All of those have no loot, no rewards beyond tomes, and all players need to run them.

Dungeons required for the main story are different, like Snowcloak or the Antitower. Those are just like any other dungeon and give loot and other drops.

THIS all of this. Main Scenario is not getting any new things to do. I'm tired of only having like two choices.

If I had to guess in general, it might just be an issue with 4 and 8 man content, though I am aware at least the Guildhest roulette does do the 8-man guildhest in the roulette (which confused me when it popped up).

As you say, it wouldn't be unprecedented. And it's not like you can queue for the roulette with a pre-made party.

PvP works simliarly - you can pop into a 72 person match or a 24 person match. You won't know until it pops.

WTB Lahabrea and Ascian Prime minions! Will run Aetherochemical Research Facility many times for this :D

EDIT: While you are at it, could you please ask the minion and triple triad card masters to consider:

• Rhitahtyn sas Arvina minion from Cape Westwind
• Livia sas Junius minion (with her riding her white Magitek Mount!) from Castrum
• Gaius van Baelsar and Ultima minions from Praetorium
• Vishap minion/card in Steps of Faith
• Nabriales minion/card in The Chrysalis

(can you tell I am minion/TT mad? xD)

There definitely needs to be drops of some sort, be they cards, minions (existing even), music or whatever. What could also help is boosting the tomes for that dungeon to compensate the complete lack of loot. Currently it gives 50 Eso & 10 Lore, why not change that to 80 Poetics, 60 Eso & 20 Lore but only when done through the Level 60 Roulette?

It's the only level 60 dungeon I like and hope to get, it's just the last stretch of it that sucks.
5 Months of Fractal and Neverreap were torture and the 3.2 stuff is one literal hallway dungeon and Ampador AGAIN
3.1 stuff is meh.

Just a sucker for the design of Aetherocemical I guess.

Heck, I was pretty stoked to get ARF in mentor roulette as tank last week! I'm happy that it's added and you can get lore from it now because previously it was just 100 law and no eso. People just don't like ARF because how "gated" it is between pulls, and maybe the i180 sync (yet its still fast enough with it). I don't think they can manage it higher because when you were a newly minted first-time level 60, you were not even sniff close to i180, barely i150. Of course new expert stuff says hello when it comes to time-factor and gating.

Personally, get the item team to create a minion for this dungeon, and add the scrip mats that were added to the level 60 dungeon coffers. Cause we didn't think they were going to be this rare in the first place.

Scrip mats with visible frequency, minions, tt cards, expanding MS Roulette, higher base tome rewards to compensate lack of extras all seem like promising ideas.
Would it be possible to make it so at least ONE person has to be queued for it for the roulette system to try and fill it?
(i.e. Fresh lvl 60 Bard queues for ARF, 200 people in lvl 60 Roulette queue, system allocates a tank a dps and a healer to fill the requested ARF 197 remaining people get allocated to instances of the four regular lvl 60 dungeons.) Not sure if the current system can accomodate such things tho, or if its feasible to work it into the system.
On the other hand... I dont mind the dungeon, tho i would like it to be more rewarding to do.

My suguesstions:

i155 gear exclusively made for this dungeon with Green/Orange/Purple palette swaps of the High Allagan assessors. Weapons optional.
A Minion, maybe a Shabti or Model Dreadnaught?

Except that they'll make the drops with stupidly low drop rates so that people have the "incentive" to keep running the content. Remember, MMOs are always going to make the shiny toys be rare so that you got an excuse to keep playing and I always hear from people how they run EX primals a million times for a pony/bird or how they keep running Void Ark for the card that everyone keeps yanking from. Be careful what you wish for, because you're gonna get sick of the Aetherochemical Research Facility after that nth run for a minion.
