Why isn't Aetherochemical Research Facility in the EX Roulette?

Is it because it doesn't reward gear? It's a damn shame there's no reason to run it after clearing it the first time, especially in a game that mostly tries to make older content relevant...Mostly.

It's likely in Main Scenario Roulette because it's effectively 3.0's Castrum Meridianum. Which is much more appropriate than putting it in Expert Roulette.

Probably because of the mess that was 2.0 and Praetorium/Castrum Meridianum. People wanted to watch cutscenes, but speed runners were going GAHHHH DIRTY CUTSCENE WATCHIN SCRUBS!

This is the solution.

It's not in any roulette.
And I have already seen reports about DPS having over 1.5 hours queue to get in because there is ZERO reason to run it after clearing it.

Considering that it is a required story dungeon, this will be a BIG problem.

Will be required somehow in new relic, coming more or less when it'll start to transform into Cape Westwind v3.0

Make your bets.

It isnt in any duty roulette to make people like me sad. It's best dungeon 3.0 :(

one reason me and my buds think is because it drops no loot, so they would think people would just leave and screw over those who wanted to do it for there MSQ, but thats what me and a few friends think.

I would argue that the current, or at least imminent, situation is worse, since nobody even joins the dungeon. So the people who need it are screwed even worse.

Some people leave - bad, but manageable, as long as it gives Law/Eso most will stay.
Nobody joins at all - BIG ISSUE.

I've gotten it while queued in Trial roulette, or at least before the latest patch I did.

I aggree. Unlike the Praeterium/Castrum this dungeon is actually fun and I would like to play it more frequently in roulette.
