    High level players screwed by leveling roulette

    I feel like high level players (50+) who get put into non-level appropriate dungeons for the leveling roulette get seriously screwed in terms of experience for the roulette.
    I am a level 57 dragoon and got put in Copper Bell Mines knowing that if I got the Aery or The Vault I could have leveled by the end of the dungeon.
    A lot of high level players (especially tanks) just leave when they get put into these dungeons.
    I feel like there should be some sort of incentive for us so we all don't say "screw it" and just quit.
    Whether this is a higher exp gain at the end of the dungeon or some special "High level player wasting their time in a low level dungeon helping others level by accident" bonus...
    I feel that something should be done because it just makes leveling side jobs even more annoying.

    I feel the other way around, I only have MCH, MNK, DRK and BLM to level to 60 and I'm not really 'fond' of these classes but still would like to 60. I queue for roulettes every day and I don't do any dungeons on the side but whenever I get placed in a 56+ dungeon, with my level 50 ironworks gear I feel like I'm letting the team down. I'd rather not spend money on getting better gear when they will be replaced when I hit 60 straight away or grind dungeons to get better gear so low level dungeons suit me better

    I've never had a problem with the amount of experience you get in leveling roulette. The roulette bonus is bigger in lower level dungeons, but in higher level dungeons you get the extra experience from the mob kills so it's kind of a wash.

    You do know the roulette bonus is scaled depending on your level and how much exp you earn in the dungeon...
    So like if you get Sastasha at level 59 your bonus is going to be huge, but if you get the Library it won't be very big (but you had more exp earned through the dungeon).

    Roulette = random. If you don't want random don't queue for roulette????

    this is also partially in response to this thread:

    Like 90% of the reason people leave their roulette dungeons is this.

    Yeah, and if high level players like yourself didn't get put into low level dungeons, then leveling your side jobs would take forever at lower levels because higher levels wouldn't be put in queue with you and your queue would take forever. There's a reason things are the way they are.

    I see a translation problem in there, which is causing some wrong expactations. In german it's called "Roulette: Niedrige Stufe", in english would this mean "low level roulette" and this fits. You go into a low level dungeons, a random low level dungeon cause it's a roulette. And "leveling roulette" fits perfect, cause you go into a random dungeon in the leveling phase. I don't know why all people are crying about, they can't really use the leveling roulette for leveling, it's not for your leveling progress, it's for the leveling progress of others you can help with lowering que times. You get a bonus as compensation for not getting a dungeon on your level and if you hit this be thankful for a bonus to your normal dungeon experiance.

    English one used to be called Low Level Roulette, but was changed with the addition of the 51-59 dungeons to Leveling.
