    I think it's largely because even a failure takes 30 minutes.

    Yes. This fight is is at least 3 times longer than the other fights that come up in the roulette *and* people screw it up all the time. It's a larger time investment for the same reward.

    But players need it to advance to the expansion content.

    Don't know where you get 30 min from, in my experience it usually takes about 17 min for last gate to fall.

    Well, it feels like 30 minutes when folks botch the dragonkiller and you gotta wait it out knowing you can't burn the boss down

    I don't think that's the main reason.

    People used to quit all things. As soon as something isn't easy sail quitters showed up. It had been this way since 2.0. The 30 minutes may aggravate the situation, but the main reason is still that people who are used to 5 min primal facerolls feel that anything longer than 10 minutes is a waste of time.

    Personally I welcome it in the trial roulette. People who just want to faceroll content just have to forgo the little bonus. It's a minimal bonus anyway.
