    Other than doing Expert roulette daily, I try to run with a full group so that I can avoid this, and so that we get all the chests as well. Too many groups ignore the side chests, which sometimes have gear that I can use or trade for seals.

    Roulette queue with friends defeats the purpose of roulette. I hope they don't add that, because I quite enjoy how much faster it is getting into dungeons now even at the end of the week. Maybe two people queueing together for roulette would be okay, but definitely not an entire premade. Why should you be rewarded for doing something that benefits only you?

    Confused how it would only benefit me? Roulette still picks a dungeon at random isn't like i am asking to be able to choose a specific dungeon just would prefer if you could queue with a friend so not really understanding the issue

    Yes, I said with one friend might be okay, but not an entire premade. Roulette was put in the game to reduce queue times for people trying to do specific dungeons. I never have to wait longer than 5-10 minutes on damage dealer jobs for level 50 dungeons anymore. I remember when it used to be 30mins to an hour. If you could queue for roulette with all 4-8 people, it would defeat the purpose of roulette, and you'd be rewarded for nothing.

    The purpose for roulette was getting more players into the less run dungeons as newer players were leveling and experiencing them. Queuing with friends would defeat the purpose because you would no longer be running it with players who are trying to do the instance and can't because of a lack of participants. However, in this case, they wouldn't be able to do the instance because of a lack of participants (premade party) and they no longer have 3 other strangers to go with.

    This is an extreme case, but that is what the system was designed for. Getting random people to fill out a party that was attempting to run an instance but couldn't find members.

    Neither is being the ass holding up three other people from playing the game because you think you're high and mighty enough to be kicked from the group so you don't have to eat the abandonment timer.

    In runs where we don't open all chests, I do a quick run-through again once everyone else has left. I go in as WHM, so generally I end up dying right after i open the last chest, but it's worth it to me Nothing like uncontested gear drops!
