30 Minute Lockout for Leaving Roulette's isn't Working as Intended.

[Brian_]

Let's be realistic. Most people do roulettes for the tomestomes. And, given that truth, depending on what dungeon / trial you get, sometimes the roulette is no longer time or effort efficient for tomestone farming. Aetherial Chemical Research Facility is much longer than the other dungeons. Anything that's not a short trial or guildhest out of mentor roulette is going to take longer.

I'll be completely honest. I'm not going to be some white knight or SJW about this. I leave my roulettes. Sometimes it's frontline roulette and nobody wants to switch to healer. Sometimes it's an ex-roulette and the DPS is way to slow. Sometimes it's mentor roulette and rolls Ramuh EX or some super long dungeon. Even if the penalty was 24 hours I would still leave with no hesitation. I would just find something else to do with my time -- and full credit to this game, there is plenty else to do.

If the penalty ever got so draconian that I could just not deal with it, I would just stop doing roulettes and many other people would, too. We'd just switch to doing whatever else is more efficient for tome farming.

Penalizing people is not going to work. You want people playing your game. As such, you should look to fix this through more proportional rewards. When they designed these roulettes they should've done a better job of balancing the time investment OR gave scaling rewards.

There is 1 roulette that I never leave. That roulette is leveling roulette. Why? Because of the scaling reward. I actually don't like getting Ifrit NM though some will appreciate the quick and easy EXP. I'd much prefer to get a level appropriate dungeon to maybe get some leveling gear, actually benefit from the mob exp, and have it count towards my challenge log dungeon count.

They should apply the same standard to their other roulettes. Reward players and they will do what you want. Punish them and they will find a way around it.
