This including every instance in its roulette, even people only queueing for a single instance. Take like puppets bunker might need 1 tank 1 healer and up to 7 dps it'll say tank because it has a higher weight because the instance needs less. But you queue as a healer and get say world of darkness instantly, it wasnt trying to balance out that as much but duty finder tries to lessen queues if a instance would be full rather then the longer waiting queues. Whenever you queue you get locked in for that bonus, even if it changes before duty finder finder a instance for you.”
This sums up my observations perfectly. Out of curiosity I've left the duty finder open to see how often it updates the window and it's seconds rather than minutes. Not sure the exact amount of seconds, could be 30 or more. Matching thousands of people, taking into account their personal limitations of what they have unlocked, their jobs, their place in the queue together with individual requests for specific dungeons, is extremely complicated and I believe the duty finder works really well for what it needs to do. The OP assessment that it's wrong is incorrect.
