Primal duty roulette is not random

Yeah as other said the roulette is used to help those people who want to queue for specific content, but the roulette isn't purely random, it prioritizes certain instances, reason why even if you and a friend queue for, say ifrit hm and levi hm and you both get 7 people from roulette, the person queuing for levi is probably going to wait a lot more.

It's also highly unlikely (not impossible) for 8 people who queued specifically for roulette to end up in levi hm, cape westwind, ramuh hm or Gilgamesh.

Well, what about the rest? There are still

-Gilgamesh
-Leviathan
-Ramuh

I've never got any of them on DR. Are they even in it?

As above and you need to look up the definition of random. You could get Ifrit all the time but it would still be random. Truly random you would get clusters of the same. There's a dev post somewhere where they explain random.

I'm not sure why people seem to think that the duty roulette is even supposed to be random. I guess the roulette bit throws them off, but that's really only the case with preformed parties. As others have said, every roulette will try to place you in whatever trial/ dungeon other players specifically queued for, presumably matching you with the longest outstanding queue. Shortly after Ramuh was released I got that one every single day for a week or so, and then it tapered off. I still get moogle every now and again, but rarely. I even got Leviathan once (since 2.3). I actually tend to get Chimera/ Hydra almost as often as primals.

a lot of people run the 3 old primals for the weapon loot
not to use them but to "desynthesis" them
i know a lot of friends who do that daily
