    I was going to say something similar, but reading through the OP's post... a Cracked Cluster, sure why not.

    I don't think similar rewards to a regular dungeon/trial is too much, no one will do it just for the rewards when a Normal roulette wont chuck them into Titan EX or something. If you help others willingly you deserve a small "thank you". The biggest issue is the mount imo. There are definitely people who are basically using Mentor Roulette as a rare mount farm. I've heard people openly state "I want to unlock Mentor Roulette so I can get the mount".

    I'm not so much against the cracked cluster, "adventurer in need" for trials does much of the same, doesn't it? I don't mind this because there are other ways to get the same items, which aren't all as time-consuming, so it's a good "thank you", as you said.

    My problem comes, as mentioned, with the mount and the other items folks suggested - when this is the only Way To Get A Thing, then people will do it to Get A Thing, not to Do The Thing. And when The Thing requires patience, knowledge, and good sportsmanship to actually be successful and you're shoving folks into it who just want to Get A Thing, well...

    You get the current mentor system.

    No, not all mentors are bad. But not all mentors are good, either.
