Duty finder issues

The bonus at the end is supposed to make up for the lower level.

You'll get a middling bonus when you're in a level 51 dungeon at level 53. But you'll get a giant chunk, at least a third of a level, if you land in baby Stash.

Yep. My old FC leader used to have us take at least one low-level job/class so we would get ARR dungeons. And Sastasha was the goal (even though we'd sometimes que with all members at lvl 68/69 and still get it). I get what the OP is saying though. If you're in a pre-formed party (Full Light), then getting stuff like Sastasha is kind of a downer, even with the larger EXP bonus. I'm hoping that in 5.0 they add a Maximum Average toggle that allows Full-Light parties to get a dungeon based on the lowest level character. Because the random thing is moot when you're fully preformed--you're not filling a slot. I feel like this would jump-start using the Party Finder for Roulettes again instead of those tags just being for ads.

Hey now don't knock the 3 story mode baby primals I had a friend level twice off of Ifrit once. Also if you really want to eek out all the xp in a place then clear it out, use food, squadron xp scrolls, xp accessories if you happen to get something where they'd kick in. Heck I've ran Hakkue Manor so many times that I know that if you're X levels above the cap you have to clear the whole place out to come close to leveling if not actually get a level in there. Does it suck when you're lv 68 and you get Cutters Cry for the fourth time that week? Very much. Should there be tweaks to the system? Probably. Will we see it any time soon? Probably not and the best thing we can hope for is that it'll change in 5.0.

I'd just like a way to prevent long strings of the same dungeon. I've had thirteen days of Aurum Vale on two separate occasions.

Yes it would be nice because i don't want to end up in WoD or LotA all the time i que up for alliance roulette, but that also falls under the roulette rule aka. RNGesus hates us.

Roulette combined with the fact that you can only get the highest-level dungeon that EVERYONE has unlocked. That means in alliance raids it only takes one person out of 24 to be under Lv60, and you have no choice but to do Crystal Tower yet again.

You don't have to explain to me how roulettes work, i know that, its still annoying if you get the same stuff over and over and over again. Thats why i rarely do roulettes.

For me the worst part of Alliance roulette is when you know you probably only got that one because enough people qued up for it solo because of WT. At least that's what I blame when it's weeks of Crystal tower stuff except on monday or tuesday when people go oh yeah WT and you finally break the streak with a Dun Scaith that has a first time bonus attached to it.

The only think I'd like being done with DF is get a notice when "adventurer in need" changes.
I'm these days "fishing" for dps or healer just to break a bit from tanking, and now I need check statuses manually every now and then.

Yea I get excited when it's dps. I can set back and relax a bit during a dungeon instead of having to contend with direction the mobs are facing, who's taking damage, who's pulling threat, where the pats are etc. etc. All I have to worry about is staying out of the aoes and killing what needs to be killed.

By the posts I'm gathering that most people would like:
A.) A better adventurer in need system. One that notifies you and updates more regularly.
B.) A Better DF. One that includes things like group character level in deciding what dungeon it puts you into (no more sastasha runs for parties consisting of all level 40+).
c.) A DF that doesn't string you into the same dungeon over and over (if there is an option).

The only issue I can foresee is in C. If you're in queue and you've done 4 runs of copperbell back to back and someone needs copperbell and you're the only tank in queue I don't think it's fair to pass that DPS or healer by to the next one in line just because someone has done a string of dungeons. Of course that situation would be one in a million unless there is an influx of new players.

Funny thing is I remember a few years ago these same things being suggested. I am impressed by the progress they've made but I wonder why something that "SHOULD" be easy to code is not being implemented. I guess it all depends on what their management team says because even a first year intern should be able to write something that could accomplish both A and B in 30 minutes or so.
