuing up, it's as simple as that.

    If you really want to hit 50 on ninja without waiting, dungeons is not a viable option at the moment for leveling that job. Your best options are leves, fates and hunting logs. Once the ninja wave dies down things should return to normal but right now everybody is hyped for ninja and trying to level it at the same time.

    The problem is that no one has much reason to do the lower level dungeons other then A) Leveling other classes, particularly Rogue/Ninja, just like yourself (and myself), and/or B) Daily Roulette, which isn't as rewarding as just grinding ST.

    more dungeons wouldn't alleviate queue times...
    Well, it would for like a month after they first come out, but...

    It doesn't get any better on the level 50 dungeons if you're a DPS, though, either. It will tell you that the average wait is 13 minutes and you end up actually waiting closer to 25. I usually run as healer now unless I have a healer or tank from my FC to help me queue faster. And that really only works for high and expert level roulette. For trying to level, there's really not much that can be done.
