    I feel like people give up way too easily on an idea just because they can easily pick out a couple of flaws in it.
    I think some of the point of some of the roulettes is to help newer players or players queueing for dead/required story content and giving a reward to incentivize lowering their queue times. Splitting the player base with new queues is counterproductive to that IMO. It would be bad on an expansion launch, too with new jobs being added. Since people with veteran ticked won't get matched with people leveling new jobs or leveling to the new cap which would be quite a bit of people using the roulette.

    They even ilvl sync current max level dungeons at some point to preserve some kind of difficulty. I dunno, I get that spamming 2-3 buttons is boring, but I don't think people (ok some people might) want the dungeons to end up where you start killing things in 3 hits like WoW leveling dungeons at their worst balance wise where heirloom players killed mobs in 3 hits and the 4 other people just followed them with nothing to do.

    And nah, they aren't going to go back and keep re-balancing things for when they add new abilities on each expansion launch. It's unfortunately less work for them to just keep the balance from years ago, and increase enmity modifiers on tank skills when their buffs to all the low level abilities start to affect low level content. They've done that a few times already.

    Could they pull it off? Sure. Are they gonna do it? Probably not.

    I mean they are dragging feet dealing with the MSQ quest issue I doubt they are even going to care about this. See their solution to MSQ roulette: they could have rebalanced it or reworked it, but they didn't and it's pretty much faceroll tier.
