    If they want to keep up this roulette they need to add more flavor to it or change the way parties are distributed within them, because the roulettes do seem to have default dungeons. You can see that in almost every one down the line, alliance excluded since players purposefully skew that one. There has to be a better system if they are only going to be doing 1 at a time. Because as it stands right now, roulettes are some of the worst content we have, simply due to lack of variation in what dungeon they plop you into.

    Could you imagine having to run Neverreap every other day from 3.0 until 4.0 hit /shutter
    I've gotten all the available dungeons plenty enough. I'm sure I've ran some dungeons more than others, but haven't noticed any major problem with distribution.

    Oh my I have.

    Expert are the 2 above

    leveling is always...always Sastasha or 1000 maws

    50/60/70 is Aetherochemical Research 9/10

    Trials is King Mog 4/5 times and titan the other 1

    The list goes on. The only time I see variation we get the new "new player" message.

    I've gotten more fortunate with the expert roulette than you, but Sastasha does tend to pop up a lot in the leveling roulette.

    I wish it'd weigh the dungeon you're assigned a bit more heavily in favor of something closer to your max level.

    For this roulette, I usually end up with The Keeper of the Lake, The Swallow's Compass, or The Ghimlyt Dark.

    That's down to personal luck. If there really were "default dungeons", everyone would see the same pattern. We don't.

    Your chances of getting particular dungeons are driven by two things:

    1. What people are queuing for, and

    2. What people have unlocked.

    Everyone in leveling roulette has unlocked Sastasha. Most have unlocked Toto-Rak. Less have reached the upper levels, and those who have still only need one lower-leveled person out of four (or eight or twenty-four) to drag the whole group down again.

    50/60/70 roulette is unlocked as soon as you have unlocked two dungeons from the list. For anyone rushing through MSQ and not picking up optional dungeons, that means either Snowcloak or Keeper of the Lake - two dungeons I see very frequently in the roulette. ARF is the third guaranteed addition to the list.

    My experience with trials is much more varied. Ifrit is common, as is Susano.

    When we had the Arboretum (Hard) as part of Experts, chances leant heavily towards that because everybody wanted the garden partition.

    And my recent experience leveling a DPS 70-80 almost entirely through the leveling roulette is that as I approach the front of the queue I am quite likely to 'jump' several spots and get called into a Lv70+ dungeon - presumably because I'm the first person in the queue who is eligible for the spot they need filled.
