    a way to help new people through their questcontent

    something that comes up often are the waiting times for instanced group content. thats bad no matter why you wanna do something, but its especially bad if you have a quest you need that content for. so you cant continue the quest line.

    what if there is a way to let people join specifically into queues for people who have a quest open for the content they queue currently.
    so if i sign up there i get ALWAYS into a group with a player who needs that content for a quest
    having a list with content for which new players (who need that content for progress) are queued for and you could chose from would also be great xD

    sure there are the roulettes but that doesnt seem to be enough to fill the groups.
    wait.... if i wanna help people i could just join mentor roulette?
    yeah no... signing up for mentor roulette only to get castrum with a group full of high lvl players feels just so pointless.

    the mentor system is flawed. we should be able to help specifically new players at their story progress

    The best way to help them is to tell them that DT is this game's GoT season 8

    99% of roulettes match you with someone that queues directly for a duty. 99% of people queue directly for a duty if they have a quest open for it.

    The only exception really is Expert roulette, where all the people there have a good chance of having completed the duty before.

    Almost any roulette, there is someone there whose first time it is, in my experience.

    The intention of it is mostly just to put you into duties where people have been in the queue for a long time. It's pretty common for Castrum, Praetorium, guildhests, trials, Extreme trials and dungeons without Duty Support to have long direct queue times, so that's mostly what Mentor Roulette is. When it runs out of things to put you in, it seems to just throw you into the Expert roulette dungeons.

    It's mainly Castrum lately due to the mog tome event. It's painful but just gotta endure it or wait until the event finishes.

    The best way to do it is play 90% worse than normal so they think they're goated and go into next instance all confident and get clapped.

    This is literally the purpose of every single roulette.

    I think they need to look into the code of roulette.

    Over the last mount I play catch up with MSQ trial and Alliance raid. Direct queue 10 min before the daily reset on a weekend.

    It averages took 40 minutes to pop, then when I queue roulette trial or alliance raid either instant or less than 5 minutes wait.

    That would be due to Direct que your going to be lined up behind other direct que's and all of those get filled in a first come first served basis. Roulettes fill you into any place you can fill any direct que request. (And Trials and Alliance raid are favorable to DPS due to party composition of more DPS in the party.)
