    Mentor roulette says hi. I get a lot of the ARR primals in that. I've had a few Alexander(mostly Father and Son), but not as often as the EX primals. Kind of surprised/sad I haven't gotten any of the HW EX primals.

    Let's be honest. A good number of those roulettes end either in failure or the mentor outright leaving. There's a reason the system as a whole is looked so down upon. Not saying it's right, but I certainly wouldn't call the mentor roulette a good indication for clear rates.

    I've had a small percentage end in failure. Most of the time they are successful. And yes, a large number of "mentors"(properly read as self-serving-holier-than-thou types) do leave instantly, however there are still a larger number of mentors who will stick with the group until the end, teaching/helping people learn mechanics. It's when the people learning do NOT want to learn that it dissolves even faster than cotton candy in a puddle.

    There’s a slight difference between getting a first clear synced via Mentor Roulette queues, and people actually queuing directly for old Ex primals/8-mans en masse. A lot of Mentor Roulette Ex primals only have 1 or 2 individuals that have queued in directly for it, with the remaining members being mentors tossed in there via the Roulette, rather than 6 or 7 direct queuers and 1 or 2 mentors. Not a lot of people try to queue in directly via DF for ARR Ex primals (or even HW now, I think); they usually turn to FC/LS friends and PF to get unsynced clears (very rarely, you may see a synced first clear in PF).

    As for doing old content synced, there aren’t really any incentives for it other than the challenge and/or nostalgia. If individuals want more people to get their first clears of older, harder content synced, then SE could always implement additional incentives for going back and doing the content synced.

    All this being said, even if one person did clear Titan Ex synced for their first clear, there’s no guarantee that they would really know what they were doing, and could teach other people. Just want to throw that out there.
