Why is "Duty Roulette" a solo feature?

[Amyas]

I know people say its so those low-level dungeons can get tanks/healers, but as a tank I don't even bother with low-level DR, the rewards aren't enough. Only 10 myth? At least make it thirty so it'll be on par with WP/AK. Haven't even tried it, too much risk getting in a group in SV that times out on the last boss because issues or w/e and 0 reward.

As a tank, I've DF'd Stone Vigil at least 40 times to get my sword and have never had a party time out. So I'm confused as to how this is even an example...

You must be confused a lot if you don't realize different people have different experiences than you.
Every other time I've tried it, whether it be for leveling or to help friends, we get to the boss with maybe 15-10 mins left and we wipe once or twice to it before I leave. I can't make people dodge. Also I'm confused on why you'd bother running an instance '40 times' for a weapon that's worthless.

Do you not explain the fights to people? Or do you just not understand the mechanics enough to explain the fights? I've never led a DF party through that dungeon that had serious issues on any part of the dungeon aside from the final boss, and even that's only a wipe or two before they start to get it.

Because it wasn't worthless to me?

Sure I explain fights. Like I said though, I can't force people to dodge aoe, and no matter how much I say 'Move back, patrol inc. Aevis inc. MOVE PLEASE!' people still stand there and aggro patrols while fighting sprites, causing a wipe. For the fourth time. Even better is when I tried to go in as a drg to level it and got a crappy pld that would use all his defensive cooldowns as he pulled and ignore people when they'd say 'you should save your cds when your in the fight' and never, ever say a word.
And the wep is worthless, GC weps of the same level have better stats esp in combination with other gc gear.

EDIT: and back to my main point, low level DR just isn't worth the rewards it gives.

That's just odd. The closest I've ever come to timing out on the final boss of SV was when I joined an in-progress party that only had ten minutes left. And we still managed to get through and beat the final boss within the last minute. x_x

It's worthless to you, not to me. Stats aren't everything to everyone.
