    For new players who like to watch cutscenes it is a good change. Queue times for the new players may increase, but we do not actually know that they will increase, and we certainly do not know queue times will increase enough to be a problem.
    DPS queues are INCREASING NOW!! the fact you can be number 15 to number 5 in 20 minutes and over all have a higher then 30 minute queue? this already has a huge negative impact, and considering this is across a data center, not just a server shows you how little people are using the MSQ roulette now. The reason tanks and healers are getting such short queues is because the pool is so small there is hardly, if any (esp tanks) queuing for it. Wanna know why tanks are prob not queuing for it? because they get faster exp elsewhere.

    A huge negative impact on who? Honestly as a DPS I'm used to those queue times. I just finished Heavensward (playing as summoner) and waited that long to get into the Aetherochemical Facility and Singularity Reactor. I wait that long in the daily leveling roulette.

    There's a queue and the queue is moving.

    (That said, I've only ever gone into MSQ roulette as a tank or healer, because I know those are more in demand and it will help the queue for everyone. So I can't compare the DPS queue times before and after for this specific issue. But queue times are a normal thing for DPS players, and I doubt they could be that discouraged just by encountering another queue at this point in the game.)

    ---

    On a semi-related note, I'm wondering just how the roulette queue works versus the wait time for a player that has specifically queued for one of those dungeons. (Since you don't get a queue number in that case, just an average wait time.) Do they get priority, and the next seven people-with-suitable-classes in the roulette get put into their party? Or are they still in the same queue as people that signed up for the roulette earlier?
