    Suggestion: Split Leveling Roulette

    Admittedly, this could just be my RNG, the role I play, the server im on, etc, but I'm throwing it out there. Since the release of stormblood, it's been pretty rare for me to land in an ARR leveling dungeon. Not to say I dislike the stormblood ones, but I do enjoy the ARR stuff as well and it would be nice to see them a little more often.

    At any rate, I think it would be cool if there was a < 50 leveling roulette and a > 50 leveling roulette to give the ARR dungeons a little more exposure.

    I second this, but for the reason that I would like to do leveling roulette and not get dungeons from level 15~30 when I'm level 65+.

    Maybe 3 separate roulettes? Less than 50, Level 50~60 and Level 60~70; something like that? I like knowing the level range of what I'm getting myself into. I mean for some reason they have split Expert Roulette and Level 70 Dungeons now. So why not? Lol.

    One thought comes to mind though. Perhaps the lower level roulettes would suffer from longer queue times if this roulette got split up so much.

    The reason they don't is a good chunk of people wouldn't touch a 15-50 Leveling Roulette, myself among them. I hate getting Sastasha, Copperbell and Toto-Rak. So yes, please. Give me an option to never look at them again save for Mentor Roulette.

    I doubt they'll do that. Look what happened to the 50 & 60 roulettes once SB hit - the policy seems to be merging roulettes when possible, not create new ones.
    That said, I'm all in favor if the lower-end roulettes would also count for the tank mount achievements. Not only will there be more ways to get points for that that don't necessarily involve 61+ dungeons, but SB only has the 5 dungeons and that gets old after a while.

    Honestly, I think the reason 50/60 Roulette is dead is because of the crappy amount of experience/rewards you get from it. I don't do it simple because I get more experience from SB beast tribes for a fraction of the time/effort compared to 50/60 Roulette. Which sucks, because I really like some of the level 50 and 60 dungeons.

    Luck of the draw I guess. I feel like I haven't seen a leveling roul dungeon above Haukke normal in 6 months. XP

    I’d like what the OP suggested just so I could avoid anything that syncs me below 50.

    I think your experience is just a matter of bad luck combined with many people queuing up directly for SB dungeons due to needing that particular dungeon. The chances of getting a particular dungeon would depend on how many people in the queue want/are eligible for that dungeon.

    Which is why it would be a bad idea to implement it, since you are likely not the only one who would do that.
    The primary purpose of the roulettes is to provide a steady supply of people running dungeons that other people may need. If people start avoiding the <50 dungeons, everyone who just started playing would get much longer queues for the early dungeons.

    Would be good as I'm currently just finished levelling monk and when I was level 69 I though one level roulette would ding me. I ended up in Copperbelt and was getting 500xp per kill instead of 20,000xp per kill in higher dungeons.not sure if the bonus at the end is adjusted to compensate but didn't level and left feeling if I'd got a SB or Late HW dungeon I would have. So had to waste my other roulettes on monk when I had hoped to get a boost on my nectar job with the remaining roulettes.
    However, I can also see that removing the lowers would make queues longer as I'd only use them when levelling up to the cut off (liv.30?) and a bit extra till it becomes pointless due to low cost.
