    So assuming it takes an hour for each run to form up a party and suffer through all the cutscenes each time - it will take 34 hours of utterly boring grinding to get the earrings - something that is not even visible on all races.

    Oh trust me, I'm not even remotely advocating that people should run the MSQ for this event. It's not worth it in the slightest, especially when LotA/Syrcus almost insta-pop and last around 20 minutes tops while giving just one tomestone less.

    You can run MSQ roulette and get 600 poes per day and 3 moogle tomes.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    This might be a good time to start leveling a tank. Instant queues on the low-level dungeons, and not a whole lot expected of you in terms of gear or skill there. A couple of runs a day would put you right around 50 tokens, enough to buy any one thing (except for the earrings). If there's only one thing you want from the event, that might be a good way to go about it.

    Yep and as part of the roulette's package it's fine. They were calculating how long it'd take to get one reward via only MSQ roulette with the seeming impression that I was saying running the MSQ dungeons over and over again, and not part of just the standard one and done roulette, would be worth it.

    I have had too many ct's for alliance raid roulette and far too many sub 50 for lvling ques. It is just bad exp and we don't need something like this create an even further demand for lower lvl dungeons and raids. I leveled my character to sixty trying to get him to 70 before stormbringers i should get 50-70 bare minimum. I should get void ark weeping city and dun scaith would it be so bad to put the rewards above lvl 50 dungeons and raids??

    I just run Syrcus Tower. Its super fast, not that boring if you just switch jobs in between for the heck of it, and you get 2 memos each time. I run this one because in the three raids, its the one where mechanics can be ignored the most, except for one in Amon's fight. I got 30 in one afternoon (with a break to eat supper in between) so its not that tedious... and I find it better than Prae or Castrum, since you literally get two Syrcus runs in the time it takes to finish one Prae/Castrum run (so 4 memos instead of 3).
    Althought I understand that some people may find it boring or whatnot :c
