    Arguing in favor of impatience is never the same as being patient. And technically, it's all "baby content". We're all playing a video game, something we're paying to be entertained by. It's not a job, there's no sub-requirements for participation, there's no technical requirements.

    If you truly feel that being impatient and ruining another's 1st time experience in something that's supposed to be entertainment is worth it to save yourself a smidge of time because you're treating it like a job, then that's on you. Don't expect the rest of us who are ok with being patient to also be ok with being forced into participation because you don't want to be patient.
    There are a plethora of tools that a person can take advantage of to maintain their “first experience”. But roulettes are used for people to make quick gains. Whether for exp towards their own leveling, or a tome bonus to help get gear. As is with roulettes, you take what you are given. Sometimes that pairs us up with first timers. Sorry newbie, the system in place allows my path to cross with your, and we are getting to the end of this dungeon without allowing you to explore etc. That may include fighting during a cutscene. I run in with my team.
    You really want to help newbies out, maintaining their first experience? Explain the tools available to them. Submit yourself to their cause and volunteer your time. But as is, you get what you’re given. We have to deal with it. Or chine on the forums, not accepting that it wont actually change a thing.
    Btw, their first experience is not more important than my over all experience. I’m playing this game for me. Not them. Everyone in duty finder is just there as a means to get done what I need. At the end of the day, who are these people to me?

    The primary purpose of roulettes is to fill duties so first-timers can get through the MSQ. Your tomes and other daily rewards are a bribe to help them out. You're secondary.

    Yes thats an argument I used before. I’m aware of the purpose of roulettes. The part you got wrong is its not for first timers. It’s to fill duties in general. No one is secondary. Has nothing to do with prioritizing new players and first timers. You were so close
