    I don't see any downside in adding this, so why not.

    I remember queuing up for Titan EX in ARR and i eventually found a group that actually progressed every try and in the end, we killed it before the timer finished, it was mad fun but ofc it's not for the impatient

    Ravana and lackshimi(if lucky) would probably be the easiest one you could get and probably the only one that could clear pretty easily
    but then there is Shinryu EX and Tsukuyomi EX ones that will probably never get done in a roulette

    Ravana EX is an actual joke though, you can burn him down before he even does his ultimate. Try going into King Mog EX and beating it in the same amount of time. You won't. Likewise with a trial with literally any mechanic that requires you to use your brain. Off the top of my head, from personal experiences, the following trials are a leave on sight:

    King Mog (no comment), Leviathan, Ramuh (Rolling Thunder/tank swaps lol) , Thordan, Sephirot (good lord), Nidhogg (DPS checks are hard, throw in the nail mechanics and you may as well just not bother trying), Zurvan (Soar memes), literally everything about Shinryu, Tsukuyomi (meteors/moons), Suzaku adds are still the biggest killer to this day, and people are still incapable of meeting the incredibly lax DPS requirement to beat Seiryu's enrage.

    A roulette of this kind would be a disaster, and you can't deny it.

    highly unlikely some random df group will be able to handle an extreme trial, they're not up to savage level but still require some level of organisation which regular df groups often can't handle.

    I've helped hundreds of random DF groups clear Ex trials. It's just about all I do for instanced running these past few years since I no longer participate in a static. Queue 5/5 ex trials while casually questing. If it pops, I help, give advice, stay the whole hour if necessary.

    Not everyone plays just to down it as fast as possible. Some play this content just because they find it fun and enjoy helping others.

    Ravana X is now easier than Ravana normal and yes I am talking about both being synced and done in duty finder and I assume that the expansion changes made it even easier now.

    If this were to get EX trials out of the mentor roulette (doubt it, but hey, I can hope), I'd be all for such a roulette existing.

    I wouldn't really care about this roulette otherwise though, as I'd never do it.

    Can see it now, they do this and then remove it a patch later when they notice less than 10% of the roulettes that get queued actually get completed.

    I'm willing to bet less than 10% of people who queue in a full party Extreme content (synced) finish it as well. That doesn't stop them from creating extreme content. Not sure how this point adds to the conversation as to why it cannot / should not be done.

    Again, those who don't want to participate in such things, aren't being forced to.
