Random Dungeon Queue Change Needed

Can we please put in a +/- 2k IL for the members to be partied with? I am currently 15.5 and I decided to try the random epics and I was being grouped with folks barely past 10k IL. I was doing 3 times the amount of damage as the rest of my group combined. Yet NOT BEING rewarded for it.
Even eTOS which was usually a breeze for the groups I normally ran them with prior to the patch was an agonizing 30 minute jaunt as players were literally pulling every single damn mob. The skill different is huge as well.
This IMHO is utterly a horrible idea to gate RAD's behind this. At least make the party members comparable in IL

Examples of the absurdity:
13K character... but has yet to unlock mSP. Sorry... you have to run LEVELING dungeons to earn AD.
10K character... with FBI and mSP unlocked... and completed. Sorry... you have to run LEVELING dungeons to earn AD.
9K Character... has beaten all but FBI, mSP, and ToNG... sorry... You have to run LEVELING dungeons now to earn AD.
Oh but dont fret... all of you players who are not important enough (spent enough money) to run the higher level content you used to be able to now... you can always run skirmishes too. Nothing like a good slap in the face to keep customers coming back for more, right?
The dungeon queues need to be broken into tiers... just like the item level requirements of the dungeons are. The skill and gear required to complete Valindra's Tower IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to what is needed to complete Master Spellplauge. But... I think we told you that when this was still on preview... didnt we devs?
This is the most obtuse idea anyone has ever come up with.

*Does this mean anytime there's a new Mod the entire game will be locked out the random que for a month while you unlock the campaign??
Hopefully the Dev's will see that this system needs tweaking. While I commend their efforts to improving the playing lives of those players solely dependent on the queue system (versus guilds or player chat channels), the implementation is rough at best. This is the first MMO I have ever played that encourages and rewards people for not playing with their friends, for playing solo. Crazy. "Hey guys, anyone wanna runs some dungeons?" "Nah, just gonna queue my randoms and get my AD."
And that special queue does not reward AD either.
I agree MSP and FBI should be seperate queues. Honestly, the system should have been built in a way that it just grabs 5 people, checks what they all have unlocked in common, and then pick one. That doesn't sound too hard, and everyone gets to run.
Of course, this gives more benefit to unlocking stuff...which is probably their ultimate goal.
On a side note, I don't appreciate running these Epic Random Dungeons with less than 5 people for the major course of the dungeon. What I have experienced a few times are people in the group who begrudge "having to queue a random queue" (though nobody forced them to click that button) and consequently do little to nothing during the course of the dungeon. When I attempt a vote kick there are not enough votes because, well, people are inherently good and don't want to be the meanie and kick someone. Consequently, the whiney slackers get their bonus AD for queueing random at the efforts of 2 or 3 people. Yeah, no bueno.
Basically, you got the random privilege of carrying some mules through eToS so they could get free RAD
They probably knew the dungeon just fine, but probably didn't have more than a few enchants between them and no experience at all in their classes
Just count your lucky stars you didn't get FBI or MSP lol
Pretty sure that was the main goal here

if they wanted to do that they should have just made ultimate enchanting stones or whatever they are called a reward in those dungeons

This.
Instead of forcing people to do things they don't want to do in a game, this is a game right?, because it's not fun for them, give them a reason that they want to do it. The drops in FBI are abysmal for the time spent there.
On my main toon (TR13.2k gs) cant seem to find a group to run random epic dungeons and on my weaker SW (lvl70 10.2k gs) just had the most bizarre experience.. i was trying to get my RAD's for the day so i ended up running the random 3 man dungeon and getting Clock tower... lvl12... hmm .. at least it was quick. and i did at least get my AD's, but not one bit of fun.. then i tried the random skirmish and got merchant prince's folly and so i died... a lot! (i havn't even finished icewind dale on this toon yet let alone even visiting chult but i could enter the skirmish), which by the way was also heaps of fun....NOT!
which developer thought this would be a good idea? did they really think this through, did they think that this would be good for their game? did they think at all? what a load of rubbish. totally agree with the essence of this thread.

BTW, I unlocked every dungeon on my main, so other chars I played in SOMI can run random epic dungeon.
Last words to this feature: It is more likely, that hell freezes over, then me running SOMI on 6 chars.

This, I suspect, is exactly why the new SKT campaign buyout just happened to come out right before this stupid random Q.
This couldn't be any more of an elitist mentality. I run/ran etos/cn/elol/esot on all my toons with everyone and anyone that wanted to come and very rarely did a 10k player cause chaos, ironically those high IL GWF's constantly caused chaos due to your exact mentality here.

Yes it does. 30 percent, to be exact.
