An arbitrary post limit of "20"has no bearing on created "troll" threads.

If it helps us get through these trials and tribulations, then yes.

Not a terrible idea as long as 1) it can be declined freely and without penalty, 2) there is a "be available for conscription" toggle that can be changed at will, and 3) it can be completed an unlimited number of times per day if desired. I don't think it's a great idea, mind you, just not terrible.

I think it would be better to instead expand the queuing system to accommodate queuing for multiple roles concurrently. Alternatively, queue times would decrease if roulette rewards could be applied to any class, not only the class used in the instance. I'd be more than happy to do my roulettes as a tank or healer if I was allowed to funnel those rewards into whatever dps class I was leveling at the time.

Yeah...this would end well. I think this should just be filed under "not a snowballs chance in hell".

I can't believe some people are taking this seriously.

Yeah, I'd love this. Just give me an option to check on/off all the classes I have depending on what I feel like playing when I'm queuing up for something, and have the game choose one automatically for me when it pops.

Never get more than 5min in queue and, when you want to play a DPS you....juste wait cause we all know we have way to much DPS players compared to tank and healer.

"but I don't want to tank or heal !"
And I don't want to be forced to do a content via a conscription system just because YOU want to DPS and consider it's OUR job to ease YOUR queue.

I too want to play my DPS jobs and, when I do so, I just do something else while being in queue or ask friends to come with me as tank or healer. On the other hand, when they want to lvl their DPS, I go with them as healer to ease the waiting time...

I too, really have a thing for Golden Ale.

However, me sad because there's no gold, nor Ale inside that Vale.

I really thing this kind of system could be put into the game for mentors.
Taking place of the mentor roulette, you'd receive notifications that a duty currently requires your rôle and ask if you want to join it.
You could say no to those notifications, and they wouldn't even appaer if you're in a role that can't join a duty or already in queue for something.

However, refusing too much notifications each week would temporarily strip you of your mentor status. And mentors should have some QoL as an incentive to keep their status, like a bigger saddlebag, or cheaper teleport, etc...

Taking a break with DamianFatale. I'd tell Theo to do the same thing but he's basically like a newly hired project manager who's can't wait to pitch his ideas every chance he gets.

You can see how well that went...

Let me fix your suggestion.

1. Create a leveling roulette that isn't limited by daily reset.
2. Let people choose which job is getting the experience.
3. Transfer the experience from the tank/healer they play the roulette with to said job.
4. Enjoy faster queue times.

You forgot :

5. Be a dead weight to all your party members by knowing absolutely nothing about the job you leveled without playing it.

You can't be the dead weight if you never play the job. It's all about that amaro anyways.

I like this idea, as long as you can decline. I mean it'd probably give me something to do other than AFK around housing wards lol.

But then it doesn't become Roulette Conscription anymore. It becomes Roulette Request.

Which, in a funny way, is like an advanced version of in-prog roulette.

An OPTIONAL prompt, maybe, saying "Hey! There's a shortage of Tanks and the queue is empty! Queue up now and receive ______!"

FORCED, I am 100% opposed, and I love to help people when I can! :)

Failure to comply with conscription results in character termination.
