    Probability is something that humans are innately bad at, so it's no surprise that you are making a very common and reasonable mistake here. Because yes, there are 32 different dungeons, but they are not weighted equally. The weighting for each individual dungeon is relative to the number of players that are intentionally trying to queue for that dungeon.

    For example, if the overall dungeon queue is empty except for 3 players who intentionally queued for Bardam's Mettle, and you queued as a job that can complete that group, you have a 100% chance of being sent to Bardam's Mettle. If there's a similar situation where 3 players are queued for Bardam's Mettle and 3 players are queued for Mt. Gulg, you have a 50% chance of being sent to either of them. And in both of these cases, you notably have a 0% chance of being sent to any of the other dungeons.

    This is because the goal of the Leveling Roulette isn't to give the person queuing for it a random experience; the goal is to use your body to fill in empty slots in groups. In exchange for that, the Leveling Roulette gives you some bonuses.

    All of which is to demonstrate how the Leveling Roulette has been explicitly designed to provide certain experiences, none of which are what you are after. Hopefully understanding how the Leveling Roulette actually works will help you better make informed decisions about whether or not you want to use it in the future.

    If you aren't doing it for the bonus, that's good news! That means that you won't be missing out on anything if you simply queue for one or more dungeons that you actually want to do. That's what I'd recommend based on what you've said here.
