    This is not like the cracked cluster incentive, which favors tanks and sometimes healers.
    How would it have a negative effect if the dps are already in a queue for the highest dungeon?

    DDs in queue for specific dungeons can only be placed in the specific dungeons for which they queue.

    (For the following examples, assume all players are DDs, and assume positions refer to people across all queues)

    Scenario A:
    You are a Lv63 job in queue for the Lv63 dungeon, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is queued for the Lv28 dungeon. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will be passed over for person #2.

    Scenario B:
    You are a Lv63 job in queue for the Lv63 dungeon, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is a Lv30 job and is queued for DR:Leveling. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will be passed over for person #2.



    Scenario C, with your suggested infinibonites:
    You are a Lv63 job in queue for DR:Leveling, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is queued for the Lv28 dungeon. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will get the spot that would have gone to person 2.

    Scenario D:
    You are a Lv63 job in queue for DR:Leveling, and you are in position 1. The person in position 2 is a Lv30 job and is queued for DR:Leveling. An opening arrives for the Lv28 dungeon. You will get the spot that should have gone to person 2.


    Worst case scenario, lower level players will be waiting in queue longer than they do currently because more high level DDs will be in DR:Leveling. Best case scenario, all the tanks and healers who are also currently queuing for specific dungeons will queue DR:Leveling instead, offsetting the extra DDs but leaving the lowbie queues in no better position than they were originally.

    Bottomless bonuses are at best, a "not terrible" idea. They are not a "good" idea.

    The faster you level, the faster you progress, the less subcription you pay.
