Lockout Timer for Dungeon Quitters

[Kohashi]

Let's just say their Matching system sucks donkey. I refuse to believe there is only 1 person who needs the dungeon (watches the intro) while the rest are max lvl players.
The roulette is not a roulette when you get the same dungeons 90% of the time.

I absolutely refuse to do WOD and lvl 80 raids (they are 40min- 1 hr long on average) I rather take 30 mins penalty and do something better with my time.

Why do I feel this way? Back in Heavensward, I spent 40 MINUTES in the queue as a PLD for Steps of Faith. When I entered it, everyone abandoned because they thought it was "hard" (seriously???). It was absolutely heartbreaking to queue for that long, excited to progress the MSQ and experience the fight, and have them all just leave. It made me feel like if I can't progress the MSQ then I can't really play... it was soul crushing.

This is something you should get over because this happened, what, 8-9 years ago? Firstly, most of the duties in this game can be done with an NPC party so getting stuck in the MSQ is less of an issue than ever. Second, it's not even prime time and I queued for the final steps of faith instantly AS A DPS (unless you meant the OG steps of faith, which they also 'fixed' by just making it a solo duty.) I mean sheesh pulling up an example from almost a decade ago as a reason this should be implemented is stupid. Legitimately stupid.

To be honest, a roulette is a roulette is a reason. If you can't or don't want to deal with a section of duties, then don't queue up for it.

Yeah but, if someone gets X duty for the 7th day in a row? Especially when there's a vast pool of instances to pull from and level sync system sucks so much. Like I get that it's supposed to help newbies who are queueing, but when everyone is like 80+ in Sastasha? Come on.

It would be extremely helpful if roulette ever groups up a group of people who are all queing for roulette, it will default to the highest level available to that group if within a range, kind of like Limited Leveling Roulette, but permanently in effect and for all roulettes.

It won't prevent people who intentionally never unlock another Alliance Raid queing and forcing up CT, but like, it would be more of an attempt.

Sastasha pops with a party of four lv100s.

Please look forward to it. /s

Can't say I have had that for a very long time.

It would be nice if they could adjust level sync, but again, you queue up for the roulette, so you should expect anything from them. If you don't want to risk low level duties then go spam your highest level dungeons.

I just have very little sympathy because frankly everyone else is playing according to the same set of parameters, and all you're doing is potentially worsening the experience for someone else if they have to sit there for several minutes to replace you, or potentially do the queue all over again. Granted, I can accept bundling all high level players into something like Brayflox isn't the brightest situation, but once again, has an impact on everyone else.

[Asako]

Just removing roulette bonus would be fine, but honestly I'm fine with it as is. Doesn't bother me as I only really play Tank or Healer.

[hynaku]

How about they just remove all roulettes and make all duties solo with the rest of the party Trusts only. One that leave may have to head to work or they could have family emergency. 30-minute penalty is enough.

[Jeeqbit]

No, harsher punishments should not apply. You are not owed my time and effort.

They are not owed your time... unless you queue for a duty and commit said time. Because if you leave, you have wasted their time. As I explained earlier, 40 minutes of my time was wasted the day that happened to me.

a roulette is a roulette is a reason. If you can't or don't want to deal with a section of duties, then don't queue up for it.

Exactly this.

I am over it but it's important to remember and reflect on your experiences when trying to relate to, empathize and agree with people, as I am doing with the OP.

Firstly, most of the duties in this game can be done with an NPC party so getting stuck in the MSQ is less of an issue than ever.

Not for trials, and it'll be a long time before they get through the sidequest dungeons at this rate.

Second, it's not even prime time and I queued for the final steps of faith instantly AS A DPS

You're right. It's faster to queue for duties now in most cases, because the general population of the game was lower in Heavensward. Nevertheless, the argument that tank queues are instant is only true for roulettes and does not apply in the slightest for direct queues, and never has. Everyone just forgets this point because they are used to roulettes.

pulling up an example from almost a decade ago as a reason this should be implemented is stupid. Legitimately stupid.

I wouldn't have this issue now. You know why? Because I'm through the MSQ and the only duties I direct queue for are current content. But that isn't necessarily the case for new players, so the only way for me to relate is to remember when I was a new player.

The roulette queue starts at the lowest level duty and searches up from there. The idea is obviously that it guarantees parties for people doing lower level duties, but kits are so backloaded now that it makes for an incredibly boring experience for everyone else.
