[Request] Roulette Conscription!

Rofl, how about no? And not just no, Ifrit extreme inferno level no.

Furious would not even begin to describe my reaction to something like this. I do plenty of things outside of stupid roulettes I would be pissed to be dragged away from. To say nothing of what would happen if I got a notice like that two minutes before I had to head to work, and thus got locked out of rewards I might've had time for later. Maybe. If I wasn't already working on a different project.

So no, you can drop this idea right into the darkest part of the Tempest thanks! :)

Where instead of just eating the fruit you have to make a pie out of it every few stacks.

Sorry, but if i wanna run something i'll queue myself, having my story progress halted and gathering interrupt would be obnoxious af.
Especially if im thrown into Toto Rak or Aurum Vale *shivers*

Please get yourself checked out my man D:

Nah not needed me thinks

Grats on the marriage Theo, is it Lauront? or secret lover? dun dun dun

Wouldn't work because it would invalidate any other content besides roulettes?

Oh, you're going to craft for a bit? Nope, gotta go run Orbonne
You want to gather for a couple of hours? Negative, go help people fill up for A12
You'd like to run some hunts or Eureka? Can't, there's people trying to run Sohm Al Hard.

A bored Theo is a bad Theo.

This "Foundation", it's weed money, isn't it.

Imagine thinking that a post limit is ever a good idea at all....

Well, there is potential in the idea if given certain modifications.

That is, first and foremost, the most important part: that you can decline. And you should be able to decline before being summoned into the duty.

A few other things:
- You should not be locked out of rewards, because you can decline due to being busy, then accept the next offer.
- You should only be offered it no more than once an hour, regardless if you accept or decline.
- You should be able to see exactly what type of duty it is and what role (or roles) is needed, according to what's available to your character.
- Offer it also to people who are waiting in queue without breaking their queue in case they want to do that instead of continuing to wait for the queue.
- Don't offer it to people who are watching cutscenes or in combat or otherwise preoccupied with some duty.

Maybe there are a few other things if I can think of them later.
