    The guildhest roulette actually does have problems. Even the devs have said as much waaaaay way back.

    The problem is that 8 man guildhest will almost never pop because of how the duty finder works.

    If for example you have 10 healers in the queue and 50dps for the guildhest roulette.

    The second a tank joins the queue the duty finder will match up a 4 man Guildhest. Then when another tank joins and they'll match another 4 man Guildhest and another and another.. The duty finder system will never sit and wait for a second tank to match that 8 man guildhest when it can get players into a 4 man.

    The only time it will ever try and match the 8 is if someone queues it specifically and even then it can take a life time to pop because everytime it's possible to make a 4 man party for the roulette it'll take those 4 people out of the queue for the 8 man guildhest... This was a huge complaint back in ARR because essentially the only way to get it done was either a preformed party or queue as a tank.

    It's also the same reason the 8 man dungeons from the MSQ are in a seperate MSQ roulette and not tied in with the 50 roulette. and the same reason again the devs said no to adding ARF to the msq roulette in heavensward.

    If you put the 4 man story trials in Trials Roulette you'd break it because the same thing would happen. Every time the system can make a light party it will do so and shove those players in a 4 man trial.. meaning you'd basically never get an 8 man trial.

    The only reason it works in the mentor roulette is because the mentor roulette essentially just queues you for every other roulette and its a case of which queue dings first...
