Thing is, most of the trials are one-shot, quick things that people can go in and out and be done in ten minutes, and the rewards from the roulette daily reflect that.

Even on a good run, Steps takes a while, and that's assuming people know what they're doing and one-shot it. Completely defeats the point of queueing for roulette at all. And considering how many people still need it, you have a greater and greater chance of getting stuck with it and wasting half an hour of your life.

Most people are probably only doing roulettes to cap out on poetics each week now, which you can easily accomplish just by doing daily experts anyway and is now a much quicker and easier way of getting it done. Meanwhile, people who actually need to do specific trials which are lumped in the roulette pool are out of luck.

I don't know what the solution is, maybe split Steps and some of the harder trials out into a separate pool with increased rewards, or give it significantly increased rewards but only when done via roulette. But having so many trials that are mandatory for storyline completion in the same pool as Steps means that people just avoid it like the plague, and nobody can get the other trials in the pool done - like, I'm trying to get my relic quest done on my Paladin who just hit 50 yesterday and I just can't get a group to pop for Chimera, it's ridiculous.
