Add in 1 map downthump

I play all three roles, will usually sit back and help players who need the help or are struggling, and have friends whom I can ask to jump in if I need a queue filled. Remind me again about waiting some extra time?

your friend wont always be around and when you help ppl your choosing it so meha and in dungeon can't change job so ya... so ill save that till the day you realize your friends will fade away

No. This is ridiculous.

If you don't want certain maps, don't use the roulettes.

Then this suggestion could be helpful. If people would rather not roulette to avoid a certain dungeon, letting them ignore that dungeon will potentially put them back in the roulette to keep queues going.

Will that newbie dps get in eventually? Yeah, from the mentor roulette. And there goes the Mentor who insta-bailed because they don't wanna do Sastasha, either.

Well if people will just jump out anyway, it makes no difference.

tl;dr your suggestion is bad and you should feel bad, before we even get to the needless complications this would introduce to the matchmaking system. Don't wanna run those dungeons? Skip the roulette or take the penalty.

So again there is the potential to increase the roulette pool if dungeons are so disliked that they keep people from queuing.

That's not what we said. Certain dungeons are universally disliked, which means most people would choose that 1 as their 1 per roulette, which means first timers would have a harder time getting into said dungeon.

There will probably be a bias toward a few dungeons, you're right about that. I don't think it's possible to say how much effect that will have though. It might be overshadowed by more players queuing. It's hard to tell without statistics.

For every 1 person who has a dungeon blocked, 3 will not get it. They would either have to create more backend "queues" for those people, or make the one person who is queued with it blocked in the middle of the 4 who are 1st in the queue to wait and fall back to a different spot on the queue. If the next set is also queued for that dungeon, then it could push them back even more.

I'm pretty sure they're just a hyperactive troll out for attention, but I could be wrong.

I've been playing with the same friends since 2.2, over 4 years ago, close to 5 now.

Sure some other friends have quit, but I only did stuff with them occasionally. The core group I have is still around, and we met through the game, I knew none of them IRL beforehand.

One of the main points of the Roulette system of queuing is that it provides additional rewards on top of what you would normally get for running the content. The trade-off for the additional rewards is that you agree to be placed into whichever of the instances within the subset determined by the selected Roulette where your role is needed to complete the party.
Being able to opt out of content you don't like or don't want to do in a Roulette destroys that dynamic and the reward structure it is based on, resulting in a lop-sided system that just doles out extra rewards "because ...".

If you want granular control over which content you queue for, just simply select the specific instances that you want to potentially get from the regular lists and queue for them all together. There, you now functionally have what you want, just don't expect to "take" in the form of extra rewards without the potential of a little "give" in return. If you want those extra rewards you have to be open to potentially ending up in content you don't necessarily like but are needed in by other players.
