Request: Please take MSQ dungeons out of the Mentor Roulette

[RokkuEkkusu]

So before you say that Mentor roulette is supposed to be used to help teach new players the game, please hear me out:

When a mentor gets Castrum or Praetorium chances are they are going to leave immediately. Castrum less so, because it can be done in about 20 to 25 minutes compared to Praetorium that is minimum 50 minutes. The only instance it ever takes more than 50 minutes to finish a mentor roulette are some of the harder EX trials like Ramuh, Nidhogg, etc.

If you get a group that presses their buttons and don't take their daily rewards for granted, most Praetorium runs are cleared in 40-45 minutes.

Back on topic, I am aware of everything you said.

Mentor Roulette and the skill level of the average players has taught me one thing: Appreciating the Main Scenario Roulette dungeons, even the unskippable cutscenes. The obvious is clearing Castrum Meridianum and/or The Praetorium via Main Scenario Roulette has me earn extra gil, tomes, exp, Second Chance points, etc. Helping others getting past the story and chatting sometimes are huge pluses.

Now what ultimately made me appreciate those two dungeons is that I prefer getting them over being grouped with randoms in synced Extreme Trials. Most Extreme Trials via Mentor Roulette won't get get past the add phases and/or close to the harder parts. Not to mention clearing them is pretty much a pipe dream. Most players don't even listen or do the advice you give them to avoid the damaging mechanics properly. Keep in mind I have most of these EX Primal on farm when they were synced and relevant, so I myself experienced how difficult these Extreme Trials are with random and how results varies a lot [*points to my Firebird, Nine Tails, and Landerwaffe mounts/achievement dates].
