I will say, taking a lower (< L30) level DPS into leveling roulette is a nightmare since 3.1. Call BS all you want:



And I repeated that behavior multiple days, multiple attempts. Queuing for the same set of dungeons manually (no roulette, so sans the great bonus...) was a 5-10 minute pop. The roulette logic is broken for low level DPS, period. That being said...

I have found that (at least on Excalibur) FATE leveling is still alive and well, especially once you get to Costa Del Sol and beyond. There was a lull during 3.1 when everyone was on their endgame classes doing the new content, but that method still works. Hunting Log is good. Guildhests are good. Class/job quests. I don't even get to doing levequests unless I'm leveling crafting.

Yeah it sucks that the roulettes are broken, but you can work around it. Hopefully the hotfix going in tonight helps fix some of this.
