    Sure, some people would abuse it, but people abuse everything in this game, and that's nothing new. Besides, knowing the devs, they'd put a comically low limit on the number of duties, probably like 10 of them. That's not even enough to rid oneself of all the leveling duties in ARR.
    What makes more sense is looking at the purpose of each roulette then seeing whether that feature could possibly be rolled out. That is fairer - you just admitted that some people would abuse that feature - that could possibly lead to some players not completed quests required for the MSQ or relic quests, etc.

    Example:

    Look at MSQ roulette- if the answer is "it was added to help newer players because no one wanted to queue for it after a certain point"

    well then then - don't allow anyone to deselect it OR - alternate solution - consider changing it to a solo duty

    Alliance roulette - >it was added to make it easier to form parties"

    could possibly enforce that checks such as:
    - are any alliances required for MSQ -- cannot disable
    - are any alliances required to advance in relic quests (example)
    Finally: or maximum number allowed to disable rule - > checks that person has not disabled more than "x" alliance raids out of "y" that are available

    So... What I'm getting here is we're not allowed to have quality of life features if any person could ever abuse them?

    If that's your argument, it's time to get rid of the party finder and shout chat.

    Most people just don't care enough to blacklist everything, and even if they did, we both know that the devs would never allow it.

    So what if a small percentage of the playerbase blacklists the entire Crystal Tower raid series? All that means is they'll have longer queues to pay for it.
    This all balances out, as long as you're willing to accept that most people just don't feel particularly strongly about any particular duty.
    In contrast of course, I'd happily wait an extra 5 minutes in every DPS queue if it meant that I'd never have to do Aurum Vale or Dzemael Darkhold again.
