Does anyone like doing Daily roulette?

Grinding can be fun if the content im grinding is fun. Daily roulette is the most boring thing i can imagine. Especially old Crystal Tower Alliance raids. Soooo boring. Just me tho?

To be fair, it *is* pretty boring. I don't do daily roulettes unless I'm actively levelling a job (and even then I mainly do Levelling Roulette, AR Roulette & MSQ Roulette, the rest I don't care for).
Since levelling everything to 100, I just do Mentor Roulette. Don't care for the rest honestly.

I’m in-between.

On one part, I love having something that I can do as a daily routine. Roulettes fits nicely for this criteria. I also like dungeons in general. I like pressing my AoE buttons that tends to get ignored in ‘raiding environments’. I’m okay being a healer in lv50 or lower dungeons because they were not designed to be wall pulled in mind but nevertheless possible without tank’s god awful self sustain in higher levels. The dungeon pools are also generally more varied than everything else, so it keeps the mental image memory fresh except Expert since we’re stuck to 2 outcomes for 4 months lol.

On the other part, there are revolting one like illusion of choice i.e. CT Raid Roulette which is not only because it’s heavily biased, we’re also dealing with highly simplified version of jobs that feels barebone at best. One is tolerable. Both at the same time is a cardinal sin in my book. Alexander Raid from NR also teeters close to being straight up unfun. The only saving grace is they’re super quick lol.

MSR, who? GH, who? Mentor Roulette? I don’t touch those. Looks like a masochistic endeavor lol.

I like leveling, high lvl, trial and nraid. I never do msq or alliance unless with a friend who wants it.

Expert and level cap depends on the mood.

Since I don't find it fun to be dead weight who has to be carried across the finish line, I just stopped queuing for everything except Guildhests and Frontlines. And EVEN THEN I only did Frontlines until I reached Series 30, and then promptly went back to avoiding it because the mode just isn't fun anymore (especially after the addition of Role Actions). Nobody does Guildhests either, so that's often a 30+ minute queue I skip as well.

I'd probably do MSQ Roulette if cutscenes could be skipped, but they can't, so into the trash it goes.

None of the rewards are worth it anymore, I've grown tired of data center traveling all the time to get anything done anyway, and I don't care about making Dynamis queues better by joining content I don't enjoy.

I feel for you. I actively avoid queueing for 'Expert' or 'High Level Dungeons' roulettes as I can't deal with the DDR-mechanics of the new content.

Which doesn't mean I don't get the likes of the Arcadion trials when I queue Normal Raid roulettes. And I always feel like a burden to the teams that I get put in for them.

The only problem I have with roulettes is that even though they say that no dungeons are weighted differently, I always seem to get the same handful every single day. I got king mog every day for over a month last year in trials and 1000 yawns is constant in leveling That isnt even touching the constant CT raids in alliance. Then when they fiddled with dungeons and made them easier so trusts could do them, they made them even more boring.

If we could lock out 3 dungeons/trials per roulette each day, that has more than say 10, that would make running them at least a little better.

It's fun, yes, due to the variety. Especially if you switch jobs sometimes. But you brought up Crystal Tower as if it's the only roulette. In mentor roulette, for example, you don't ever get alliance raids except in-progress (and you can disable that).

Alliance Raid roulette was fun for me when doing it for the relic because it was rarely Crystal Tower.

I enjoy it as a daily routine. I enjoyed it a lot more when jobs were more fun to play.

I swear, by the way folks talk about it, I feel like I'm the only one who LOVES the Crystal Tower raid series. That said, I do get it quite frequently and I believe that Crystal Tower raids would be better off put in the Duty Roulette: Main Scenario section. Afterall, any of the raids from that series would take about the same time to complete as Praetorium, and CT is a requirement to progress the story now anyways, so it fits the conditions...

Otherwise, Duty Roulettes don't bother me for the most part due to the variety, but Expert specifically can get old pretty quick given that its the same 2-3 dungeons over and over.

I don't mind it. Least not conceptually. In practice this thing is clearly weighted to pick certain content. You can't expect me to believe it picks Crystal Tower with an 80% rate in Aether of all places. But I can choose to not do roulettes I don't wanna do, too. So ultimately it's just a decent way to churn out like 50k gil per bonus.
