Missing a day of roulettes...

No point in roulettes because gear is replaced so quickly. I only did them out of compulsion. Once I took a step back and realised how few of these "dailies" actually needed doing (not many) it was a big relief. I was like OP about a year ago. I dont even bother anymore.

I only do a few if I am levelling a job or if I need tomes to buy Thanalan or Shroud topsoil. Occasionally, I will queue for an AR if need seals in my WT book as there are often new people doing them.

I do several roulettes a day.

I like healing in dungeons.

If I ever see a healer roulette open, I jump in.

It is like 12,000 gil for 15-mins of work, and I get commendations and healing experience as I do. I have noticed myself becoming far better at dungeons and dealing with 'oh shit' moments because of it.

Yes. I know there are quicker ways to make gil, but nothing as good as playing the game and socialising. I can earn myself a piece of 610 gear every 7 or so dungeons.

I only run roulettes if someone drags me into them, I'd say it ends up being probably less than 5 times over the span of a month.
Queueing for daily roulettes is something I never really have the desire to do but it might be because I don't need to level certain classes or require Materia Clusters/Gil.
I'd rather just do some gathering or crafting instead, or even pvp (which is how i usually cap tomes).

For me a major gripe has always been the Tome Cap. I can understand it back in the day when there were a lot less jobs. Now it's just a pain. I personally think the tome cap needs to go to 900 after the first month. After the first month most Savage races are done and I feel like it's a safe time to loosen the restrictions. For a game that boasts playing all the jobs on one character you can't really. Sure you can get poverty gear for alt jobs but if you wanted to take it serious it's just not an option.

Then there is the case of Ninja. 7 Years on and for some reason it's still stuck using Dexterity Gear. At least when you gear your other melee you have some leeway but it's a lot harder to flex to Ninja as it uses a completely different right side than the rest of the role.

As for the roulettes themselves, I think it's time we get a proper 24man roulette split into ARR/HW/SB and SHB/EW. When you queue for 24man its always a ARR one. [personally I prefer this anyway] However I know many people would prefer to get the higher level ones so I think it's time we got this.

Would also love an EX roulette. Unfortunately the only EX roulette at the minute is via Mentor roulette. I can't stand dungeons, I'd happily wipe for an hour in a trial than do a dungeon.

A lot less jobs? You do know they categorize gear by role right? So new jobs like Reaper and Sage are still within Maiming/Slaying and Healing which is shared among a myriad of jobs. Gearing isnt as obtuse as many people believe it to be.

Not all jobs within a role use the same gear. Just because they are within the same role doesn't mean it's a one size fits all. MNK requires Tome legs whilst the DRG doesn't. NIN needs accesories from another job type entirely. If you only play one job it's not an issue, but when you play all of the jobs equally it's a major pain. For as alt job friendly this game is I still have to run 4 endgame alts just to play different jobs. Really uncalled for.

From personal experience since I play all jobs endgame; I heavily rely on crafted gear (which is still perfectly viable for savage raiding btw) and use my tomestones to spread out my upgrading as I see fit. And with the current Manderville weapons, I can rely on those as well instead of going for extreme farming.

I'm being casual here but I never found gearing to be as daunting as other people make it out to be.

I do agree that in terms of getting bis, its extremely not alt-friendly at all and they need to come up with better solutions for players to get multiple upgrades for their roles. But its not something I heavily seek for when I'm doing the content anyway.

I wouldn't feel bad if I were you. Only because the tomestones can be achieved by other means, and you don't have to go down the rolo list. The rolos are good if you want to speed things up, but are not required.

I dont get to do them every day and I do feel sad and disappointed about that. I feel like I wasted time. And this is the job/fomo mentality I tried very hard to get away from in WoW. Its definitely no where in the same ball bark as fomo in WoW if you miss something time sensitive, but it still bothers me.

I'm leveling an alt job now, hit 71 and tried Bozja. 100-500K XP per battle. Not bothering with roulettes any more. I also get all the tomes and nuts I need with three hunt trains on reset day.

You have no idea how hard it is for people to realize that Bozja's meant to be the replacement for POTD/HOH at that tier.

Dungeons will likely still help, no lie. But once you're done with your daily roulette, Bozja's fairly quick even if a little repetitive and monotonous.

Yeah the whole point is that you have viable options for leveling or acquiring tomes in this game. Sometimes I like doing daily roulettes to get some exp chunks, sometimes I go for Bozja or Fates (which also helps with bicolor zone progression in the process) or I do a daily tribal quest.

I kinda wish battlecraft leves were still useful for exp gain at higher levels. Maybe come up with a similar system like the grand leves at Ishgard were you spend a good portion of allowances to do special battle leves that net you a good chunk of exp when you do em or something.

You know, now that you have the whole Blasphemy thing going around, we could bring those back. Would do wonders to make the event feel like it had a larger overarching impact than just "lol 1 minute apocalypse at your local McDonald's".

Honestly wouldve loved to see world events like that happen in other parts of Eorzea in EW due to the context of the Final Days. The only issue is that something like that would be FOMO since itll only have happened during 6.0, so the event would be pointless for them to continue doing as unlike WoW, FFXIV tells its expansions main story in the initial patch, rather than have it spread among a patch cycle.

So yeah if there was a way it could happen, I wouldvr loved it, but I understand why from a design aspect this wouldnt have worked.

I understand that. But like... my reasoning was that, like the Job Quests and stuff like that, we can be well past the main patch and still do stuff that happened during that time. Like, the Blasphemies and the Cardinal Virtues are "technically" still around until we beat them, or they're at least implied to have happened while we were in that whole main scenario mess.

Considering how Battle Leves are mainly used to level stuff up, I was considering "well, it's possible that at around Vanaspati, we get something like this to level up classes. They'll still be accessible, naturally, after the story ends. But just like the Job Quests, it'll be implied to have happened while the MSQ was going on/be implied that remnants are still around."

The real issue is adding it for Endwalker, since Blasphemies really only start being a thing at around Vanaspati, meaning everything pre-lv 75-ish has to come up with something else to handle.

Battle leves were nothing more than FATEs with extra travel and steps, so it seems they just made the FATEs more rewarding and it's been working out great.
