    Queuing for specific duties needs to be on same queue track as roulettes

    Queuing for specific duties always takes infinitely longer than queuing for roulettes. And that makes no sense. They should be in same waiting line ... and when someone who is wait for the specific duty reaches the front of the line, it should immediately snag the available people for that duty from the roulette queue.

    I am queuing for a normal raid, we have both tanks, both healers and 1 DPS, and we're at 11 min so far. That shouldn't happen. It should have pulled 3 DPS from the Normal Raid roulette queue by now and let us go.

    I have friends trying to do low level dungeons that have 30 min wait times for the same reason. There is no reason both queues should not be combined.

    Queuing for specific duties does pull in people from roulettes. It still takes time since you need roulette players that have that specific duty unlocked, are the appropriate level, are in a configuration that fits in your party, and other parties that have been waiting for longer will be filled ahead of yours.

    There are a few factors to take into consideration - are you queueing for the raid in prime hours? Is it old raid?
    I for example have not unlocked omega raid series, as well as HW and STB alliance raids, so lets say you were doing omega, i would not be rouletting into you.

    And of course roulettes do fill up duties people queue for directly. Thats why you're getting rewards for doing them.

    That is exactly what’s happening, the roulette is trying to pull people to what you want to queue for to help you pop it

    The roulette just has multiple people it’s trying to help pop different things which can make it slow when it’s quiet hours

    The roulette isn’t a seperate queue

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    The one thing I would ask for as regards roulettes is to bias toward high level duties, waiting an hour for an AR knowing that I would instantly get Crystal Tower if I queued the roulette is immensely disappointing and frustrating.
