Leveling Roulette -- Full Group -- Penalty

[Jobio]

My three friends and I (a full group of 4) queued into Leveling Roulette today, but forgot to check the limited button. Instead of vote abandoning, I left, so we could re-queue and I incurred a 30 minute penalty.

When you queue into other things as a 4 man party, you do not incur a penalty. The penalty should be removed from leveling roulette when queued as a full party so that it is consistent with the rest of the game. Especially since it now has an option that modifies its behavior that can accidentally be left off.

Completely agree, I've had something similar happen.

you normally don't incur a penalty for leaving other 4 man content... EXCEPT for Roulettes. The penalty is put there so that you can't just easily leave and fish for something that you want to do over something you don't want to do. This is how it's always been. You should have waited for the vote kick 5 min timer instead.

You can turn that option on and leave it on even when you're running other stuff. It will apply when it can and be ignored when it can't.

I had it happen when we voted to abandon the duty before. The leader of the party got the 30 minute penalty.

I guess I'd ask why it matters if a full party tries to fish for a certain instance? Obviously that's not good if randoms are involved, but if it's a premade, why should it matter? The roulette is for making sure that newer players can play older dungeons in a timely matter, but if it's a full premade, they are taken out of the equation.

kind of defeats the purpose of it being a "roulette" if you're trying to game the system, no?

Joining the roulette as a full party kind of defeats the purpose of the roulette anyway, at least in part, because roulette queues are supposed to supply party members to people queuing for specific dungeons. Presumably that's why they've allowed for the limited dungeon choice in a full party because it doesn't affect anyone but the party themselves.

So does the option to restrict the lvling roulette to the highest dungeons the lowest level person in a premade can access, but they added that. I think they can safely remove leaving penalties for fully premades for all roulettes besides alliance personally.
