Roulette Tweak Suggestion

[Lelila38]

I keep hearing,

"I don't mind doing Sastasha if there's somebody who needs it, but we shouldn't end up in Sastasha if we're a complete party of high level characters."

The thing is, the roulette isn't there for complete parties of high level characters who want to queue DR:Leveling. It's there for the solo people who are queued up for specific dungeons hoping that people will queue up for DR:Leveling with an open spot in the party. So if you don't want to end up in Sastasha, queue for the specific level-appropriate dungeon your party wants to do.

I do queue solo for that most times, and a lot of times, if I check the other people, I notice everyone is on the 50-70 range. So I wonder why we get thrown into an extremely low lvl dungeon, when all people would have been able to enter a higher one, which benefits everyone more.
Also, I get its a roulette, but I keep getting into low dungeons a lot more than, say, HW or SB leveling dungeons. If it's a real roulette each one should have the same chance of showing up, but it's mostly Sastasha and Haukke I get thrown into, even if there's no-one who needs those in the party.

When you Q up for a Leveling Roulette, you will get the same reward REGARDLESS which dungeon you are placed in. Yes, Baby Ifrit will give you the same Daily Roulette Reward as Doma Castle.

This is wrong.

The adventurer in need bonus is set, and is independent of the content you end up in.

The daily roulette bonus increases as the level of the content decreases (in most cases, this correlates to lower expected natural dungeon experience). If you end up in the final leveling dungeon, your roulette reward will be much lower than if you were placed in Sastasha. This is to compensate you for running lower level content, and is what the DF entry means by

Bonus EXP and gill will be awarded to compensate for the discrepancy between character and duty levels. A further percentage will then be added based on character level.

If it's a real roulette each one should have the same chance of showing up, but it's mostly Sastasha and Haukke I get thrown into, even if there's no-one who needs those in the party.

You can't make any judgements about poor randomness based on your roulette results. There are thousands of other roulettes run every day.

Okay, then the actual % is not enough to make it worthwhile.

They need to buff it, because you still get way more XP out of current content than you would Sastasha. I'll do actual comparisons next time I get these kinds of dungeons and show you real numbers in actual practice instead of a screenshot of the game giving you a vague statement that doesn't really tell you what you actually get.

So maybe I was "wrong" that it is the "same" but yet again, there's not enough of a difference to offset how much XP you are losing from kills. At 30,000XP per kill, the difference is very noticeable. That, and the lack of decent loot if you get stuck in Sastasha you get Lv16 gear. Big whoop. I'd rather get a Stormblood dungeon and get gear my other jobs could use or something I don't already have that I could use for glamours. And everybody else in the group is also high enough level, I bet most of them would wish the same.

So why stick us in Sastasha, again?

So, what, we're down to arguing semantics now?

When you queue for a leveling dungeon, you get a static amount of XP based on your level, which obviously scales the higher up you go. The issue isn't that part, it's more to do with the fact that you're thrown into Tamtara with a party of all 60+ characters, because screw it you don't need the XP, right? It's frustrating when you're just starting a new set of levels, only to jump into the roulette and get stuck in a dungeon of other, similarly leveled characters in a place where you have 2 buttons to use. I'm sure none of us have problems doing dungeon runs when we see someone at the recommended level of the dungeon, or we see that first time bonus pop up, but if we're all 60+, why the hell are we forced to run through goddamn Sastasha?

You chose to queue for the roulette instead of queuing for the specific dungeons that you actually wanted to do. If you want to do something else, queue for something else.
