    It won't, because RNG dictates everything. If you're only after a specific piece, you could be competing against two to seven other people. This alone can force you to spend hours running Rabanastre for a single drop since not only is the piece itself not guaranteed to drop, you, potentially, have less a chance of winning it. If they want to make things fair, simply introduce a token system similar to EX Primals. You either have to run Rabanastre ten times or get lucky that week with a drop earlier.

    All this promotes is NA/EU running premade groups where every picks something beforehand. Those queuing in solo may have slower queues, especially once Pagos releases and people abandon Rabanastre en masse due to its awful RNG.

    I can tell you right now, if a DPS who dies to every aoe wins my healer drop. I will let them die and leave them dead the reminder of the instance.

    They have data already that shows them that NA/EU players would rather PUG, and that's pretty much the ONLY way to get casual players to play a teamwork duty, since they do not have the time to find players to fill a party if they only have an hour or so to play.

    It's possible but, I'm not really dropping this possibility considering what they did with eureka
