+1 for Roulettes

[Icebrand]

I'd like to be able to bring a +1 for leveling, and trial roulette.

I understand that a full team might dodge the point of the roulette, but one extra person wouldn't really break anything, would it?

It might increase queue times for dps players, because it would be dps + tank/healer for faster queue. Also that way you could gain sort of "control" over dungeons that you get by bringing lower level job.

So do I OP. I never do these roulette's because my pocket tank and I run dungeons together almost exclusively and if one is on the other usually is too. So we end up sticking to expert because we don't want to leave the other out. I do understand not allowing full parties. Especially in low level but I think adding +1 might actually help overall. Yes on occasion a dps spot might be taken up by a tank or healer and dps combo coming in but it would also probably mean more people queuing overall and opening up more spots. Im sure there are other tank/healer duo's like myself out there as well who would only be helping dps get queues by doing it. Not to mention I know for me low level roulette while leveling a dps would have been so much easier if I could have invited along a friend to help me out when it was late and I was facing 40min+ queues.

As for control, allowing premade in expert already gives control and the power of the kick to whoever enters as a group but there haven't been any severe complaint forums (unless I'm missing something). I think for the most part people are responsible and just wanting to run with friends. Yeah you'll get a few jerks who kick a new tank for not speed pulling or some none sense but I think its an overall net gain allowing people to run in pairs. I'd really like to see it if only so I can actually queue up with people who ask for help.

Agreed.

I don't understand why they allow you to queue Duty Roulette EXPERT and High Level with more than 1 person (you and a friend), but for all other Duty Roulettes we can't.

Why?

Please fix this.

I would hazard to guess that the reason why they allow it for Expert and High Level is because players are mostly doing those for tomestones and or item drops. Where as they are attempting to lower the queue times for people trying to progress in the game via Leveling Roulette.

I seem to notice a correlation between single queuing and party queuing. For ex and high roulettes you have to have unlocked each and every instance before the roulette unlocks. That way, while queuing in a party, everyone has the same set of stuff unlocked, no way around it. Those roulettes where you have to queue alone, allow you to queue eveb if you haven't yet unlocked each and every instance the roulette contains. I'm fairly sure this is the only definition that separates the behaviour, why else would you have to unlock each hard dungeon to get the roulette. It's there just so that you can queue as party.
