    Remove MSQ Roulette class balance.

    For the past few days melee queue times have been a fraction of the time it is for range. At the time of this posting my Ninja had a < 5min queue wait but my Red Mage is sitting at 26mins. Yesterday my Ninja was at 10min and Red Mage was > 30min.

    The MSQ roulette doesn't need a class balance like other dungeons, trials or raids. Just throw in whatever DPS have been waiting the longest.

    I've been noticing this too on my Dancer. Queues have been rough.

    I like the queues on my Samurai right now, but I have seen MANY more people playing magic/physical ranged instead of melee classes. Maybe they have something that's going along with that?

    There's class balance in MSQ roulette? There was one time when I was levelling RDM (pre-5.0) where there were three of us. We commented we didn't have enough red mages...

    For the sake of playing devil's advocate, we should keep it. Sooner or later people will switch to classes with shorter queue times. This will serve the purpose of getting people to try new things and make parties more diverse. More diversity in parties can aid in the enjoyment of the group.

    I was in Praetorium the other day as one of four black mages, along with two gunbreakers and two scholars. I really don't know what you're talking about.

    Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing but on normal dungeons and stuff too.
    I use my DRG and got into Ravel today in 4 mins, some roulettes have been near instant Q's.
    It took me 30 solid minutes to get into Ravel as a DNC...
    It's the crappy job roles algorithm so it balances with 2 and 2.

    Range/Healer

    That is a very rare fluke. Most of the time it tries to get 2 melee and 2 range classes and also tries not to double up on classes. This isn't needed for the MSQ roulette.

    It's also possible the 4 red mages were all in a party.
