SE: Remove undersized ability for WT

[BorisDaBlade]

Can't edit on mobile.

Some new players don't even know what FC's and PF's are and even with mentor chat some people may not be comfortable with it. I know this was my first mmo back in 2014. Large learning curve lol.

So, when something like WT tries to make old content relevant again for new players, Unsyncing it only benefits the old player base and still does nothing for the newbies.

Really their problem though - playing long enough to know what an EX-primals is but not what FCs and PF are?
I dont even believe that WT was intended to get newbies through this old content but to make it relevant AT ALL again. Wether its for new players or old ones. And this IS benefiting new players aswell - when done unsych no one minds taking them into the party. This content was never truely intended to be queued up for, if you ask me...

Well, making WT synced only is only going to make more people use retries on current content, and you'll still have next to nobody queuing for old content. Not many people even do Nidhogg, Ravana and Bismarck anymore, and those are just the easy HW primals.

Ok I can concede your point on ex primals, they aren't required for story, but are needed to unlock mentor roulette.

However, if they removed having to do 1-50 dungeons, level 50 dungeons, and 51-59 dungeons and just changed them to their respective roulette in DF I think that might help quite a bit.

And yes I do realize WT has done nothing for the queue times for 24 man raids, or the alex trials either which is disappointing.

sadly to say amigo the only way to get into these on faster que times are tanks and healers

So you think the daily bonus on those roulettes wont make people do them, but Khloe would? Keep in mind that 1-50 and 51-59 are in ONE roulette atm, so either you put that there and have one empty slot (okay, could be filled with trials) or you split up the leveling roulette. Either way it sounds way to complicated to switch this when there really isnt much to gain here. Long waiting times are normal for dps and having one more reason to do a roulette maybe once a week wont help.

I've been able to knock out the 24 mans with relative ease each week. I do all 3 of the crystal tower runs and occasionally void ark or weeping city.

As for the roulettes, those tend to get done in a premade either way, so that wouldnt help much, I have 3 friends I play with.

[BorisDaBlade]

And because I have to tank or heal all the roulettes, I can almost never level or use a dps in any instanced content.

Maybe it's a selfish request in a vane attempt to lower queue times for dps, but I am looking to help newer players too. And yes maybe 2 more incentives a week to run synced content might help that out.

[Paladinleeds]

It wouldn't. People would just run them with friends or not bother with them at all. DPS queue times are long. Most people want to be DPS, it's that simple. Let's compare the party compositions for dungeons (for example levelling dungeons in both games) between WoW and FFXIV
WoW: 1 tank, 1 healer, 3 DPS
FFXIV: 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS.

We have a much higher DPS playerbase, let's assume they're equivalent across both games (percentage wise, let's argue 10%T/10%H/80%D). Less DPS are needed for each instance, which means to fill all DPS into a group, you need more instances, which means you need more tanks and healers. Yes, DPS have long queue times in all games, but it is especially exacerbated in FFXIV by the party composition.
