Duty Roulette (remove the one person limit)

[frostmagemari]

Being a long-time player of XI, I can tell you that you should get comfortable with this.

I don't think i'll ever be "comfortable" with it, but i know that it's far too late to ever expect that the programming skills of those involved will increase, as they've already claimed to bring in "the best" for the creation of 2.0.

Too bad. The whole point of the duty roulette is to be rewarded for helping newbs/other people who are short a man to make a DF instance happen. If you want to party with friends queue for a specific dungeon.

I always hear everyone say this.. but, there has never been any SQE release saying this is why it's limited to one person. Really, this just sounds like "Battered Person Syndrome" with respect to the community. Everyone is trying their hardest to come up with a reason why they're not allowed to play with friends, but they would never think that SQE is to blame; Instead, it must be that SQE is doing their best to help the lower level players advance in story dungeons (Though that doesn't at all help explain why the high level Duty Roulette is limited to one person) and we simply refuse to understand.

"Yoshida works in mysterious ways" works too though, considering how much some of the community revere the man.

and if its because they want to scale the system based on how much outside one's clique one deals with(That is to say, most rewards for solo, no rewards for 3s and 4s)

Then SQE would be the only MMO company that actively tries to dissuade you from grouping with friends; Then again, i wouldn't be entirely surprised, as there are already several activities that force you to leave the group your in to participate in the content... though, i would attribute all of these inconveniences to not being able to "program their way out of a paper bag".
