    Default LFG Random Dungeons

    Can trion answer this question a few guild friends and I have please? Why is it when we do multiple random dungeons from the LFG tool that we sometimes get the same dungeon twice in a row (maybe some people have had more times)? I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to place a 1 hour lock on the dungeon you have just done so you don't have to do it again straight after. Last night we did Iron Tombs twice in a row, it would be nice to have a bit of variaty .

    This would further slow down the LFG tool as some people would have locks on one dungeon and others on another, so that team could not do either.

    Dont even need a CD, just need to lower the % of change that the LFG will get that dungeon again with 25% orso for the next 4hours.
    That way you will get another dungeon every time, if you run in 1 set party.
    but at the same time, there wont be 1 dungeon on CD and thus the LFG can still pick all dungeons

    The "Randomizer" (if there is one) has never felt all that random with regards to the dungeons you get from the LFG tool. You often get the same couple over and over.

    It happens because the tool isn't truly random. You are being matched with people who are queuing for specific dungeons in addition to random LFG'ers for starters. Even more, the odds of getting the same dungeon twice in a row even with pure random chance are not that low, relatively speaking.
