The Aetherochemical Research Facility and Duty Roulette

Are there any plans to add Aetherochemical Research Facility to any of the daily Roulettes?

There are currently no issues getting party members, since the content is new, but down the line there might be problems getting a group, since it's the only dungeon not on any Roulette list. It'd be great if it were added to Main Scenario Roulette so that we could have more than two options for that one.

It's already in Expert Roulette

No. Expert is just Neverreap and Fractal.

I second this. It would add variety and a larger chance at bonus law tomes if nothing else. So sick of neverreap.

Ah I always thought it was. That explains why it's never popped.

Is it in Main Scenario Roulette? I've actually been wondering about whether or not it is, but have yet to look.

I also thought it was in the Expert roulette, but read it wasn't. I can guess the reason: it is much easier than Fractal or Neverreap (and many times there are new people and you get the bonus tomes.) If in the same duty roulette there are dungeons with different difficulty you may well end having people quit as soon as they see it is the difficult one they got. This happened with Pharos Sirius when the roulettes were created and the dungeon was not yet nerfed.

There is also other difference: it has no drops. Even then, if you only want the tomes, and you have already done the expert roulette, it's a nice option, since you may get the bonus tomes and it is much less risky than Fractal (until most people has better gear and knows the dungeons much more.)

I really don't understand why they didn't just put Valerian gear in the Aetherochemical Research Facility and place it under Expert Roulette.

I have the feeling it might be in low level, but I can't see people queueing often for low level roulette at 60 when there's EXP to be gained for other classes. Or for Main Story given it still only gives Poetics at the moment.

If it's in anything, it would be in the Main Scenario Roulette (since CM and Prae are in there). I don't know anyone who uses the Main Scenario roulette though so don't know.
