Aurum Vale strange queue time

[Rathael]

I just started playing Scholar. Naturally all my queue times are instant in this expansion thanks to the lack of healers.

Except, for some reason, specifically Aurum Vale. I have a "more than 30 minutes" queue time on it. Literally everything else is instant, except this one specific dungeon.

I don't think this is purely chalked down to people hating it. There should be enough people waiting in the levelling roulette queue to fill a party for me to do this dungeon.

It seems like some sort of bug, or has this dungeon specifically been removed from the levelling roulette or something?

Interesting. I haven't seen this dungeon pop up in my roulettes since the launch of shadow bringers.

I can confirm Aurum Vale is definitely in leveling roulette, since I got it once about a week ago. IIRC, it is a completely optional dungeon, only required for progression of a couple of side quests like zodiac weapons and squadron rank so I'm sure a lot of people just skip it these days. There's probably a lot of players that don't even have it unlocked, which I imagine would impact the frequency of it being filled by the leveling roulette.

the problem are bots, too many bots are running this dungeon. you cant even enter it if you queue for it solo, which means the problem arent not enough players, the problem is all instances for that dungeons are full. it makes no logical sense that so many normal people would queue for that dungeon so it must be full of bots, just like the temple of qarn and wanderes palace, they farm gil so they cann sell it on their shity website and SE is doing absolute nothing to stop those bots

Aurum Vale is not farmed by bots as the enemies there don't drop gil.

They do, however, pass through it on their questing cycle as the sidequest for the dungeon awards a decent chunk of gil.
