Extreme primals do not belong in Mentor roulette.

Not this again...

If they are going to be in there, put both the coils and alex in too. EX primals are a lot more useless than either of those, and i don't really get why people queue for them synced. It's like trying to farm doggos at min ilvl.

Maybe they play a videogame for the challenge and not to brainafk it while watching netflix stream.

It's just my theory but I think it's mostly new player innocence that causes it. A lot of the Ex Primals I've got are the ARR ones, rarely ever has there been an HW one lucky enough. Example the new players do Garuda (Easy) then move on to Hard and because of only a few mech differences I think they believe the Extreme ones would only be slightly harder as well so they queue through DF like any other duty. It's only once they get in to the Extreme Trial that it's much more punishing than they imagined and they either clear or have to abandon.

Wouldn't the consequent thing then be to do them minimum iLvL synced, rather than regularly synced?

Unless, of course, you're referring to the challenge of carrying the less skilled through content. Then there's no better place than random groups. A bit like training with weights.

Well you cant queue dutyfinder with min ilvl setting, you would need a premade

"Skilled players".

No.
Average player who know how to question and watch mechanics can deal with and clear that kind of content.

Besides, that's precisely what the mentor system is here for.
To unlock the mentor roulette, you need to clear every extreme because you're expected to be able to help newcomers on every type of content.
If the group isn't patient, this isn't the fault of the content, but the group itself. On the other hand, you can match with people who will stay until the end of the timer and possibily clear it.

This roulette works as intented.

I didn't clear Ravana EXTREME in Heavensward at the time of Mentor's introduction. But I have the Golden Crown. <.< Nor even Thorden. Soooooo...

I'm pretty sure it's more likely that most people just hop in DF for them like everything else because 1) the quest log tells you to, and 2) they assume it will be more faceroll content like the "hard" primals were and not realize that it's something you actually need a degree of coordination to complete.

You can have the crown but not have access to mentor roulette.

You just need 1k duties done, 300 commends and a tank, DPS and healer at 60 to get the crown.
