Problem with Duty forced into Expansion Content...

[Zigabar]

I spent the last 2 weeks casually (read: very casually, couple hours every other day or so) getting my level 1 alt through the MSQ and have had no problems with momentum or DF wait time (as a DPS). Currently in Churning Mist, level 53. The trials were probably the fastest to pop. I can see extended wait times if you're playing catch up on patch day, but that's not really the fault of trials and dungeons in MSQ.

Normally, this would not bother me but what is the point of making people do Duty's as part of that, NOBODY ques for Ramuh, Leviathan etc.

Currently there is a brand new patch out and ppl are focussing this new stuff. In some days more ppl will return to do the regular roulettes for tomes and then then the queue time will go down for the Content you are currently struggeling. Also because firsttimers do have a priority slot in DF since Heavensward.

I think party content in MSQ is fine, there just needs to be incentive for people to fill the numbers for people doing it for first time.

roulettes, and higher priority for duties with first timers.

There was a ton of new content added yesterday, so a huge chunk of the player base isn't doing low level stuff. That will all change in about a week after everyone has everything unlocked, and they go back to doing roulettes and leveling alt jobs.

Roulettes do indeed exist but I can count on my hand times when it wasn't the case that I saw a long time queue ranging from 30 minutes to over an hour and when it filled up, people who were synced weren't disparagingly much higher level than the dungeon/trial level. I accidentally omitted "more" before "incentive" in the previous post.

Queue times currently exceeding 20 minutes is completely unacceptable as it creates a wall that does not allow returning players to experience anything new and thats if I get a queue at all, I can't advanced the story and actually get to the content that I paid for.

ummm not true. when i was queing for the content of 2.0 and beyond i didnt have to wait but 2-3 mins heck there were some fights i posted i had a newbiw bonus and PF and it filled like hotcakes! it was awesome!

I don't know about you, but when I played as a black mage during 2.1 and onward I consistently had 20min+ queue times for dungeons when roulette wasn't quite implemented and then on. Hell, I'm pretty sure if I queued as black mage now for roulettes I'd be seeing 20 minute queue times.

access to the city has to be earned by earning their trust.

Plenty of MMOS have similar lockouts, including FFXI.

So yeah, no.

Everyone does the work to get in, you will not cheat your way in without earning it.

Functioning as designed.

Don't think I'll dignify that with a response. I don't mine hard work, I just do not want to be forced to do group content thats old and nobody wants to do as way of completing it.

It may be old content to you and I, but to a new player it is fresh, and fresh is generally perceived as good. Regardless, people are queueing mentor roulette all the time, which puts them in any (non savage/extreme) instanced content. "Nobody" can be construed as an insult to what the mentors contribute to the cause.

I really don't see your issue as... much of an issue with all the inbound interest in doing old content for which others are actively queuing.
