    I tried this in the past, unless something has changed, it doesn't work. the random finder doens't care what you're saved to.

    The only way to impact your random dungeon selection seems to be using and carrying crappy gear to prevent you getting things like HHoR

    The RFD checks your bank/bags as well as I understood, so that wouldn't work either.

    I'm pretty sure extending the lockouts doesn't work, as I've popped repeat dungeons in RFD.

    Yup, i know it checks your bag, but I don't believe it checks your bank.

    I'll find the blue post on this subject, brb!


    EDIT: Here we go
    Similar to the gear checks in Battlegrounds, the system will check all of the gear in your inventory.
    And in regards to using lockout, it has some effect but proobably not much unless everyone else queuing has the exact same lockout's:
    No, it's not random. There are some loose gear checks and gear matching systems in place. The Dungeon Finder weights dungeons you've already run a little lower, but then also looks at who is in the queue, what they are in the queue for, and tries to figure out the quickest way to get you inside a dungeon. It's a fairly complicated algorithm that isn't trivial, took a good deal of time to develop, and we're happy with the way it's turned out. Ultimately, it's getting players in dungeons with minimal wait times, but it's not completely random.

    yeah it's not completely random, it favors throwing my priest in HoL or DTK. >.< Could be worse I guess.

    That's not the way random dungeon system works. By extending your lockout you reduce the chance that you will get it again. Notice the quote says that he got the same dungeon 12/13 times? It's because it doesn't work all the time.
